Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello all, </p>

<p>Just wondering if you can chance me for the schools I mentioned in the title, based on the following facts: </p>

<p>Tests:
- 4.0 GPA, valedictorian (1/341), maxed AP classes.
- 2350 SAT, 800 math, 800 writing, 750 reading. SAT II 2400.
- 34 ACT</p>

<p>EC's:
- Founded 2 companies, both active and both do upwards of $300K in yearly revenue.
- Attended tons of conferences in the fields of technology, business and entrepreneurship
- Interned for 3 summers at major tech companies in SV
- Served on the advisory board of 2 startups
- Took some college courses at a local university
- Won several science awards
- Wrote articles for the local newspaper on new business, entrepreneurship, technology and design.
- Developed a project that uses modern technologies (think internet + social media) and its effects to help those in need (third world countries).
- Some odd 100 hours of volunteering
- Founder of business club</p>

<p>Sports:
- Football, team captain for the past 3 years. Lead our team to 2 championships in those 3 years.
- Scuba diving
- Rowing, started last year, just for fun</p>

<p>As for foreign languages, I'm fluent in German, Spanish and Russian.
Can program in Ruby, Python and Java and am good with designing digital products.
When it comes to legacy, my father went to Harvard for grad school and undergrad. My mom finished her undergrad at Princeton. </p>

<p>Looking to apply for some kind of business/tech combination.
Any feedback is appreciated.</p>

<p>Considering both your parents attended either Harvard or Princeton, I’d say you have an edge in terms of being a legacy. Your academics are pristine and your ECs are excellent, especially since you founded two companies. Gaining acceptance into Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford is like betting on the lottery but I’d say you have a much better chance than others.</p>

<p>Yeah why go to college if you are making $600,000+ yearly from your businesses? You could invest more time in them. </p>

<p>Also, why not Wharton?</p>

<p>Thanks guys! I know I don’t need to go to college, but I feel that if I get the opportunity - which I do - I should take it for the experience alone. Luckily the businesses practically run themselves, otherwise the opportunity cost might be too big even if there’s no $600K/year left after Uncle Sam takes his share. </p>

<p>Wharton seems just a tad too business oriented. The communities at Harvard, Princeton, Stanford and CMU just suit me better.</p>

5

<p>How did you get a 2400 on the SAT II? The SAT II or the SAT subject tests only give scores out of 800.</p>

6

<p>If this is a real resume, you don’t even need college. You’ll be successful in life on your own.</p>

7

<p>^He got 800s on three different subject tests. </p>

<p>@Eunite: Well kudos man. They are reaches for all, but you have a pretty decent chance. More than most!</p>

<p>Wow, it’s amazing that you started two companies! Your transcript is awesome and i think you have a good chance at those schools C:</p>

<p>holy crap…</p>

<p>Well, I’ve just been blown away. This seems to be a recurring trend on this forum.</p>

<p>I say you get into at least one of Harvard, Princeton, or Stanford, and you will very likely get into CMU. Good luck, though, as other people said, I don’t see why you even need college! Clearly you’re already better suited for the real world than some students who graduate from these schools! Kudos to you, my friend!</p>

<p>Chance me back please? Thanks! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1527858-chance-me-harvard-yale-etc-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1527858-chance-me-harvard-yale-etc-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
