Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Well, i already have a thread about my chances.. but just out of curiosity, i wanted to get some opinoins on individual elements that can dramatically help an applicant... So, How much do these things help in addition to good grades..SAT's, and other crap: </p>

<p>1) Captain and the top player of a varsity sport
2) Lot of Physics awards (my major will be physics)
3) Co-captain of Quiz Bowl team
4) A great recommendation from the Department head of Material Science and Physics at Rutgers University (definately!)
5) Another great recommedation from a college coach (most likely!)
6) Faculty level Material science research
7) Being published in a credited journal
8) Being asian >.<</p>

<p>I would say that 1, 2, and 6 will really help. Number 3 and 8 won't help in any way, and the recommendations will give a small boost.</p>

3

<p>haha, thank you very much
Wouldnt recommedations help relatively more since it is coming from a college professor?
and what about being published?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>come on guys, any more opinions?!?!</p>

5

<p>My teacher who was also an admissions officer at UCSD said that being on a quiz team/science bowl team/ect looks really good on your app, better than a varsity sport.</p>

6

<p>^For UCSD, but not for every school.</p>

<p>I'm wondering how 5 is at all relevent?</p>

7

<p>I dont know how or why 5 is relevant.. what I think is relevant isnt what you guys think.. lol, thats y i'm asking for your opnions!!!!! </p>

<p>Any comments will be appreciated</p>
