Chances.... (not applying to Harvard though)

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>Hey, so I'm posting this on here because Harvard seems to have a very lively forum! --- Okay, so I admit I used to find these chance threads very annoying and it seemed like everyone posting just wanted acknowledgment of their amazingness and were fishing for compliments, but I am so sick of waiting that I'm wondering if someone could chance me for Stanford......okay, here I go:</p>

<p>SAT I: 2200
GPA uw: 3.87
-I don't know rank, but I go to a competitive college prep school in St. Paul, Minnesota and have taken the most rigorous course load available and plan to take another math class this summer (which I noted in my "additional information" section).</p>

<p>Varsity sports:
Soccer - 4 years (all conference 3 years, captain senior year, top GPA on team - academic excellence award)
Basketball - 4 years (captain 2 years, all-conference 3 years, about 1,700 pts. in career - all-time leading scorer @ my school)
Track -4 years, various awards, all-conference 2 years, hold 1600m record (but just for girls haha).</p>

<p>EC:
Math Club (club leader 11, 12)
Science Club (leader 11, 12)
MOSAIC Diversity Club (leader 11,12)
Environmental Club (Leader 11,12)
Amnesty International
Tutors' Guild</p>

<p>300+ hours of community service (including service trips to Mexico and Tanzania, wrote about Tanzania for CommonApp essay)
-various projects on my reservation; raise money and awareness at my school</p>

<p>Jobs:
US Soccer certified referee - grade 8 (since 10th grade)
job at German Christmas store since beginning of 11th grade</p>

<p>Essays:
I really liked all of them. As I said, main one is about what I learned in Tanzania.
IV: my math teacher in 10th grade (who is now part of the Peace Corps in Tanzania)
Roommate: About MOSAIC and my being Native American and what I have learned from both and how I have shared this at my school.
Why Stanford?: I love this one...I felt like it was personal, but also showed that I had seriously researched Stanford and discovered it as a perfect fit.
<--If you want to read any of these, just PM me and give me some feedback.</p>

<p>Other Factors:
American Indian and quite involved with my tribe. I've spoken with Stanford's "liaison" to Native applicants quite a bit, developed a quite good relationship, I don't know if this helps at all, but I'm pretty sure she is on the adcom.</p>

<p>Chance me for these schools as well (if you want to):
-Washington University in St. Louis
-Duke
-Northwestern
-Vanderbilt</p>

<p>Stanford and WU are my top choices for sure. Also, do you think I have any chances at getting invites to any of these schools "multicultural weekends" or a likely letter? I dunno.....any input is appreciated! Wado!</p>

<p>What do you guys think? And, honestly, I am not trying to fish for compliments, I'm just very anxious! Thanks for reading this and good luck to all!!</p>

<p>0 chance of getting into Harvard since you didn't apply there. get back to your own forums..</p>

<p>You're a very strong applicant. I hate to say this, but being American Indian will definitely work in your favor.</p>

<p>While I admit that the Harvard form is by far the best on CC and known for its outstanding intellect and gravitas, I fear I cannot chance your cumload. The Stanford board may be willing to, but alas, they lack the cumload appreciation present at Chez CC Harvard.</p>

<p>^ Chance his WHAT?!</p>

6

<p>Ah, I don't really know how to respond to this.....in this case, I did apply to Harvard.....;).</p>

<p>@squaregirl: haha uh, w.t.f.!?</p>

8

<p>Ask the prophet. HE STARTED IT.</p>

9

<p>OP: what? ? ?</p>

10

<p>haha when the prof. did it it was in reference to the national latin exam and the cum laude awards that they give. this kid doesnt even take latin</p>

11

<p>...</p>

<p>Which just goes to show where my brain was at when I read that thread. (Answer: somewhere in space, apparently.)</p>

12

<p>Dpattz, you've been sickening lately. That's all.</p>

13

<p>haha dont worry about it my brain spends most of its time lost somewhere in space</p>

14

<p>Ah, can I delete this thread or can the administrator do that for me? I don't even know what I did wrong or how I've been so sickening......</p>

15

<p>OP: I think you stand a good chance for all the schools you applied to. But, did you apply to Harvard or not...or are you a not a senior yet? Good luck!</p>

16

<p>Let's just clear some stuff up:</p>

<p>I am a senior this year, but I did not apply to any ivy league schools.....so, I didn't apply to Harvard.....however, I posted my threads on this forum because it seems to be a pretty lively forum with a lot of chance threads, so I thought some people might be willing to chance me on here. I didn't mean to spark any confusion, I'm honestly just curious. Also, good luck to everyone who reads this forum!</p>

17

<p>Haha, we're just messing you with. I'm sure you have as good a chance as anyone at Stanford. :)</p>

18

<p>Well, why did you call my stats a "cumload"? </p>

<p>.....that's just gross.</p>

19

<p>This board comes with its own sense of humor. :P</p>

<p>dpattz, I've seen you post this atleast four times in different forums.</p>

<p>Stop it, really.</p>
