<p>Peculiar abilites, as in they have trouble relating to others.
I don't mean extraordinary.</p>
<p>Everything on the application makes him seem the typical intelligent asian male who has nothing to do, but study. Definite interests in math and science. I.E. state math comp, science olympiad, chem competition, I don't see any athletics or true leadership apart from a student government. His chances are low: I know plenty of genious asian males with those stats who were rejected from HYP. You may think whatever you want, but the admissions workers are typically caucasion and have a definite bias towards asians who appear to do nothing but study. There definitely is a sense of jealously, being that they are stuck in an admission's office, and feel they are powerful because they are the gatekeepers to the Ivy League. Think whatever you want, but scour the admission's threads, and you will see a definite bias towards intelligent asian's, who have excellent credentials.</p>
<p>sigh. you guys and your f---ing stereotypes. It IS POSSIBLE to kick ass at academics and be a social guy. If all you do is study, then youre just stupid. This guy cant be anti social, HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND.</p>
<p>sriharifez, it's possible, but very improbable. Sterotypes or not, you're being too much of an idealist here. Focus on the realistic chances of this thread being invalid.</p>
<p>You didn't indicate your boyfriend's desired major nor passion. The deliberate emphasis was clearly on this perfect academics. You only took it upon yourself later to post his "musical" talents...</p>
<p>I say you were bored or in sick denial (wishing you had that perfect boyfriend, posting this thread in hopes to enhance that fantasy), when you created this thread.</p>
<p>Otherwise, I say your boyfriend is disgustingly perfect in colleges' eyes. It doesn't matter if he is a genius, what matters is a clearly indicated passion or goal in his case.</p>
<p>Reading through this thread, I realized that the OP did indeed make up our controversial "super student." Look, the OP refers to the boyfriend in quotes. The boyfriend doesn't exist, and the OP has already tried to tell us that! But it seems like everyone has ignored this fact, and so the OP, exasperated, just went on posting as the "girlfriend of SuperStudent."</p>
<p>IF u have perfect sats and perfect gpa, whats there to worry about? :P
ur bf has no flaws</p>
<p>lacking nothing but athletics...or do we have a nationally ranked track star in our hands as well?</p>
<p>bump
.......</p>
<p>I think we should stop questioning the data and start evaluating it. It doesn't matter anyway, after all it is just a chances thread. And no matter what, people can still be balanced and maintain both a social and an academic life. </p>
<p>I can see your boyfriend succeeding scherzando1, and getting in at least one of the colleges listed here.</p>
<p>I don't even know why you would post a chances thread for your boyfriend... I mean there is nothing he can do but get good teacher recs and write incredible essays. He has perfect scores... he is at the top of the top with the 2400... is it really even worth asking whether he will get into an ivy? guess what? NOone knows!!!!!! It really is a crapshoot.</p>
<p>Quite frankly, I don't really care if these stats are true or false, so I'm just going to assume the stats are true and chance accordingly.</p>
<p>Your boyfriend has a very good chance at all of those schools with stats like those, but I'd say that Stanford would be tougher than the rest, seeing that he isn't really spectacular or nationally recognized in any of his extracurriculars. This year, saw my school's valedictorian get rejected from Stanford with a 2400 SAT and 26 AP classes under his belt, along with some local swimming awards. He got into Harvard, so clearly one can see that Stanford weighs extracurricular activity more heavily than some of the other top schools in the nation.</p>
<p>wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
your boyfriend must be an extremely smart person
he should get accepted into most of those ivies you listed</p>
<p>I don't think this is real...</p>
<p>Anyways if this is real what was the point of posting it? What do you want us to say, have him raise his SAT and GPA? Its a crapshoot and obviously being the "perfect" student that he is he will get into some ivy.</p>
<p>ill take you up on that offer to post the score reports
webshots or something should host it, and you can black out the name if you like</p>
<p>in any case, i think he should work on raising his SAT to 2500 if he wants a decent chance at HYPSM, and unweighted GPA should be no lower than 4.1</p>
<p>in terms of ECs...he should get involved in the local community
town supervisor/city mayor (depending upon where you live) wouldn't hurt
winning intel would also be a marginal plus
as would a proof that P = or does not = NP</p>
<p>funny post doctor...</p>
<p>I really don't mean to sound mean or anything but seriuosly what do you want us to say? You want us to tell you that after getting all A's and perfect scores that any school is a reach to him. Obviouly he has a chance at all the ivies, if you/him really needed us to tell you guys that then maybe he dosen't belong at the ivies.</p>
<p>What I don't understand is why so many of you equate great scores with great chances for the Ivy League! Obviously, my boyfriend has great scores (and incidentally, I will post them tomorrow, if someone has a blog or something whose password and ID they'd be willing to lend me), but he is spread out in a lot of different areas, a fact that could definitely damage his chances if he doesn't stand out in a pool of applicants with spectacular ECs or nationally recognition. Should I make myself clearer? Probably.</p>
<p>So, basically, how should he emphasize his well-roundedness? I know a lot of the top schools are looking for passion, particularly in one special area, but my bf's credentials dont necessarily reflect that. But he cares a lot about everything he does, except maybe Academic Bowl. How does he express that to the admissions committee? Through his essays? Through supplemental things (suggestions would be nice)? Etc.? Any help would be appreciated.</p>
<p>I still don't get what he needs help in. If he is a junior his clubs and commitment to things are done. Just hope for the best and don't mess up.</p>
<p>He needs to find a theme, and not one that goes "I'm really smart, check my scores."</p>
<p>Find a unifying toppic about him and go with that...essays, extracurrics reported, etc.</p>
<p>But AGAIN, let your intelligent boyfriend deal with this himself. I still don't understand how it is your place to help him put together his application.</p>
<p>yes that is exactly what i don't understand
why are you posting his app on cc for him?
shouldn't he be doing this himself?
and i don't really believe this
and if it is true, then yes, he'll get into all of those ivies
but what is the point of posting it?
making us feel bad? saying he should improve?</p>
<p>but for you skeptics out there, i can provide a link to a picture with all his score reports. prepare to eat your words.
^ what you said the first time</p>
<p>my boyfriend has great scores (and incidentally, I will post them tomorrow, if someone has a blog or something whose password and ID they'd be willing to lend me)
