<p>Can you chance me for Yale SCEA?
and also for
Northwestern
Wash. U in St. Louis
U of Chicago
Brown
Columbia
Cornell
Carleton
UNC-Chapel Hill
NYU
Purdue</p>

<p>I think my advantages are the fact that I am from a very rural area in Nebraska, and that I am Asian but not interested in math or science fields. I want to pursue journalism or business. I am also involved in drama and speech. Basically, I'm not one of the math and science type asians. Does this help my chances? Sorry if this is a long post...please reply!</p>

2

<p>business also has a lot of asians, but not journalism!</p>

3

<p>not being a science or math asian definitely helps. It sets you apart immediately, but all the asians at my school do journalism, including me. T.T We have about 300+ journalism students in 7 different publications.</p>

4

<p>Asians in Business is becoming a stereotype.........</p>

5

<p>ok but right now i am leaning more toward journalism</p>

<p>can you guys chance me for these colleges??</p>

<p>Northwestern - yes
Wash. U in St. Louis - yes
U of Chicago - yes
Brown - high reach
Columbia - no
Cornell - low reach

<p>Columbia journalism is like...the wind. Unless you're perfect, you're in the wind XD I don't have much insight into LAC, so sorry. </p>

<p>I bet your in at Yale, western NE doesn't have many applicants so that will make you stand out</p>

9

<p>what about my SCEA to Yale? do you think its reaching a bit?
yeah i agree with hmb90 western NE doesn't have many applicants to the ivy leagues...and being one of 2 National Semifinalists...i think i mite have a chance at Yale
what do you guys think?? Am i dreaming too much?</p>

10

<p>bump..........?</p>

11

<p>I'd say Yale's most likely scenario would be deferred, then waitlisted, then you would be at the top of the list, then 50/50 in/rejected.</p>

12

<p>thanks for your chances!</p>

<p>can anyone chance me for Yale and my other colleges? please?</p>

<p>Hogwarts: High Reach (Not magical)</p>

17

<p>Looking at your courseload, it looks more geared towards math/sci... BUT! your EC's are very not math/sci. Haha, would that indicate a well roundedness? Perhaps? I think that miami journalism thing you did sounds really awesomee</p>

<p>Yale SCEA- i say, possible!
Northwestern- match
U of Chicago- high match/low reach
Brown- reach
Columbia- low reach/ reach
Cornell- high match
UNC-Chapel Hill- in
NYU- in
Purdue- overqualified?</p>

<p>please chance me too :)</p>

18

<p>the hardest classes available in our coarseload are mostly math and science classes...so thats what i took. I finished all my math classes available my junior year...so i dont have any math senior year.</p>

<p>The miami journalism thing was an amazing experience...we got to talk with top professionals from CNN, CBS, Wall Street Journal, Ect.</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

19

<p>i think you have a pretty good chance at SCEA!</p>

20

<p>Wow... you have good ECs. I'd say a decent chance to get into at least one of your reaches. </p>

<p>Rejected at Hogwarts. Missed automatic application date at 11 years old.</p>
