<p>I am a Wesleyan High School Scholar. Every other day I leave school and take “Principles of Chemistry I” there. I was accepted again for next semester, and I am taking “Principles of Chemistry II” next semester. I finished the course with one of the higher grades in the class with an A-/A. I am hoping they consider this because obviously Wesleyan is one of the best schools in the country, and it proves that I can succeed.</p>

<p>~40 hours of community service (probably the killer here)</p>

<p>BC is my dream school but I don’t think I have a great chance of getting in. After looking at some of EA acceptance threads it seems I my stats are relatively close. Most people accepted EA had much better ECs but for those non-honors people, my SATs were slighly above average. I think my SAT are slightly above average from last year as well. I’m hoping the guy at the info session was being serious when he said that adcoms are more strict during EA than RD. So anways, can you please be brutally honest with me?</p>

<p>Also since I was accepted into EA at Villanova I feel my main essay is somewhat decent because my other essay for Nova was atrocious and was just basically a critique of the book 1984 and nothing at all personal.</p>

<p>I really like your chances</p>

4

<p>You were person of the year in 2006 too? Funny, I didn't see you at the photo shoot...</p>

5

<p>Really? That's funny I am looking at the cover of it and my face is staring back.</p>

6

<p>Why would you put that on there? I'm assuming just to be funny. But I'm failing to see the humor in it.</p>

<p>"Time Magazine's 2006 Person of the Year (I didn't put this down but I should have)" -lmfaooooo</p>

<p>I applied with a 2010 on my SAT and got deferred. I'm an international student with great ECs, grades and recommendations. Applying from Singapore without any kind of financial aid.</p>

<p>I think you have a chance.</p>

<p>I subscribe to Time and I just got that. If you ha really put that down I would have died, but the adcom people at schools like Tufts and such probably would have liked that.</p>

9

<p>I did EA and got in with 2020 SATs and 3.9 GPA (no honors, though). I took classes at Cal and you have better ECs than me, so I think you have a good chance.</p>

<p>Ahh, you are witty! I hope you get in,.. goodluck</p>
