<p>hey violator, welcome to Indian forum. You have some nice looking #s and rank. You are it.</p>

<p>Seriously, which schools are you applying? Judging from what you have posted, you have no reason not to apply to top schools.</p>

<p>Could you please elaborate on your accomplishments?</p>

<p>Gold medals - who awarded them?</p>

<p>What did you do at the biotech company? How useful was that experience?</p>

<p>What is special about “data structures programming”?</p>

3

<p>which schools?</p>

<p>gold from where?</p>

4

<p>I got Gold medals from school for being highest in those respective subjects.</p>

<p>The biotech company was in 11th grade i went to their labs and did some gene expression and similar stuff. But this was way back when i was interested in biotech and i m not sure if it would be most relevant now. I had the letter of recommendation so i thought i might as well submit it. The second company was more relevant being more related to the course im applying to( mechanical engineering).</p>

<p>This c++ course was kind of like this introductory course which was basically about the basic functions, programming structure and conditional loops. i also wrote this program at the end of the 56 hour course.</p>

<p>Im kina trying to decide on the colleges.
I sent my early to Umich (ann arbor) and Stanford</p>

<p>The regular ones are-
Mit
Princeton
UC Berkley
Georgia Tech
Cornell
UIUC(Not sure)
UPenn
Carnegie Mellon</p>

<p>Ive also been considering Columbia and Brown.</p>

<p>What do u think my chances would be??</p>

5

<p>Also do u people think Caltech might be possible with my scores??</p>

<p>And would 10 -11 extracurriculars be good enough on the common app??</p>

<p>If someone could please answer i would really appreciate it.</p>

6

<p>

</p>

<p>I know people with similar stats have been admitted. I am sure you know as well as I do that it is more than just stats.
Wish you good luck!</p>

7

<p>Can someone please post and help me out here???</p>

<p>Violator, what do you hope to gain from this chance me thread?
Only you can be best judge of your chances.</p>

<p>When you are done completing your applications you will know how you feel about your chances. I feel that application process is a process of self discovery. If college essay questions get you excited and bring out the best in you then you have a good chance.</p>

<p>If you find yourself merely glorifying your achievements then you are in trouble.</p>

<p>This is how I feel about college application. </p>

<p>There will be many kids with stats similar to yours applying to those schools. So, it will come down to how you project yourself in your essays.</p>

9

<p>Yea i noe its also essays n all that make a difference but im kind of confused wether i shouldd take sat again or not?
Thats all i need to know so please do tell!!</p>

<p>Violator, no one here can tell you if your SAT scores are good enough for all those schools.</p>

<p>Have you looked at acceptance ranges for the schools in your list? </p>

<p>I don’t remember the #s. My wild guess is that you are at the bottom 25% for MIT, Princeton & CalTech, middle 50% for Brown, UPenn and Columbia and top 25% for the rest. You are better off finding this info yourself. Someone like you should be able to dig out this info in no time. </p>

<p>So, if I were you, I would try to improve CR score and get into top 25% range for all the schools I am interested in. </p>

<p>Again, I really doubt anyone here on CC would tell you that you won’t get in at any of those schools based on your scores.</p>

11

<p>

Ah, I wish that was true.</p>

<p>Violater- You got 94 in 11th? Some liberal school you go to eh?</p>

12

<p>

</p>

<p>If you knew enough to “chance” other people, you would be able to chance yourself. A list of ECs and numbers does not convey passion, which you would show through your essay. These threads are ridiculous.</p>

13

<p>Lol yeah i go to state board so its crazy easy…</p>

<p>Yea i noe tippu so i finally decided i would write it again only my counsler was confusing me so i need an extra opinion…</p>

14

<p>^^Hi there bluebox! Posting Frequency decreased I see. Exams over?</p>

15

<p>

</p>

<p>I couldn’t agree more.</p>

16

<p>Noo. I’ve got like a midterm every two weeks. <_<</p>

<p>My posting frequency will increase after Wednesday (I think).</p>

17

<p>how can u do ea at stanford with another university?.. its restrictive early action…</p>

18

<p>Quote: I dont think you can apply stanford/umich early</p>

<p>, you can since UMichigan is a public state school, it is exempt from Stanford’s SCEA rules/regulation</p>

19

<p>

</p>

<p>WHAT? Where are you getting your information from?</p>

20

<p>That’s very true!</p>

<p>You can also apply to foreign univs, public univs, univs in ur home state and univs with a rolling admissions policy along with Stanford SCEA!</p>
