<p>deferred from Stanford, tough dude.</p>

<p>UCs definitely; UPenn likes that Math II 800 +1 there.</p>

<p>Everything else is a crapshoot.
You will probably get into Columbia</p>

3

<p>***, 2400 on SAT 1, 2400 on SAT 2, valedict, good recs, ecs, awards, deferred from Stanford????</p>

<p>anyways u got really good shots everywhere. You're IN for UC's</p>

4

<p>I can't believe that Stanford deferred you. You definitely have great chances at any college.</p>

5

<p>More California Asians apply to Stanford than the other top schools...Your chances are better for the Eastern schools.</p>

6

<p>HYP: Match
UPenn Wharton: Match</p>

<p>2400 + Valedictorian is statistically a match, and since you have good other stuff along with those, I think you'll do just fine.</p>

7

<p>thanks for the responses so far... bump? ^^</p>

8

<p>What the hell is Go?</p>

<p>Ivies are unpredictable </p>

<p>In at the UC's</p>

<p>Stanford ... maybe</p>

<p>MIT ... doubt it</p>

9

<p>Go</a> (board game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>

10

<p>maybe not MIT but everything else
oh and some guy in my school got into stanford, with no ECs, probably top 10% (maybe), and 2300</p>

11

<p>is there something about me that makes me less favorable for MIT?</p>

12

<p>no international math/physics awards maybe?
haha jk. but being an asian male is gonna hurt you a lot...it brings your chances down to like 1%</p>

13

<p>umm... its really hard to say..... nowadays when Ivys look at an applicant with perfect SATs and 4.0 UNWEIGHTED, theyll be thinking, WT* heres another ASIAN kid who did nothing but study his entire high school years, one reason i stopped the SATs after getting a 2280....</p>

<p>everyone of my friends with ur stats didnt get their choice schools..........</p>

<p>but ur ECs should probably help balance it out, if what u wrote is true.......</p>

<p>and yea, like me, being an asian doesnt help at all, it even lowers ur chances......</p>

14

<p>Great Stats. Stanford is rediculous.</p>

15

<p>i took special care in my essays to emphasize the social/human aspect to me... i made it a priority to show balance in my application</p>

16

<p>In for UCs. No gurantee on the Ivies no matter how good you are, but you have a great chance.</p>

17

<p>I'll never understand the folks who still need chances after application submissions........</p>

18

<p>I'll cry if you're not accepted because that just proves the sad, sad reality we live in.</p>

19

<p>thank you very much for the responses guys; i've just been very doubtful since stanford got back to me :P. hope you all have a fantastic new year, and best of luck to everyone on their admissions!</p>

<p>if all those u listed are real, just improve on your essay and u can get into most of the schools listed. Good luck/</p>
