<p>GPA- 4.5 W took all the hardest classes possible, all classes preap or AP. 6 APs senior year</p>
<p>Class Rank- 15 out of 613</p>
<p>SAT- 2100</p>
<p>ECs- 150 hours tutoring, Bible school counselor 150 hours, 4 years of basketball( 1 year letter) Internship at Samsung once a week for 2 years, NHS, much more but I'm not sure what....</p>
<p>Does he have a chance at Ivies?</p>
<p>could he get in?</p>
<p>Assuming he’s white or Asian, he might have a shot at some schools at Cornell but would probably need to raise the SAT for the others.</p>
<p>I dont know, but he can get into some Big East and SEC schools.</p>
<p>I’d say he definitely has a legitimate shot at all the Ivies with the exception of the best (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn Wharton). They could even be match schools if he brought his SAT’s up a bit.</p>
<p>can he get into rice?</p>
<p>Probably, but it’s a much better strategy for him to just apply and wait to see what happens in April.</p>
<p>HYPSM + Lower Ivies are never matches, TPL. With an acceptance rate of <20%, admissions is a game that is very hard to play.</p>
<p>Yeah, but statistical matches not so much he’ll definitely get in.</p>
<p>probably???</p>
<p>Once a week internship? The hell? What can you possibly accomplish?</p>
<p>This person is in the zone for highly selective schools. For the very most selective, the SAT is a little low, unless the person has some “hook” (i.e., is a minority, legacy, recruitable athlete, etc.). If he’s a junior now, and is interested in very selective schools, he should probably take the SAT again.</p>
<p>The internship lasts around 4-5 hours every time, so i think in a span of two years maybe he could accomplish something</p>
<p>What sort of internship gives you 5 hours of work a week for 2 years? Sounds like his parents/relatives gave him a resume padder where he serves coffee. I’ve never seen anybody accomplish anything significant in a workplace without spending several times a week on a project. What sort of project manager would have a person come in on a once-a-week basis and contribute to any meaningful degree? Unless this is some sort of independent project, but once a week does not demonstrate any passion on his part.</p>
<p>OP - Could your friend get in with those stats? Of course it’s possible. Just keep in mind that Harvard REJECTS 85% of applicants who have BETTER stats than your friend. Was the internship with the President of Samsung? Could he write your friend a Letter of Recommendation?</p>
<p>Lol, NewHope. I guess he has a chance, but it’s really his concern, not yours/ours.</p>
<p>^ OK, you caught me. I guess I’ve been reading too many questions like “Am I an URM if I live at the end of a dead end road?”</p>
<p>It’s certainly possible he could get in, and it is very possible he could get rejected. You never know the iveys - it’s just a big crapshoot for most people.</p>
<p>Could he? Maybe. Will he? Probably not. His SAT is consistent with class rank as both are ~ top 4%.</p>
