[</em>] Gender: male
[/ul]Other Factors: decent ec's: community service, science research, two sports (captain of one), writing for newspapers.
General Comments: I guess this is what happens to a white guy from NYC with high SAT scores and no major hook. Maybe I should have applied early. This does make my decision easier, though. Oh well, I tried. congrats to all the admits and good luck to my fellow rejects.</p>
<p>Decision: ACCEPTED!!!</p>
<p>Stats:[ul]
[<em>] SAT: Well, it only took the new, so that'd be 760 V, 780 M, 800 W = 2340 total.
[</em>] SAT IIs: 800 Lit, 770 Bio E, 650 French Reading
[<em>] GPA: 4.52 (as of junior year), 4.0 UW. So if they take off the freshman grades, it brings it up to somethign like 4.8...took all 5-levels in junior year thanks to IB.<br>
[</em>] Rank: 2/363
[li] Other stats: 5s on 6 AP exams, 5 Calc AB subscore, 7 French SL (IB), 5 Art SL (IB). National Merit Finalist.</p>[/li]
<p>[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[<em>] Essays: I wrote about dressing up as Hamlet on Spirit Day for the big one, a kite in a tree for the one with the Einstein quote about curiosity, and a fellow applicant and e-mail pal from India (he lurks here too!) for the one about someone who has influenced you. I thought that was my biggest risk. Guess it was OK! Now I'm rooting for him.
[</em>] Teacher Recs: Amazing, esp. English
[<em>] Counselor Rec: good; she works for all IB kids and doesn't really know all of us too well...meh
[</em>] Hook (if any): Well, I had a great interview and wrote an extra essay describing my visit to the school and how we got lost trying to find it at night, but how I ended up there anyway (wink, wink :) ). It also had random stuff about me, which I somehow tied in with why I wanted to go to the school (that CAMPUS! It's AMAZING!). My extra effort bit...
[li] Applied early?: Nope, nope, nope...that was why I was only hoping that that essay would work--after all, if i really wanted to go, why wouldn't I have applied ED? Answer--I didn't apply ANYWHERE ED...</p>[/li]

General Comments: It was the last one I got. Came home, saw the pinkish "no stamp" label sticking out from underneath the door, knew what it had to be, saw how big it was, grabbed it and tore it apart ^_^ . I'm so happy!--proves my acceptance to Yale wasn't just a fluke! I now have a tough choice to make...hopefully my Indian friend will be accepted, which will make it for me.</p>

<p>jeez...why does my mail come so late?</p>
<p>You got the letter in SoCal? I'm in New Mexico, how come I haven't heard anything?!</p>
<p>-Jesus, lizzardfire. Why the heck...</p>
<p>-azp, where else did you get in?</p>
<p>Yup, Socal, just came in...</p>
<p>USC Bac/MD, Brown, UC Berkeley, LA, SD all with Regents...Come to think of it, I didn't really apply to that many schools.</p>
<p>I guess my post office is just unorganized.</p>
<p>Are all decisions priority mail, or just acceptances?</p>
<p>just acceptances, hence they are going to come early.</p>
<p>I Got In!!</p>
