Hello,
I have already posted a thread about Brown, but I’m wondering about my chances at other reach schools. I have been deferred from Penn and MIT(No one got in MIT from Turkey, only 2 defers).
My SAT is 1500(R&W: 700, M: 800) superscored
SAT II: Physics 740, Chem 710, Math II 790
APs: Physics 1:5, CS: 5, Calc AB: 5, Chem: 4, English Lang: 3
Also I have Calc BC, World History, CS: Principles, Physics C: Mech, and English LIT pending
ECs: I had an internship at a Microsoft Research Facility(I won’t specify which one, but I was the first high schooler there), The FRC team I cofounded won the Rookie All-Star Award and has had other awards from regionals. We’ve come in 5th place out of 48 teams at the ING Bank Hackathon(We were the only high schoolers there). I have 200+ hours of community service hours(most of which I taught programming and maths). I’ve taken 4 EdX courses on CS. I also went to Harvard Summer School and have 2 semesters worth of credit. I do Krav Maga and play golf(licensed in both). I have other ECs and awards too, but I think these are the highlights.
I’m applying for Computer Science from Turkey. I think I have a unique voice that will stand out to Brown. Most people have said these are my best essays yet, in a list including MIT and Upenn.
I already got in University of Edinburgh, so I’m comfortable while applying to all reach schools.
Do you think I can get in?
