<p>I am the number master. Not you.</p>

<p>I agree with the above. Obviously, your chances of admission would be dramatically increased if you were to get 700+ on your physics and writing SAT II's. You EC's are average, though, like me, you work a lot, which is a big plus in the admissions process. My recommendation: raise those scores. btw, good job on the AIME.</p>

<p>hi john,
You know that working isnt such a big plus. Stop stressing the job thingy to other people. A job is a waste of time at our age. Sure we get experience, but its not like we are going to be working at a retirement home or at CVS when we are outta college (if you are planning tho, stop stressing over school). Also, what much can an admission person say about you having a job. So he learned the value of working and that its hard to earn big bucks, big deal. He's just concerned with you doing well thru college and then getting a real job that pays over a grand a week. Not like the retirement home which pays you minimum (7.10 per hour in CT) and a 25 cent extra per hour on sundays. </p>

<p>enuf refuting piman.. (Republican, figures)
id suggest numbermaster start mastering vocab. and also dont apply to cornell cuz i am...i dont need the extra competition. jk.</p>
