Mmm, chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Redirected from somewhere else: I would appreciate it if anyone could sort of evaluate my stats and tell me if you think I have a shot at Brown.</p>

<p>Early decision</p>

<p>SAT I:
CR - 700
Math - 740
Writing - 620</p>

<p>I promise that I'll raise my math and writing significantly. I expect to have at least mid-2100s after October. </p>

<p>SAT II:
Math 2 - 790
Chem - 770 (I hadn't taken chemistry in a year when I took the test.)
Japanese - will take in November, and I'm pretty much guaranteed an 800.</p>

<p>GPA - around 100 weighted
Rank - Top 5% in a class of about 360 students</p>

<p>Took highest offered courses fresh/soph year. This year I took:
IB math HL - A+
IB environmental SL - A+
IB English HL - A
AP US hist - A+
IB French SL - A-
Computer-aided-design - A+
Theory of Knowledge IB - I don't know yet, but probably an A</p>

<p>I will find out about my AP/IB exams later this summer. I took the AP Euro exam last year and got a 3 : / . I might've failed APUSH but I think I got a 6 or a 7 on my IB exam. My AP exam scores will stand out in a really bad way.</p>

<p>ECs:
Currently President of science club - officer for two years
Currently VP of the math team - pretty much guaranteed President next year
Currently secretary of orchestra - will probably get VP for nest year</p>

<p>Sold my soul to science olympiad - my passion 3 yrs
Math team - was selected to compete at state competition 3 yrs
NHS 1 yr
Cello 7yrs - trying out for local youth symphony orchestra soon
Starting underground chess club because chess is illegal at my school.
I might have more that I'm forgetting so I may add later.</p>

<p>Others:
TA at a Japanese school almost 200 miles away every weekend (I love my parents.) 1yr
We put on a chemistry magic show for little kids throughout the year 3 yrs
Peer tutoring through NHS
I expect to have excellent letters of recommendation.</p>

<p>It would be great if you could tell me if I have a shot at Brown early decision. Also, could you estimate if these schools would be reaches, big reaches, matches, etc?</p>

<p>Cornell
Case Western Reserve
Oberlin
Carnegie Mellon
SUNY Binghamton
SUNY Geneseo
University of Rochester</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Oh and by the way, I'm a Japanese male and my native language is Japanese.</p>

<p>The SAT scores could really hold you back. There's really no way anyone can have a great chance of getting into a school like brown, but with the SAT scores up some you definitely have as good a shot as anyone.</p>

<p>brown ED is hard for anyone... a shot? yes. </p>

<p>Cornell- match/ reach
Case Western Reserve-match/safety
Oberlin-match
Carnegie Mellon-match/slight reach
SUNY Binghamton - safety
SUNY Geneseo- safety
University of Rochester-match</p>

<p>best advice= up the SAT scores slightly :) easier said than done.. i know</p>

<p>When I say "3yrs" for ECs, I mean I've done it for three years so far and I plan on continuing through my senior year.</p>

<p>I think I'm going to shoot for a 2200 in October. Math and writing were unusually low for me, so I'm certain that they'll contribute to at least a 90-point total increase. </p>

<p>Also, could my ECs hold me back? I don't think I have anything particularly outstanding. I plan on writing one of my essays around science olympiad because I love it.</p>

<p>Someone introduced me to:</p>

<p>admission chances . com (no spaces anywhere; I had to separate everything because it wouldn't let me post otherwise.</p>

<p>It's great - try it out.</p>

<p>yea someone also introduced me to it...but it has some glitches that need to be worked out. The site is only one month old. Otherwise, it provides a lot of in depth evaluation.</p>
