<p>scores are excellent! Solid EC’s, but how were your essays and recs? Imo, those are really important, and put you in context with other highly qualified applicants. </p>

<p>among HYP, Brown, JHU and WashU, i’ll be surprised if you don’t get into at least one.</p>

<p>btw, can I ask which suburb in chicago? I’m from there too.</p>

<p>My essays were the best I could do, so I’d say they’re about average. And I only saw a few of my recs but they were very complimentary :). </p>

<p>I’m from Arlington Heights. What about you??</p>

4

<p>I’m from Libertyville, so not far at all. :)</p>

<p>First thing that stick out is your impressive test scores, great extracurricular activites, rank, and GPA. If you wrote a great essay and received excellent teacher recs I’m sure you have as good of a chance at getting into any of those schools as do other extremely qualified applicants. That being said:</p>

<p>University of Rochester: not too familiar but ill say in
Johns Hopkins: in/match
Yale: as good of a chance as any well qualified applicant
Harvard: as good of a chance as any well qualified applicant
Princeton: as good of a chance as any well qualified applicant
Brown: as good of a chance as any well qualified applicant
Wash U: in/match</p>

<p>I think your chances are above average…your ECs could be better though</p>

<p>well damn i thought i was smart in that i will have completed calc 3 at my local university by graduation but you topped me with the DEs. thats something unique that i guarantee no one else will have. thats the niche im counting on and i think it will work for you. Better chance than most at those IVYs and definitely in at Rochester, JH and Wash U.
ps If youre so good at math, why dont you apply to MIT, but i guess Princeton has no. 1 math program in country so that’ll suffice.</p>

<p>plz chance me back at

<p>Yeah I didn’t apply to MIT or any super math/science oriented colleges because I wanted to be around more academically diverse people. I have a friend who goes to MIT; he loves it but it’s just not for me :)</p>

<p>You’re ECs are decent, but your scores are excellent.
I think you’ve got a great shot at all your schools.
Good Luck!</p>

<p>I think you’re in for all except HYP, just because those are so unpredictable. But you have definitely an amazing chance at HYP–just depends on the it factor, I guess.</p>

11

<p>Hahaha. You just want to show off! You’ll totally get in in most of the places you’ve applied to!
