</p>

<p>What does this really mean?</p>

<p>Are you saying that your primary objective (and metric of success) is ‘being famous’? Essentially, you’re passionate about acquiring fame?</p>

3

<p>As stupid as it may sound, I just want to get my name out there. @Bemusedfyz </p>

4

<p>What are your APs? Some of them are better and worth more than others, i.e. AP Physics C > AP Chemistry and Calc BC > AP Stat</p>

<p>@khantimmy17 I honestly you have a good chance with Stanford. You have excellent EC and your academics are on point as well. There’s no value in being smart unless you have the work ethnic. You deserve such an outstanding profile that you have now. You never know unless you give yourself a chance. I say go for it! Good luck :smile: </p>

<p>@mathematical I took: AP Euro, APUSH, AP Enviornmental, AP Psych (community college class), AP Calc AB,
AP Spanish 5, AP Computer Science A, AP Comp Gov</p>

<p>Alright, best of luck. I won’t judge, but colleges might. I suggest that, when ‘packaging’ your ECs, you omit the ‘fame’ motive. Colleges such as Stanford are looking for trailblazers-- that may indeed link to fame, but stating that as your aim may well be ‘putting the cart before the horse’, so to speak.</p>

<p>Obviously, I don’t know you. If you have some good reason for wanting fame (that stems a little deeper than ‘I want to be famous’), then there may be a way to spin it, make it compelling.</p>

<p>Demographics?
Assuming Asian male, reach
White/ME male: low reach
(You come off sounding like one of these lol).
ECs are really good, although not out of this world, but your gpa is rather weak (maybe your school is very hard? What’s your class rank and how does your school do at getting kids into Stanford et. Al). Your test scores are okay.
I think I might know which HS you go to ( American high? My 2nd cousin went there).
If it is that school, then Stanford may be even less of a reach than I said. Good luck.
I’m also interested in Stanford (REA). What do you think of my shot?</p>

<p>I’m Middle-Eastern (Male)</p>

<p>I like the title 8-| :smiley: </p>

11

<p>You’ve posted several times, haven’t you gotten your fame yet?</p>

12

<p>Is this sarcasm? @aunt bea </p>

13

<p>Answer: sure. </p>

14

<p>i think colleges count that the same as white. what do you think of my shot? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1665423-downwards-trend-poor-class-rank-high-aspirations-will-chance-back.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1665423-downwards-trend-poor-class-rank-high-aspirations-will-chance-back.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
