Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Alright, after college apps and all that is over, I'm prolly not gonna come back to this site very often...
So I want to make a final chance thread right now before I apply, and see how accurate people are. I'm applying to 15 schools -__-</p>

<p>Academics: 2290 SAT, 34 ACT, 800 Math IIC, 750 World History, 720 Bio (retaking in October), Rank 1 out of 500, 4.0 GPA, National AP Scholar (5,5,5,5,5,5,4,4,3), NMSF</p>

<p>Math/Science: Went to SSP Ojai 2009, COSMOS 2007, doing 2 research projects: one in theoretical math, one in particle physics, will submit to Siemens/Intel, President of Math Club (4 years), Robotics Club, JETS Team National Finalists, AMC 12 school winner, AIME Qualifier, took Multivariable, Linear Algebra, College Physics, will take Differential Eq, College Bio w/lab</p>

<p>Activities: Hospital volunteer (400 hours) + Shift Leader, Student government Member (2 years) + Representative for School District Board, Captain of Varsity XC/Track (4 years)</p>

<p>Other: Asian/Californian =[ low-income, Questbridge Scholar, will apply to QB Match.<br>
Counselor rec: average...
Teacher recs: one from math professor, one from english teacher, additional one from summer program professor (should be pretty good..I hope)</p>

<p>Essays: Will write about summer program, family situation, and leadership (maybe?) </p>

<p>Chance me for...Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Yale, Harvard, Caltech, Dartmouth, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, Williams, Rice, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD. Thanks!!!</p>

<p>Princeton: Mid reach
Stanford: Low-reach ( I think you stand a much better chance here as a Cali res.)
MIT: Mid Reach
Harvard: Mid/High reach
Caltech: High reach (impossible to predict)
Dartmouth: Low reach
Cornell: Low reach
Columbia: Low/mid reach
Brown: low reach
Williams: High match/Low reach
Rice: high Match
UCB: Match/in
UCLA: Match/in
UCSD: Match/safety</p>

<p>You have great stats, imho, though you might want to consider taking a different SAT II, as the bio score would be perfectly respectable as a 4th SAT II, next to (theoretically) 2 800s and the 750 World. Kudos for those math classes as well…I have enough trouble with Calc as it is, lol. The major reason I listed HYPSM as mid/high reaches is primarily due to your ethnicity, as any Asian is at a disadvantage relative to his/her fellow applicants. Stand out in your essays and I think you are golden. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Lol low-reach for Stanford? Getting into Stanford would be like heaven for me.</p>
