Chancing - Yale, Georgetown, Stanford, UChicago, Duke, MIT

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Yes, yes, your typical Asian applying to elite institutes. Albeit a slightly paranoid and insecure one when it comes to college.</p>

<p>SAT: 800M, 750R, 770W, Total: 2320
SAT II: 800 MathII, 770 USH, 760 Bio M
AP: 5 Calc BC, 5 Subscore AB, 5 APUSH, 5 Bio, 5 Chinese, 5 WHAP, 4 Psych :(, 4 English :(
(I misbubbled my Psych exam and discovered it as the proctor was picking up scantrons. Haha?)
GPA: 5.214 weighted 9/10th, 5.429 weighted 11th; no unweighted at my school</p>

<p>Courses (primarily A/B) --
Freshman: straight A; all honor courses, including precalc
Soph: straight A; 4 APs, 2 honors</p>

<p>After two innocent and jovial years, I changed schools! My new school runs on trimesters instead of semesters.</p>

<p>Junior: 8 A/A-, 7 B/B+; excluding one class, all classes have course code 400+, which translates to AP and college level, math courses included multivariable calculus and graph theory, science courses include physics b, medicinal chemistry, and research in biology</p>

<p>Grades haven't been released for senior year. I have straight As as of now but that could change; some of them are border As.
Senior: current courses include physics c, mathematical modeling (graduate level course), statistics, and some other courses whose course titles only have meaning in my school's lingo</p>

<p>And now onto extracurriculars.
- Speech and Debate President (20-25 hours a week; it's a huge time commitment)
- Debate Tourneys (I only started junior year, so some regional titles and breaks at national tournaments, haven't qualified to NFL nats or CFLs)
- Piano (used to practice 2 hrs/day, regional and state titles, no nat'l titles)
- Math (Duke Math Meet, AIME, AMC, etc, but not very high placements individually)
- Attache (leadership position in office of institutional advancement at my school, essentially the fundraising and alumni connections)
- Red Cross (volunteered over the summer)
- Student Gov't (budget committee, but no senator position in 11th/12th grade; in 9th grade, was freshman class president at old school)
- Track/XC (I was pretty fail at it; that's all I'll say)
- Internship at NIDA (this was the summer before 11th grade, 10 week paid internship)</p>

<p>I want to go into PoliSci and Law, which sort of explains my list of universities. I also have Chinese parents, which also sort of explains my list.</p>

<p>Edit: I keep on forgetting stuff. I'm applying to Yale EA and everywhere else regular.</p>
