One month left, help me ease my mind

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Alright guys I did this before, however Im too anxious to wait around for the real decisions.</p>

<p>Also, I did not have any kind of luck in the early run, so help me out.</p>

<p>SATs: 1450 1st time (760 M 690 V)
SAT IIs: 693 best 3 avg (680 IIC 670 Phys 730 Writing and 660 Spanish) (nonnative speaker of course lol)</p>

<p>I know the IIs are slightly subpar, but I believe that is my only weak point.</p>

<p>I go to top ranked high school in NJ</p>

<p>I am biracial, middle class male (nonURM)</p>

<p>GPA - 94 UW
Rigorous Curriculum
taking AP Chem, calc, stats, spanish, english
No change in GPA from midyear report</p>

<p>ECs
Editor of Newspaper
Founder Pres of Business Club
Key Club, Chem League, Model UN, etc</p>

<p>Challenger Program - work with children that have ADHD and Autism every sunday</p>

<p>What I lack seems to be good SAT IIs and awards. My school doesn't give out any awards that I'm aware of.
My only awards consist of things from the Challenger Program and my local CC where I take classes.</p>

<p>I think my essays are OK, nothing outstanding, which I know will hurt me.</p>

<p>Alrriiight here are the schools:
Uchicago - deferred
Upenn - rejected
TCNJ - accepted+full ride
Rutgers - accepted with scholarship money
Northwestern - RD
Boston College - RD
Cornell - RD
Columbia - RD
NYU Stern - RD</p>

<p>I also had 2 interviews for both Cornell and Columbia. These were specially set up with people in admissions. How will this affect my chances?</p>

<p>Ok thank you all for your time.</p>

2

<p>You will be accepted to all, and i am not just saying that to ease your mind
although cornell may give you a little trouble, but i would rather go to rutger (they got great food)</p>

3

<p>hmmm yes i have heard of food called rutgers although i dont member what it is.</p>

<p>AHAHAHAHAHA YOUR SAT II'S ARE SO LOW HAHAHAHA........(not really....)</p>

4

<p>ur SAT IIs are pretty low: for math+ phys
u should retake and get high 700s for those...</p>

<p>but 730 writing is awesome...
thats in the top percentiles i think..</p>

5

<p>yeah never learned Precalc well. as for Phys, it was after a soph year intro course, thus the score. But ur right no excuses I would take them over but no time left =/. Thanks everyone for ur thoughts</p>

6

<p>i agree. you have some great EC's. your scores ARE competitive. This makes you a good candidate, especially among the Ivy's. I idolize you.</p>

7

<p>LOL...idk...last time i checked u needed 1500 + 750 II avg, Great ECs, and highest GPA known to man. Wait, you have all that. Congrats on life.</p>

8

<p>Actually, my getting-shot-by-game's-crew club is not as strong as the business club. nor are my non-existant connections with competitive ivy league schools. congrats, man.</p>

9

<p>Good shot at Cornell, and is it Columbia College you applied to?</p>

<p>If your rank is like top 5% you have a decent shot around the list</p>

10

<p>his/hers SAT IIs are not low!!! they are average</p>

11

<p>Haha thanks guys, well we are really not ranked, since my school is only 60 kids. Highest GPA is a 98 and the lowest is an 85, that's all the colleges will see.</p>

12

<p>oh and btw yes its College</p>

13

<p>ha it's like the opposite at our school
our highest gpa is 90%, the second is 86%, then probably me 84% then the lowest are 30%ish, mid 50%-75% is around 60-75%
lol
80%+=a new scale (5.0 scale, every two percent equals +.1)
80%=4.0 yah!</p>
