University of Chicago
Washington University in St Louis
Johns Hopkins
Rice

<p>bump. </p>

<p>Any feedback would be great.</p>

3

<p>Are you serious?</p>

4

<p>Er yes, I am. I don’t see a problem in going ahead and seeing where I stand.</p>

5

<p>God I’m jealous and so is he… He thinks you’re bragging or are just trying too hard or even out of your mind for even asking if you qualify, which I do too.</p>

6

<p>wow. well I guess I’m going to go cry now, since I clearly am a ■■■■■■/lazybum compared to you.</p>

<p>but if you get a chance, <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/856454-ivy-league-chances-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/856454-ivy-league-chances-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>There are plenty of more competent applicants out there.
Do you think you could actually chance me for the aforementioned colleges?</p>

<p>Your resume as a sophomore is more impressive than most seniors I know. With Ivies you never know, and I don’t really know much about admissions at any of those schools, but I would say you are DEFINITELY on the right track. Sorry I couldn’t be much help.</p>

9

<p>You can definitely get into most of those schools!!!
MIT will be a very high reach, but who wants to go there anyway?
The hardest will be Yale, Harvard… But you can probably do it!!! You have very impressive grades, a high rank, and good ECs</p>

10

<p>Colleges don’t care about anything before high school.</p>

<p>You’re fine. Keep on keepin’ on, and I don’t want to see you over here for another year. Go study for your math competitions ;)</p>

<p>(All right, one thing–try to raise your rank as much as you can. And get good scores, but that’s a given.)</p>

11

<p>you’re on the right track. keep it up.</p>

12

<p>I agree with everyone else. Your EC and course load are very impressive for someone in the 10th grade. If you do well on the SAT, you will have a good chance at any school that you are interested in. Good luck!</p>
