Final chances thread...because I'm bored and have nothing better to do today

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I live in NY, no URM/ORM of any sort to my knowledge...</p>

<p>GPA: 3.7/4.0 UW (don't know yet, but here a 97 - 100 is a 4.0 and a 93 - 96 is a 3.7...go figure) and although my school doesn't dish out ranks (or at least they haven't done so for us yet), I am probably ranked 1 out of 140.</p>

<p>SAT I: Math - 800, Writing - 780 (72/12), CR - 770</p>

<p>SAT II: Chemistry (790), Physics (800/didn't take any course for intro physics), Math 2 (800), USH (770)</p>

<p>Courseload by year:</p>

<p>freshman:
English 9 H

<p>ECs:
Sports: XC, Spring track - I completely phailed this year in both activities, so I doubt there's a chance for any type of hook attached to doing these sports from 10th to the present</p>

<p>Science Research: 200 hours last summer in the Science Research Training Program - My project involved cloning a membrane protein in a tick-transmitted parasite known as Babesia divergens. I'm doing another 350 hours or so this summer at the NYMC, it's about understanding scoliosis through rat models.</p>

<p>Miscellaneous: Ever since I got into writing fanfiction over the winter, I've become more and more keen on writing a book...which I'm currently doing right now. I don't expect to finish it until the end of summer, and I don't expect to get it published before the end of the year, if at all, but it's something I have been dedicating alot of time into.</p>

<p>Well, sorry that's so long, but here's my limited list of hopefuls:</p>

<p>MIT (EA)
Princeton
Columbia
Harvard
Johns Hopkins (maybe)
Georgetown</p>

<p>Flame me for making this thread, if you wish, I'm not in the mood to argue with you if I'm "in the wrong" =/</p>

2

<p>In everywhere.</p>

3

<p>lol come on dude, don't be an a$$ (if that was your goal)...I sprained my knee yesterday and cant do anything fun for at least two weeks :(</p>

4

<p>I was serious..</p>

5

<p>Oh ok, my fault then.</p>

6

<p>MIT (EA) REACH
Princeton REACH
Columbia LOW REACH
Harvard REACH
Johns Hopkins (maybe) MATCH
Georgetown MATCH</p>

7

<p>I think that because you were only a semi-finalist in the USNCO, that you probably won't get in anywhere. Sorry. You probably should have worked harder on becoming a finalist.</p>

8

<p>^LOL!!! Shravas that made my day.</p>

9

<p>You will be rejected everywhere........get some safties.</p>

10

<p>well I cant beat that logic</p>

11

<p>You took Mult. Calculus/Diff. Equations/ and linear algebra all at once?? Don't they all like build on each other or something. Like i thought Mult. Calc. and Lin. alg. were prereqs for diff. equations?</p>

12

<p>You're in the running with your stats, now luck takes over.</p>

13

<p>No, I tried that, but I decided to just do MVC then diff eq then La, Im on diff eq right now.</p>

14

<p>u give me hope</p>

15

<p>5 months are enough to do MVC/Diff. e/ and LA?? Dang! Where are u taking the courses?</p>

16

<p>online...through Johns Hopkins Distance Ed lol</p>

17

<p>damn, u got a lot of math under ur belt after this summer. u better make westchester-putnam a team for nysml so we can kick some serious nyc a**. i hope u realize who i am haha.</p>

18

<p>good chances everywhere</p>

<p>just curious, score on AIME?</p>

19

<p>Albert: A-men to that, haha.</p>

<p>well, in 2006 I brought AMC to my phailure excuse for a school...so I got obliterated on the AIME (no idea what i got, never found out)...next year I choked on teh AMC 12 and barely scraped through with a 100.5...pretty sure I got 4 or 5 on the AIME this past year...Ill have to look it up though.</p>

<p>So no USAMO for me = not a great math problem solver...yet (lol yeah surely that's it...)</p>

<p>Well since these forums are active now I might as well bump for kicks =/</p>
