Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi, I'm new to this website, and I really want to know where you guys think I'm going to get in since I'm pretty much freaking out at this point.</p>

<p>SAT:2130 (math-790, verbal-700, writing-640)
ACT:32
SATII: math 2-800, chemistry-730, physics-690
AP calc BC: 5
AP physics mech: 4
AP physics E&M: 5
IB french SL: 5
GPA: 4.86 I think?
rank: 6/430</p>

<p>I am a full IB diploma candidate and I am taking graduate level math at the University of Minnesota.</p>

<p>-I am a TA for calc 2 at the U of MN.
-I have a part-time job at Hollister.
-I tutor kids in math.
-I was in a youth symphony and played trumpet.
-National Honor Society Head of the Multicultural Festival
-Student Council for two years
-I went to a foundation for economics education seminar over the summer.
-Played badminton (JV) for four years
-Econ challenge team</p>

<p>I applied early action to University of Chicago. So, what do you think my chances are of getting into these schools?</p>

<p>University of Chicago
Stanford
Yale
Princeton
Duke
Columbia
Brown
UW-madison</p>

<p>Thank you so much for the help!</p>

<p>In at Madison and very good chance at Chicago. The others are all reaches unless you are a legacy or urm. What is your unweighted GPA?</p>

3

<p>My unweighted GPA is about 3.9...I've had two b's</p>

4

<p>You could be looking at serious aid/honors programs at Madison.</p>

5

<p>Thanks transfer and collegegrl. does anyone else have an opinion?</p>

6

<p>In at Wisconsin. Hard to predict the others, but I would say you're a solid candidate for them all. Brown is probably your best shot.</p>

7

<p>thanks for the responses! anyone else? </p>

<p>oh, and i also did a math project on wavelets over the summer with a professor at the u of mn</p>

8

<p>oh, and can anyone suggest any colleges between the levels of uchicago and madison in case i get deferred or don't get in at uchi?</p>

9

<p>you're taking classes at the u of MN? i live in minnesota too! what high school do you go to? and which professor did you work with over the summer? i was working with a prof. at the u of MN too!</p>

10

<p>i go to central, and i worked with fadil santosa. what high school do you go to?</p>

11

<p>Between Madison and UC is pretty tough. Madison is obviously a top public, but once you get past that, it's the elite privates (Georgetown, Northwestern, JHU, etc)... maybe USC? It's on the same level as Madison i'd say rep wise, but a different atmosphere, higher SAT averages... eh... So I see your problem. </p>

<p>What is your intended major?</p>

12

<p>i'm going to major in math and/or economics</p>

13

<p>Carnegie Mellon may be worth a look.</p>

14

<p>U michigan : match</p>

15

<p>......safety</p>

16

<p>thanks for the responses! i guess ill just have to see if i get into uchicago and then decide..i know thats cutting it close, but im pretty confident.</p>

17

<p>your in UW, all the rest are reaches...
Good luck!</p>

<p>Graduate level math?? That's actually pretty impressive. How'd you go about finish all of undergrad math in HS?</p>

19

<p>i was in this program called UMTYMP (university of minnesota talented youth mathematics program) so i finished my highschool math in 8th grade, finished single variable calc, multi variable calc, linear algebra and combinatorics by junior year. i am finishing point set topology this semester, which, at the u of mn is a graduate level course.</p>

<p>That's crazy. Michael Viscardi, who won Siemens Westinghouse this weekend, took calculus in 8th grade, and is right now in grad-level differential geometry at UCSD. The kid is a genius!!</p>
