<p>I'm legally living in MD,US but I don't have green card and I'm not citizen.
I'm Korean.
Major in either math or physics(which one do you think I have more chance?)</p>
<p>gpa: u3.75-3.85/w4.0-4.2
SAT: cr720 m800 w740
SAT2: math2c790 japanese740 physics 770-800(took yesterday)
AP: Statistics,Physics B(Expecting 5 on both-But Physics can be 4.)
gonna take 3 APs(Cal BC, WH, Physics), 4 Honors(Chinese 3, English, CS 1, Chemistry)</p>
<p>The problem is that I have only one EC-math team.
I got a few prizes in math(4 or 5), but not very big.</p>
<p>gonna do about 30-80 hours of community service in summer.</p>
<p>Probably the recommendations would be not very great. Since I'm not friendly with any teachers.</p>
<p>One thing that can be hook is that I'll write a research paper about math.-Now very brilliant though.</p>
<p>Essays should be great-If I want to get in:).</p>
<p>1.I know these type of question is stupid but do I have a chance at least 10%(If you say less, perhaps I'm not gonna apply.)?
I'm so introvert that I could do no ECs.</p>
<p>2.I did track in 10th grade. Is this help slight a bit or hurt?</p>
<p>You should major in what you want to major in, not in what you think will give you the best chances for admission. Math and physics are two distinct majors.</p>
<p>I know.-Just I cant decide which one to do because I like both very much. So I'm gonna concentrate on both in freshman and sophomore year and then do one major from junior year.
That's why I asked which one is better in admission.</p>
<p>Unless you score perfect scores in the Math 2C, Physics, or Math section of the SAT, I don't see you getting in, quite honestly. Given your race, and given that math/physics will be your major, you need to find something else as a hook. Maybe try Intel, or study hard for AMC?</p>
<p>Perfect scores on SATs won't be enough.</p>
<p>Thanks. I made one mistake. </p>
<p>"Now very brilliant though"->"NOT very brilliant</p>
<p>lol car.</p>
<p>matwiz, you're right, it isn't enough. i think perfect scores, or "very-near" perfect scores on the math/physics sat, for a math major, is a prerequisite. </p>
<p>having perfect scores overall, though, does boost your chances, to around 40% i've heard. that is a substantial push over the regular admit rate of around 11%.</p>
