<p>I'm a Chinese male, junior this year. </p>

<p>SATs 1480 (780M, 700V), but I'm planning on taking the new ones anyway. Hopefully, they will be much higher.
GPA: 4.6/4.0, rank 1 out of 510
Calc BC AP-5, soph.
Currently in: AP Chem, AP Span., AP Poli Sci, AP Econ, English Hon., Physics
Took Diff. Eqn's, Multivariable Calc. III, now in Lin. Algebra
Sports: CrossCountry Fr.-Currently, Track Fr.-Currently
EC's:
Math Team (Some awards for regional and state. Captain, Oralist. Some 1st place ribbons and AMC 12 High Score freshman-senior year (actually, definitely this year, hopefully senior year)).

Key Club</p>

<p>Also, I was an intern at Fermilab Soph. Year. Did some projects, got paid min. wage, etc.</p>

<p>Looking at U of Illinois in Champaign, Princeton (I don't think I'll get this one), MIT/Caltech, U of Chicago, and maybe U of Cal. in Berkeley.</p>

<p>I'm guessing my recommendations will be alright, because my CC and Track coach is also my counselor, and I think (hope?) he likes me.</p>

<p>If you could provide some input, I would be overjoyed. Thnx. </p>

<p>BTW-does being asian actually affect my chances, or is that a myth?</p>

<p>its very unlikely ou're going to get in with thos escores. </p>

<p>take some review classes and boost those scores</p>

<p>I shouldn't have too much of a problem with U of Illinois or UChicago, though, right? RIGHT???</p>

<p>Whaaat? since when is 1480 too low? theyre great scores u should be very proud of. For UIUC, i dont think you' ll have much trouble, i know a bunch of people getting in with 1200's. U of chicago will depend on ur essays, if theyre really good, your chances od admission will be high. Good luck</p>
