Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>How much of a chance would I have if I applied?</p>

<p>Grades: Around a 95.5-96 unweighted, I get mostly A's with the occasional B</p>

<p>Courses: Our school had an acceleration program, so I took 9th-grade-level courses in 8th grade, and so forth. Almost all of the courses I take are honors or AP.</p>

<p>SATs: 2320
Math - 790
CR - 750
Writing - 780</p>

<p>SAT IIs:
Math Level 2 - 790
Physics - 800
Biology - 770</p>

<p>Senior Course Load:
AP English
AP Computer Science
AP Calc BC
AP Biology
Psychology H
Robotics and Automation H
Spanish H</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Math team, minor involvement
Varsity Crew Team, coxswain
-4th place in Scholastic Rowing Association Nationals, girls' Jr. 4+
-1st place at NYS Championships, girls' club 4+
-2nd place at NYS, girls' jr 4+
-3rd place at NYS, girls' 2nd varsity 4+ (I don't think this one counts, as I was rowing and not coxing)
-Also counts as leadership
-Around a 1000 hour/year commitment
Key Club, 9th grade, minimal involvement
National Honor Society
Spent time over the summer interning at a national laboratory</p>

<p>Volunteer work: 120ish hours, here and there, nothing special.</p>

<p>Demographics: Asian, female, upper-middle class, upstate NY</p>

<p>So, based on that, should I go for it, or save the $65ish?</p>

<p>Oh, one more thing:
Played violin since age of 5

-Participant in Empire State Repertory Orchestra</p>

<p>My friend's sister is an Asian girl with similar stats as you; I think she had more APs but no varsity sports or any other single significant EC. She got into Stanford.</p>

<p>How many APs does you school offer? Her school probably offered about 20? (I'm guessing) so if yours is lower, I think that's fine.</p>

<p>I would say good chances.</p>

4

<p>Our school offers 8 APs, the only one I have not/will not take is Music Theory.</p>

5

<p>Then I'd say go ahead and shoot off that $65 XD with a good app, I really think you'll make it.</p>

6

<p>OH RIGHT.</p>

<p>In terms of ECs, I also have Odyssey of the Mind.
-9th grade, made it to states
-10th grade, same
-11th grade, came in 4th at states</p>

<p>I better get my act together and remember all the stuff I've done before I start applying.</p>
