<p>Thanks for the reply, as for HYPS and MIT, what do you think I need to improve most in order to improve my chances? Thanks!</p>

<p>Hey Code just out of curiosity which school did you go to?</p>

5

<p>If you mean high school, then that's the International School of Choueifat :)</p>

6

<p>aha cool! i used to go to an international school as well!</p>

<p>Code--You are clearly extraordinarily bright. If you maintain your high school record over the next year, you could possibly get into any of them. However, schools like Harvard (etc.) now accept less than 8% of applicants, which means 92% of the really smart, accomplished students who apply are either denied or waitlisted. Depending on what you'd like to major in, why don't you also look into somewhat less selective (in the 20-40% range) schools, like Carleton, Grinnell, Vassar, Pomona (actually, about 18% last year), Emory, Davidson, Washington and Lee, etc. ... If money is an issue, College of Wooster (in Ohio), is very strong in the sciences, especially chemistry, and would probably award you a HUGE amount of money to attend. (I have a daughter there, who loves it.) Wooster has one of the highest rates of graduates who go on to earn PhD's in the sciences. All that I've mentioned are smaller liberal arts colleges, so if you're not interested in that, just ignore what I've written! Good luck!</p>

<p><em>Cough</em> this was from 1 year ago... <em>cough</em></p>

<p>That post was from last year :D</p>

<p>I already got into and registered at Tufts - good enough for me!</p>

<p>Got rejected from Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and MIT though.</p>

<p>As for updates about my profile, my SAT II scores were 800 Maths Level II, 800 Chemistry, and 770 Chemistry.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone else :)</p>

<p>Ahh! Didn't notice the original post date! Well, just ignore everything I wrote, and congratulations on getting into a great school.</p>

11

<p>Hahha that's cool Code. I went to Choueifat myself!</p>

12

<p>I go to Choueifat too</p>

<p>Cool - which Choueifat do you go to?</p>
