<p>bump again...also, can some tell me whether top universities like applicants who boast their qualifications in the 'list of activities' and 'essays' sections, or do they like applicants who use the essays to develop a personality and character without really going into detailed list achievements.</p>
<p>show how your accomplishments affected your character/personal growth as a person</p>
<p>any more opinions on my chances?...
cheers</p>
<p>any other opinions?</p>
<p>BEAST</p>
<p>The CR may hurt you, but with all your ECs, and your perfect SAT IIs, and with the rigorous courseload, i'd say caltech, MIT, and Stanford would be making a mistake if they didn't accept you.</p>
<p>oh god. your wonderfulness is giving me a headache.</p>
<p>that's a good thing though. lol</p>
<p>damn, we got the same SAT score</p>
<p>Wow man, just wow!</p>
<p>any other opinions?</p>
<p>Opinions? Seriously, why do I have to compete against guys like you? :D Lol... Was kidding, but I think you have a great shot at each of these schools!!!!</p>
<p>And I think tetris really summed up what we wanted to say!!</p>
<p>All the best!!!</p>
<p>Wow, you're in at all man! Good luck even though you don't need it.</p>
<p>I am so nervous! The decisions are mailed out in less than a month and I just really wanted to have an idea of what i should expect in march and april.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>bump again? PS: how do u think i compare against other internationals?</p>
<p>You are great. 'Nuff said. Stop stressing - it's absolutely unnecessary. :D</p>
<p>WAITLISTED by caltech...and now the anxiety hits.</p>
<p>Historically, Caltech takes about 20-25 off of the waitlist--so you might want to keep pursuing that option as well.</p>
<p>Accepted into MIT...thanks for all your help guys. I guess this is the end of my 'chance' threads. :D</p>
<p>RobotSidFromAus.</p>
<p>That's all I have to say.</p>
<p>Cheers mate! I've been pretty lucky with my decisions. So my current status:
MIT - accepted -> 1st preference, so I am 99% sure that I am going to accept this
Stanford - accepted
Caltech - waitlisted
JHU - accepted
NYU - accepted
CMU - accepted
Illinois Inst of Tech - accepted</p>
<p>I will post my ivy league decisions as soon as they are released. Thanks a lot for all your help guys! Best of luck to you all. </p>
<p>And for the applicants of 2008, if there is any way that I can help you, in terms of having a look at my essays, applications, recommendations, etc, please don't hesitate to ask.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
