Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I know all are reaches, but can I get maybe a little reassurance lol:</p>

<p>White Male Student from Las Vegas, NV</p>

<p>GPA - UW: 4.0 W: 4.8
Class Rank : 1/730 (cut off is 4.8 GPA) (Average school ACT is 27)</p>

<p>SAT II: Chemistry-670, MathIIC-710 (Might retake), USHist - 790
ACT: 33 (retaking in Oct, hoping for a 34+, but I am pretty satisfied with my 33)
SAT: 680 CR- 750 M - 770 W = 2200</p>

<p>EC / Awards:
DECA: VP (Soph and Junior), President Senior
NHS: 3 year member, Senior President
FBLA: 2 year member (Vice President Senior Year)
Basketball : 4 years, Varsity 2 years, Captain Senior Year
Science Club, Member for 2 years
NJHS, can't remember other middle school stuff, probably does not matter anyway
NHS President's Award and Outstanding Service in My Community Award</p>

<p>Rotary Youth Leadership Awards
Nevada Boys' State Delegate
AP Scholar
Captain Varsity Basketball Team (May be recruited by a couple of those Ivies, have talked, depends on how well my season goes)</p>

<p>Last Year I was in 4 AP classes: Language and Comp (3), Calc BC (2 year), Chem (4), and APUSHIST (5), the rest of my classes are honors and required classes
This year: 5 AP Euro Hist, Lit, Govt, Physics, and Calc (plus student aide is my sixth class, hey I need a break too)
Only 3 years of Spanish</p>

<p>So chances at those five schools listed above, and if you want to chance me for USC trustee scholarship that too</p>

2

<p>if you're recruited for bball, you might hold a chance at wharton or perhaps stanford.</p>

<p>HYP = big reaches. SAT/SATII not high enough.</p>

3

<p>i thought his SAT Is are fine</p>

4

<p>Disagree with previous poster: HYP are MODERATE reaches... SATs are on the low end of normal/acceptable for Ivies (even HYP)... low, but far from ridiculous</p>

<p>class rank, athletics & rotary award are a very nice package</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

5

<p>bump it up</p>

6

<p>reach reach reach reach reach...what can i say?</p>

7

<p>when is an ivy league school not a reach?</p>

8

<p>When you are a first team All-American athlete and an IMO gold medalist and a Siemens Finalist. Then maybe a couple of the Ivy Leagues could be safeties :D</p>

9

<p>If you donate 50 billion bucks to HYP those are your safeties</p>

10

<p>haha if i had 50 billion then I wouldn't bother going to college... lol...</p>

11

<p>Wharton is the school of business for Upenn I thought, the graduate school. You're going to be an undergrad lol.</p>

12

<p>You have good stats and definitely have a chance at each of them, but you never know with ivies and stanford. That being said, they are all reaches for you. Good Luck!</p>

13

<p>They have high schools in Las Vegas??? Oh.</p>

<p>Anyway chances are good you'll get into at least one of them. Better still if you are recruited.</p>

14

<p>to calculus; i thought you were smart considering you have a math subject as your name. Wharton is for undergraduates, you apply directly to Wharton from high school</p>

15

<p>Less than 20% at each of them, gives you almost 100% to get into one.</p>

16

<p>if he has a 1 in 5 chance of getting into each school, then he actually has a 1-(.8)^5 chance of getting into at least 1, or 67% chance.</p>

17

<p>raise ur score to 34 and i think u will have a shot at at least 1 of those</p>
