<p>Other things I forgot to add:</p>
<p>National merit Scholar Semi-finalist
Honorable Mention-High School Journalism Awards
Excellence in writing
Honor roll all years (current valedictorian)
Founder-Further Mathematics SL IB class at school</p>
<p>Harvard: Reach
Yale (Early Action): Reach, not sure but EA might set you into Low Reach category
Princeton: Reach
West Point: Low Match/High Safety, even
Columbia: High Match, possibly Match with your Intel competitions
Cornell: Low-Mid Match
UPenn: High Match
MIT: Reach but as low as Match because of your Intel competitions
Stanford: Reach</p>
<p>I don't know how prestigious the Intel competitions that you did are, but if they are at the national level, then your Matches might be brought down a notch to High Reach, even. It depends. Also, be sure to show passion in your essays - I don't get the feeling you're passionate about something, except indirectly through how many times you've won Intel competitions.</p>
<p>His AP scores are pretty low even though he took quite a bit... also you have no awards on a national level. I hope you have a hook in your essays...</p>
<p>Bump.......</p>
<p>I have to agree with disasterous, I took about the same and I didn't get any 3's. Not insinuating anything but AP Gov is supposed to be the easiest one out there, it's a one term AP class.</p>
