<p>I plan to major in Biology or bioengineering
possibly Business?</p>
<p>THANKS A LOT</p>
<p>O yeah, and I forgot Brown.</p>
<p>You're an absolutely amazing applicant. What is Means for Teens and what sort of community service do you do? What did you write your essays about? Just curious.</p>
<p>You have strong EC's, but you didn't specify your position in the newspaper nor your work as a community service volunteer. Perhaps you can be a bit more specific.</p>
<p>For community service I do tutoring during the school year and I give free tennis lessons to underpriveleged kids during the summer. Means fot Teens is a peer group helping teenage girl get over social problems. I wrote my essay about how my move to the United States has opened up many roads in my life.</p>
<p>I am an editor for the newspaper. I also volunteer as a staff member for a Professional tennis tournament during the summer. It's a full time job for 2 weeks.</p>
<p>Thanks for clarifying. Those are great things, both for experience and for colleges. And your 1600 certainly won't hinder your chances. ;)</p>
<p>Every single school should be dying to accept you...</p>
<p>what he meant is: you haven't got a prayer at any of those. Every single school should be denying you (not dying to accept you)</p>
<p>-Yale match
-Harvard reach/match
-UPenn reach
-Columbia reach/match
-Duke match
-Stanford match
-UC Berkeley match
-Carnegie Mellon match
-Brown not sure</p>
<p>You have a solid chance of getting into any of these schools... Are you a senior?</p>
<p>BTW UPenn is very selective but i meant to put reach/match</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm a senior</p>
<p>"SAT II:
Chemistry 800
Biology 780
Macro and Microecenomics 780
Math 800
Writing 760"</p>
<p>With a 780 on a nonexistant exam, I think it will be impossible for any of the colleges on that list to reject you. You've got quite some talent, kid.</p>
<p>OMG! I'm really sorry. I posted that by complete mistake. It's just that I was just talking to my advisor about how I did on these tests and she was saying how the scores would compare to the 800 scale of the SAT's. Those tests are the AP tests. Sorry for the confusion.</p>
<p>How can you get a score on the AP test that correlates to a 780 SAT II score...</p>
<p>Eh....wanna trade GPA's? ;)</p>
<p>As for the colleges, all the ivies are a reach/match/not really sure because they are generally unpredictable. However, CMU and Duke are definite matches. </p>
<p>Do you have any awards in prestigious competitions? Colleges like to see that.</p>
<p>BTW, Moscow? From there myself.</p>
<p>I'm from St. Petersburg. </p>
<p>As for the correlation of the SAT II scores my advisor was just saying the equivalents of how well I did on the AP tests. I don't know how she came up with these numbers or where she got them from, but well she did. And we were just talking about it, and it was in my head when I posted lol. </p>
<p>I have won some math Olympiad thing, I also took the AMC for the past 5 years and did really well. I also participated in other math and physics competitions and got some awards/recognitions but i'm too lazy to go through them.</p>
<p>lazy not good! </p>
<p>Did you ever pass through to the AIME, or any other semi-national-level contests? Colleges love those.</p>
<p>Yep , I passed through to the AIME for the past 3 years. (well i don't know about this year yet) I think I even got some medal during my freshman and sophmore years.</p>
<p>You are a very very strong applicant to all of those schools. Although you can never predict admission to ivies and other top schools, I am confident that you'll get into most of those schools.</p>
