I'm applying to Yale tomorrow...so CHANCE ME!

<p>Yale SCEA - Deferred/Waitlist/Reject
Princeton - Reject
Cornell CAS - Accept
Northwestern - Accept
Georgetown SFS - Reject (this program is really competitive and you haven't done anything that is relevant to it)
Duke - Borderline Reject
Bowdoin - Accept
Virginia Arts & Sciences - Accept
Wisconsin (Arts and Sciences) - Accept
Rutgers (in state safety) - Full Tuition/Room/Board</p>

<p>Your ECs pretty much shoot your chances at Yale/Princeton (if their acceptances were purely stats-based, they'd have way too many of them)...Cornell doesn't really care as much and the rest (aside from SFS) are probably going to value your high stats. It's a real shame that you won't make P-ton or Yale, but that's just the nature of the system. You should have considered applying to Cambridge which is purely stats-based admissions lol.</p>

<p>Wow. You seem pretty confident with that assertion, nj<em>azn</em>premed. Surely I can make up for it w/ recs, essays, scores, explanation of mediocre frosh/soph grades, some leadership (the fundraiser)...so that I at least have a shot?</p>

<p>Or am I delusional?</p>

<p>And my primary EC is my job. I spend LOTS of time there and it has really helped me grow as a person and I'm really passionate about my job. So doesn't that count for something?</p>

<p>Actually, should I explain this to the schools that on their Common Data Sets say they don't consider work experience (which is stupid, most jobs are WAY more demanding than stupid lightweight community service)</p>

<p>All that I can say is that if I were the admissions officer I'd have a hard time finding reasons to reject you :)</p>

<p>Wow, great stats. I'd say you have a good shot at getting in, which is something you something you should be proud of because if you don't get into Yale, you're in at almost any other Ivy (except for Princeton and Harvard, one could never be sure about those).</p>
