<p>wow...idn witht his one...im thinking big reach because your sat scores are really really really low .... i dont even think your urm and legace and recruit could make up for the sat scores although i coiuld be wrong</p>

<p>ur 26 ACT may get you in, since thats around a 1200, but if your SAT was close to a 1250, ud def be in. look, if ur parents r gonna donate 5 million or more, then forget it, ur def in.</p>

<p>5 million... dollars... wow</p>

<hr>

<p>What are my chances for the Langsdorf fellowship in Engineering if I have:</p>

<p>3.95 UW GPA and top 10% of class,
SAT: 2280
SAT II: MATH II 800, Physics 800
ACT: 33</p>

<p>I have taken AP Physics B my Junior year and got an average of 99% (A+) in the class in a pretty competitive public high school.
I also scored a 5 on the test.
I am also an AP Scholar with Distinction.</p>

<p>I have no research experience.</p>

<p>I will also take the AP Physics C exam this year without taking the course because my school does not offer it.
Also, so far, I have a 98% in Calculus BC in my first quarter of Senior year.
Also, I am a NMSF, and my physics teacher will do one of the recs for me.</p>

<p>Major ECs:
Started a Tutoring Club
Teach Sunday School
BAYSO (regional orchestra)
Tennis (JV)
School Orchestra
Tutored (Math for a summer).
Also received Bausch and Lomb award.</p>

<p>What do you think my chances are? "</p>

<p>I know, I know, I was only playing around with this post!</p>

11

<p>lmao maybe we should all just stop with the fake threads...there are too many on here.</p>

12

<p>why did this thread suddenly move? who moved it?</p>

13

<p>huh? what do you mean it moved?</p>

14

<p>Well with your hypothetical I don't think that'd be in for Harvard either.</p>

15

<p>i'd sue if that hypothetical got into harvard</p>

16

<p>AffirmitiveAct. for you.</p>

17

<p>to hell with AA</p>

18

<p>well, the hypothetical not only has URM, also legacy, Recruit, and developmental admit status. Note that he also applied early. The averages chances of such an applicant at HYPS is probably, I would guess, at least 90%. But the stats (GPA and SATs) are just too low... so it is probably a hard dilemma for HYPS. (BTW, there are probably people like this out there).</p>

<p>still...to hell with AA</p>
