Please chance a recruited runner for MIT and a few other schools?

<p>Hi, I attend a competitive public high school in NJ that ranks consistently in the top 100 for public schools across America. I am a multiracial male, Indian-American and African (Kenyan).</p>

<p>I am applying to EA to UChicago and MIT and RD to Cornell, UPenn, Swarthmore, Amherst, Claremont-Mckenna, Yale, Harvard, Brown, Bowdoin, Princeton, Stanford, and Wash U in St Louis.</p>

<p>GPA is a 4.22 weighted, I have the most rigorous courseload and at a very rigorous school.</p>

<p>SAT I's CR-690, M-800, W-720 ---so on the total a 2210</p>

<p>SAT II's--Math II-800, Chemistry-760</p>

<p>AP's taken---US History, World History, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Chemistry, English Language and Composition</p>

<p>AP's for next year---Government and Politics, Spanish, BC Calculus, English Literature</p>

<p>So far I have all 4's and 5's and expect all 4's and 5's on the rest</p>

<p>In addition I have taken 9 honors courses. I have always opted for the hardest class that I could possibly take, and have never dropped out of a class.</p>

<p>EC's
School's track and XC captain--record holder in many events (4 year varsity in track- at a competitive school-sends kids to nationals)
All State first team XC
School's Most Valuable Runner
President of Indian-American club (12 kids)--serious
Staff writer in the school newspaper-not too serious
I work a job at the local running store during the school year
Secretary of school's cycling club. Go on rides with principal of school (30 kids)
Big Brother/Big Sister Leader
Participated in Amherst Diversity Open House
Member of Model UN
Interned at an NGO affiliated with the United Nations for 1 month after soph. year. Was the project coordinator and set up and fine tuned a camp bringing needy kids from around New york city to the UN everyday to learn about diversity and tolerance.40 hours/week
-Interned for 6 weeks on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange for a small brokerage firm. Learned a lot about how the trading works, and I studied for the series 7 (stockbroker) examination. Paid internship. I got this job because I was selected from a group of 20 underclassmen who took AP econ this year. Every year a student from my high school gets to work for the firm because of excellence in economics and I got lucky.</p>

<p>Rec's
Very good, but not the best ever
Counselor rec will be stellar
Very impressive rec from president of the brokerage firm on the NYSE</p>

<p>My times for track are 51.4 in the 400m, 1:57.8 in the 800m, 4:25 in the 1600m, and 15:52 in a Cross Country 5K. I have stayed with members of the track teams at MIT, Swarthmore, Wash U, Amherst, and Bowdoin.--The coaches say that I am recruited, and want me to see their schools. I have to pay to get there and then they will pay the rest. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>well, if you are recruited isn’t your chance is 100% right?</p>

<p>I LOVE to run too, but I’m not being recruited.</p>

<p>I might take out the Divoh thing. It isn’t really relevant to schools that aren’t amherst but that’s just my opinion.
Anywho, I think you have a great shot!
Good LUCK!</p>

<p>URM+Recruited Athlete+Good Academics= Accepted to most schools.</p>

<p>Your very similar to my stats. You’re a bit faster than me in the 800/mile but i’m a more true distance guy running 15:4X for 5k. I’m also applying to MIT with pretty similar academics and ec’s. hope we get in</p>
