7

<p>columbia yale princeton penn …kick one of them off they’re so unpredictable</p>

<p>jhu, cmu, cornell, penn state honors = match</p>

<p>maybe add 1 or 2 safety? UIUC perhaps? BU? i dunno those were the ones that came to my head…</p>

8

<p>maybe one more time…haha</p>

9

<p>bumpity bump bump</p>

10

<p>well, into carnegie mellon and penn state, almost assuredly. cornell and johns hopkins a little tougher… bla bla bla im not telling you anything new. youre a competitive applicant. youll do well.</p>

11

<p>you will get into all of the non ivies, and will probably get into 2/3rds of your ivies.</p>

12

<p>i think ill bump this, even though its really old</p>

13

<p>I just signed up for this blog. What does “bump” mean?</p>

14

<p>Whodunit: Bump = move the thread back up to the beginning or top of the post. That way more pepole can see the thread and reply to it. </p>

<p>So, tjan91, I’ll chance you … but you chance me too?? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/538677-please-chance-me-i-d-really-really-appreciate.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/538677-please-chance-me-i-d-really-really-appreciate.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your GPA is extremely impressive; a 3.9 is very high … you’ve done very well (but, yes, I know, it still isn’t that 4.0!!! … You’ll live) You’ve obviously pushed yourself very hard in high school, as you’ll end up with 11 APs … and your entire senior year is made up of AP classes. That’s a good thing, along with getting 5’s on all your AP exams so far … good job on that! You’re gonna get alot of college credit and I think you’ve made it as an AP Scholar! Your SAT score of 2340 is very very very good … coupling that with a 230 on the PSAT should give you AT THE VERY LEAST a Semifinalist … you may even get a finalist, even if you come from a highly competitive state, such as NY or CA. Your SAT Subjects are VERY good … almost perfect. Your ECs are good … it doesn’t really matter if you have leadership in those activities (just because you don’t have leadership doesn’t mean you don’t do alot) … if you’re actaully involved in those activities, convey your passion for doing those ECs in your essays; that way admission officers know that you’re actually there and active in the club. Btw I like that Ping Pong thing in your app … that’s quite unique. To top it all off, your summer research should serve as a nice icing on top off a very good chocolate cupcake that you’ll be serving to admission officers. (chocolate cupcake is a metaphor for your excellent app btw) </p>

<p>Overall, you’re an excellent student. I envy you … LOL </p>

<p>**Chances: **
Yale/Princeton/Columbia: Reach, b/c they’re ivies and highly unpredictable
UPenn: Match (I heard they’re numbers-based)
JHU/Cornell: Match
Carnegie Mellon: Safety match
Penn State Honors College: Safety … some chance of merit scholarship</p>

<p>Good luck, and remember to chance me (return the favor)!</p>

15

<p>Yale/Princeton - Reach, as they are for anyone, no one can really know for sure who will get in
Columbia - 70%?
UPenn: Low Reach/High Match - I’d say 80%
JHU/Cornell - Low Reach/High Match - I’d say 85%?
Carnegie Mellon and Penn State Honors College - In all reality, you SHOULD get in…</p>

<p>Btw, who ranks high school ping pong players? I know this one kid in my school who is pretty darned good, I wonder what he’s ranked?</p>

16

<p>there is an association called USATT that assigns ratings to all players that play tournaments. You can check the kid at your schools rating by going to
[USATT</a> Ratings History Page](<a href=“http://www.usatt.org/history/rating/history/]USATT”>http://www.usatt.org/history/rating/history/) and typing in his last name.
Rankings are under the customizable member lists, and you have to set perameters, such as players under the age of 18, male/female, etc.</p>
