<p>Ok guys I applied to Harvard, Yale, and Columbia...tell me I am not doomed. I am so worried. Heres an overview: Graduated high school at age 13 ranked 2 out of 1945 (this will screw me over). Went to a top ranked high school in the US. After that I got two bachelors degrees at my local university: in quantum mechanics, and in Biological theory. I wrote a book on the socio-economic problems in Ethiopia and how we should fix it: it was nominated but didn't win a pulitzer (they will not be pleased when they see i didnt get it!) I am fluent in German French Italian and English. I took a year to travel Europe. Now I am home and I am applying to these schools (I really regret taking that year off it will probably screw me over, but at least I wrote a descent essay on my experiences.My test scores ACT:36 SAT:1600 AP comp. gov.:5 Ap US GOV:5 AP bio:5 AP chem:5 AP eng. lit.:5 Ap Eng. Lang.:5 Ap psych.:5 AP US hist.:5 AP euro. Hist.:5 AP german:5 AP music th.:4 (this is what is going to screw me in the admissions process) AP micro. Econ:5 Ap macro.Econ:5. I know I am just average for the most part for kids who apply to the ivies, but, someone help me out here tell me what else I can do before time runs out! (Oh and I don't know if this will help or hurt but i didn't take math in high school because I got a 102% in Calculus in 8th grade. But I did do a lot of math when i was going for my Bachelors in quantum mechanins. Btw, I got a 4.0 in both my bachelors degrees so that might help a little.</p>
<p>I'd say reach at best. Probably major reach. You should probably cure cancer if you want them to be more like match schools. Make sure to have a few safeties. You are also not a recruited athlete or legacy so that will hurt.</p>
<p>And you're not valedictorian? Waste of bandwidth...</p>
<p>I think you have a great shot HYPS etc. Apply and hope for the best. But you seemto be smarter than most of the IVY league profs, why go there at all? You can easily go to a State Univ, get a college degree just for the sake of a degree and then get a job. Give other kids a chance to go to a prestigious school because they need that brand name benefit.</p>
<p>Instant reject -- clearly your 1600 is on the old SAT. :)</p>
<p>Obvious reject...why even bother posting?</p>
<p>Collegebound2007. I'm not sensing it from the post but I hope that was all sarcastic.</p>
<p>the reason I took the old SAT is because I took it a few years ago when I was still in highschool. I took it my senior year when i was 13. Do you reccomend I take the new one? Also am I misunderstanding or are you guys saying I should not try because I don't have a very good chance? Fill me in. THanks! O and also I was not a valedictorian because my high school did not give out titles. The person who ranked first was a real senior (meaning 18, so even though we had the same grade, He got the higher rank, yea i know ***!) Oh and forgot to mention earlier I knew i would need to look good in athletics, I couldn't join any school teams because I had already graduated, so I joined our local soccer team. We are pretty good and I was team captain before I went on travel. During my time with them we went to international competitions but lost to a team from Australia first round.</p>
<p>To me it seems like you have a decent shot. Good Luck :)</p>
<p>Dude unless u belong to a URM...... u might as well forget about it.
Consider some safeties... possibly your local community college?</p>
<p>Here are your reach schools:</p>
<p>community colleges</p>
<p>State college (ultra reach)</p>
<p>Good match:
None</p>
<p>Safeties:
None</p>
<p>This is obviously a complete joke.</p>
<p>If I were you I'd have Grandpa endow a new library or build a fusion reactor or something. Then you'd have at least a 50-50 shot.</p>
<p>He's obviously trolling...</p>
<p>maybe if you are URM, cured cancer and AIDS, donated 9999999999 billion dollars, and was president of a country, legacy AND first generation, and don't forget being in the NFL AND the NBA, then you MIGHT have a chance...</p>
<p>OK guys it was worth a laugh. I hope you guys had as much fun as I did. I sorry I just couldn't resist after I read some of the "chance" questions in the admissions area. It was worth a laugh, thanks guys! PS i also wanted to see if anyone would freakout. i.e.--- Are you serious, omg s t f u if you think your bad you will think Im worm food. ahahahaha anyways thanx guys!
:) :)</p>
<p>yeah...unless you successfully land a roundhouse kick upon the cleft of chuck norris himself, i'd start practicing, "Do you want fries with that?"</p>
<p>funny.......</p>
