<p>Math I/Math II/Physics/Chem: 800
Korean: 790
US H/World H: 790</p>

<p>What instrument in orchestra? Definitely do an arts supplement. It will help. </p>

<p>I think your stats and grades are stellar and the EC's are quite competitive. For the SAT II's- if Korean is your native language, I would take another SATII just to show that my abilities are widespread. If it isn't your native language, then way cool. </p>

<p>Realize, of course, that there are no guarantees, regardless of stats, grades and Ec's. But you are looking good. What is your safety school? Be sure to love it.</p>

4

<p>If this is a troll thread, you could have used this time much more productively.
If not, I think you have a great chance and wish you the best of luck in admissions.</p>

5

<p>lol those stats look so fake, they are perfect. So many EC's and president of almost all? Are you for real? If you are, then you have a VERY good chance, if not, then ure a loser.</p>

6

<p>It's obviously fake. He's taking AP Spanish Language with no prior spanish classes? yea ok.</p>

7

<p>Are you flaming?</p>

8

<p>^HAHAHA^</p>

<p>"Why yes, yes I am."</p>

<p>You have an excellent chance, OP.</p>

9

<p>This is obviously a troll.</p>

10

<p>LOL :D.</p>

<p>(10 chars)</p>

11

<p>um... wow?</p>

12

<p>ok thanks everyone.</p>

<p>i was just curious because there's a lot of competition in my school and it's somewhat normal to do the same course load im doing, and i really wanna go to HYPS and others..</p>

13

<p>you will not get in anywhere. i suggest applying to Indian tech. schools as safeties.</p>

14

<p>how could you ever be president of 5 clubs and captain of 3 teams?</p>

<p>i mean it's literally impossible to do all of them efficiently - or really at all. </p>

<p>and this coming from a person who is literally involved in everything</p>

15

<p>and why on earth did you retake the SAT after getting a 2390 the first time? Did you really think the extra 10 points would help? </p>

<p>... troll :(</p>

16

<p>wait, what? how is this not impressive?</p>

17

<p>You know this is a joke when someone with a 2400 SAT score posts a CHANCE ME thread in the PRINCETON forum without even including PRINCETON as one of the colleges to chance on. Honestly...</p>

18

<p>pipmom: i play the viola and won many different competitions with it while playing in front of many audiences. i was thinking about taking art classes, but my schedule is too full</p>

<p>i retook my SAT because i was frustrated i just got 10 points lower from a perfect score. i got what i wanted so im happy :)</p>

<p>orsche, i did say in the first sentence that i wanted people to chance me for hyPs, and other universities. just thought you'd like to know cause you really have selective reading</p>

19

<p>stuff some kung pao chicken up this troll.</p>

20

<p>I do have to point out also that the OP stated that he/she took Cal II after AP Cal BC.</p>
