<p>Other:
-Great teacher recs:, person who got me involved in both scientific research (was my AP Bio teacher frosh year) and was moderator of key club. She adores me. Debate coach was also my AP Euro teach/Econ this year, he will rave. Counselor is a good friend
-Essays are relatively good to very good, finalizing them now, they are pretty 'me' and integrate some of my main activities with my pretty quirky personality/humor. But who knows. </p>

<p>Thanks for taking the time to read. Any input is appreciated. Thanks again and I hope your college apps process goes exxceellently!</p>

<p>I would say you're in everywhere except Yale (don't ask why, I don't know)... but those are some crazy stats and really good ECs.</p>

3

<p>bump... what do you think about stanford</p>

4

<p>bump.. a lot of views but no replies</p>

5

<p>i wouldn't be surprised if you got accepted to Stanford...</p>

6

<p>Why are you setting your expectations so low??? From my knowledge, Harvard takes nearly all national debaters that apply to their school, as long as they ahve decent stats, which you MOST DEFINITELY do.</p>

7

<p>Hmm... well harvard isn't my top choice (shocking I know).
I might apply there RD if I get rejected at Stanford just for the hell of it.
Any last thoughts before this thread dies?</p>

8

<p>I'll bump this thread one last time, just submitted my SCEA. My essays turned out really awesome in my opinion.
Anyways, if you have an opinion tell me before this thread disappears.</p>

9

<p>My opinion is that your chances are very slim. Better get on those AZ state apps!</p>

10

<p>Thanks for the encouragement, Ashveer. What did you think my chances were? 13% ;) Anyways, Arizona is so desperate for decent people that I haven't really had to and probably won't have to fill out apps (they have crazy recruitment, just ask you for a transcript basically). But that's kind of besides the point.</p>
