Please chance me?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello: I'm currently a junior. Please chance me if you find the time to...I will greatly appreciate the thought :)</p>

<p>GPA (weighted):4.33/4.5 (I got a lot of A-)
GPA (unweighted): I don't really know how to calculate this. I heard from someone that any A (A+,A,A-) is a 4, any B is a 3 etc... and then you average the numbers together. If that's true, then I have around a 3.98.</p>

<p>Ranking: My school doesn't give a ranking, but definitely top 5%. Maybe even 1/100 (small public school).</p>

<p>AP classes: 4 (mostly junior year, so I don't know the grades yet) AP tests: 6
AP Euro: 4 (only AP I took as a sophomore; only one they offered)
AP Microeconomics: 5 (probably)
AP Macroeconomics: 5 (probably)
AP Statistics: 4/5
AP Japanese: 5 (I didn't take a class for this)
AP Spanish: 4/5 (maybe even a 3; hopefully not)</p>

<p>SAT: 2340</p>

<p>SAT II:
Math II-800
Physics-800
Japanese-770
Chemistry-740</p>

<p>I'm hoping to take the English and History SAT IIs this June, and I'm hoping to get at least a 750 on both...</p>

<p>Awards:
NHS
State Science Fair 2nd place
National Merit Scholarship (I won't know whether I made it to semi/final until September though)
Calligraphy Competition </p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:
Book Club: President
Business Club: Co-president
Music Through the Ages Club: Vice President
I own a piano studio and teach children piano
Volunteer: 200+ hours at the Children's Library
Hopefully Summer Internship at a science related company (waiting for reply, but I probably got accepted)
Middle School Tutoring
Swim (no awards though-I'm average at best)
Taught English in China
Taught Japanese over summer
Regional Symphony Orchestra: violin</p>

<p>Hook:
I don't really know whether this is a hook, but I can speak 4 languages. Both my parents work full time, so I babysit my brother a lot. I'm an Asian female though, so I'm an overrepresented minority. I figure these three can even out, maybe, hopefully?</p>

<p>I haven't written my essay, but let's assume that the essay won't harm me. I kind of have a vague idea on who to ask though. Both I think will be, if not extremely, positive.</p>

<p>I know it's too late to chance much regarding my application. My ECs seem scattered all over the place, but reading, music and business are truly my hobbies. I know that I don't have any amazing awards, like an Intel award, like the other people on this site. I was a little worried about my application before, but after I found this site, my confidence sort of declind, sharply.</p>

<p>What are my chance for:
Wharton (dream school: if I get in, I will be the happiest person ever)
MIT
Harvard
Yale
Stanford
Princeton
Brown
Cornell
Dartmouth
(basically the Ivies)</p>

<p>Any suggestions on how to improve my resume?</p>

<p>I’d say about 50% shot at HYPSM and Wharton. About 60% at Brown and Dartmouth. 70% at Cornell. I had similar stats and got into Brown and Columbia (rejected Dartmouth, Princeton, Yale, Stanford).</p>

<p>everything Test-wise looks fabulous, SAT scores of 2300+ pushes you over a threshold. SAT II’s look good, though your Chem is a bit low. Your AP’s look a bit sketchy with scores ranging from 3-5, but colleges usually don’t stress AP performance as much as SAT II’s. If I were you I would work on the awards. I love your EC in terms of teaching language and piano, but soem academic awards would put you out much more. Focus on ONE passion and elaborate on it in your collegess apps. Ivies want people who are passionate about ONE thing, instead of many interests without depth.</p>

<p>gpa goes 3=B 3.3=B+ A- =3.7 A=4 A+ =4.3</p>

<p>basically when you go up or down from each letter its .4 and an addition of a + or - is .3</p>

<p>You’ll on a great track, but I’d try to continue community service as much as possible and you should focus on earning some more awards.</p>
