<p>18 year old white male, senior
Public high school, well ranked for the state (Massachusetts) (Five out of the six people applying early to Ivy leagues and stanford got in)
Rich white town</p>

<p>Want to major in Business.</p>

<p>Schools</p>

<p>Weighted GPA (Out of 4.5) After Junior Year: 3.81 After this semester 3.92 probably</p>

<p>Got all A's and A-'s this quarter and have gotten better grades every semester since freshmen year (started out with like a 2.99 unweighted)</p>

<p>Rank:
School doesn't rank, just groups in a histogram, but between top 4% and top 17% so will probably end up around 11%</p>

<p>Took the hardest courses available except for A1 instead of Honors English in Sophomore and Junior year. Other than that all Honors and AP. Taking 4 AP's this year.</p>

<p>SAT I – 2170 total, 1450/1600

<p>EC's
Started my own Internet business, employ 10-15 people lots of revenue. 20 hours a week and basically what I wrote a lot of my essays about.
Started an Internet Article Writing company to advertise for companies.
Did Track for two years and Tennis
Sailed skiied and snowboarded since childhood
Lots of fundraisers with playing the Irish fiddle (have played since the age of 6)
Various clubs and activities like Collegebowl and foreign language club</p>

<p>Employment
Worked for 2 years in retail
Catering
Then obviously my Internet companies that I created.</p>

<p>Awards
Honor Roll and high honors
Science fair at school level</p>

<p>Essays were all very good emphasize my entrepreneurship and leadership, hiring employees and working with companies online</p>

<p>I have already gotten accepted into Fordham and Villanova. UNC starts notifying on the 15th... they only accept 17% out of state, so my chances are low for that regardless of how good I am. Other than that do I have a chance at the other schools? My GPA seems low and it is, but it has constantly improved and is mostly due to my freshmen year when I got all B's and B-'s. Without that I'd be in the top 4%. Also I live in a rich white town but my dad lost his job in my freshmen year, and I have a lot of cultural experience being half Irish, so I had a lot to write about to show that I'm not just another rich spoiled white kid with no concept of the world.
What are my chances for the eight schools I have left to hear from? Thanks!</p>

<p>Anymore? Will chance back!</p>

<p>I have thesame problem too. My sophmore grades weren’t soo great. I’m afraid that Upenn may not be so forgiving, but with those ecs and a 4.5 GPA you’ll make it to the tufts and the other colleges.</p>

<p>Dude same problem here! I go to a tough school, didn’t try freshman and sophomore year, and junior year (this year for me) I decided to try. My SAT I is a little lower then yours, but I think you have a good shot at all those schools, except maybe Penn. Starting your own business and all your other ECs help as well. Plus, schools like to see improvement, which you have done over your 4 years.</p>

<p>I’m not applying to tufts… and I don’t have a 4.5…</p>

7

<p>Thanks for the encouragement!</p>

<p>I know Penn’s a huge reach…</p>

<p>What about Cornell NYU Stern and Notre Dame? They all seem to be kinda on the same level of difficulty. NYU itself I could definitly get into but the Stern school of business is way stricter. Anyone else think this?</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing me!
I think you have a great chance at all of those schools. My brother goes to UPenn and he got in with a little bit better GPA but about the same SAT scores. I think it is a reach but nothing to panic about. But you should be fine for all of those colleges
Good Luck!</p>

<p>hmmm yo uhave a good shot given EC’s/ good luck but hard to say what will happen in the end…thanks for the chance by the way! scores are decent, i woudl say its a good shot at all given ur ec’s</p>
