<p>I hope you have some safeties. With no hook and being Asian, there's a strong chance you won't get into any of these schools. See the posts about "andi's son."</p>

5

<p>you don't think UF is safe enough? The acceptance rate is very high and people that are pretty dumb at my school have gotten in.</p>

6

<p>1530 old sat, rank 1, and he may not get into any???</p>

7

<p>Although suze is highly critical at times, it is possible that you could get rejected even though you are obvioulsy very accomplished.</p>

<p>oh...oops....yes UF is a safety though</p>

8

<p>UF is a lock, plain and simple</p>

<p>Agreed, though I don't think maguo's chances are as high as uvajoe claimed</p>

<p>Harvard: 15%
MIT: 18%
Cornell: 50%
Duke: 50%
JHU: 35%
Florida: 100%
Mich: 99%
WU:65%
Pton: 18%</p>

<p>how did you come up with 18%, such a specific number?</p>

11

<p>maguo how many years have you done your clubs?</p>

12

<p>18% - just an estimate. MIT's acceptance rate is 16%, and it seems to me that maguo has a slightly better chance due to his SAT scores...that's just my view on it though :)</p>

13

<p>Ummm i am not sure about this, but don't you need Math Level 2?</p>

14

<p>I"m basing my stats on what he has right now. If he doesn't take the IIC, then it's an automatic reject by half of these schools.</p>

15

<p>I kinda agree. VERY HIGH SAT I's... Kinda crummy EC's. For the schools you want to apply to, you're at a geographical disadvantage.</p>

16

<p>By the way, do you know if most of these schools mind if I don't have any sort of a writing score?</p>

17

<p>Sorry, I missed UF. As things continue to get more competitive, it seems like high scorers with unimpressive ECs suffer most.</p>

18

<p>I have been involved in NHS for 2 yrs, Key Club (2), Mu Alpha Theta (4)
Quiz Bowl (4), French Honor Society (3), Student Council (2).
I will take Math IIC in November; expect to score > 750.
Hey, why are my EC "crummy" . What does a good one look like?</p>
