<p>Your resume if so good I’m doubting it’s legitimacy. </p>

3

<p>Obviously your stats are good but they seem to be very very academic-centric. That being said, your super high test scores will probably get you into at least one of these schools. Maybe add more safeties? I have heard that Washington University may reject people who use it as a safety</p>

4

<p>You are a very strong applicant, even among Ivy applicants!</p>

5

<p>I just realized I put Intel when I meant Siemens</p>

6

<p>MIT (EA): rejected
Caltech (EA): rejected
Harvard: rejected
Stanford: rejected
Princeton: rejected
Columbia: rejected
UC Berkeley: accepted or at least waitlisted
UCLA: accpeted/waitlisted
UCSD: accepted
Cornell: waitlisted</p>

<p>While Intel regional finalist is nice, there will be other people who have better award records. Your ECs are generic, too…</p>

<p>Put some schools like Tufts, WUSTL, and Vanderbilt. Also, you being an Asian will hurt you in private schools…(not UCs)</p>

7

<p>Your resume is amazing! I would definitely think you have a good to great chance of getting into all those schools! Especially if you’re Siemens…</p>

8

<p>@paul2752‌ Considering there are only 97 finalists in the whole country, out of 4400 applicants, I don’t see what you mean by “there will be other people who have better award records”… Unless you mean national finalists, which there are only 6 of, but surely schools have a lot of spots for their freshman class than 6?</p>

9

<p>You have good chances at all of those schools, and you don’t need anybody else to tell you that or tell you otherwise. </p>

<p>End Thread</p>

10

<p>You’re competitive for all those schools. End of story. No one can give you the kind of granular predictions you’re asking for.</p>

11

<p>Your objective stats are good enough for any school. That being said, the top schools are “lottery drawings” for any applicant, so its probably going to come down to your essays. You stand a good chance at any school, but you never know what’s going to happen until you actually get accepted/rejected/waitlisted. Just keep trying your best.</p>

12

<p>MIT (EA): accepted (strong stats)
Caltech (EA): accepted (strong stats)
Harvard: rejected (nothing unique)
Stanford: rejected (it has a very high emphasis on athletics, sorry)
Princeton: waitlisted (don’t know too much about Princeton)
Columbia:
UC Berkeley: accepted (match)
UCLA: accepted (match/safety)
UCSD: accepted (safety)
Cornell:
Washington University in St. Louis: accepted (match)
Harvey Mudd:</p>

<p>what is your intended field of study?</p>

<p>@SiemensMIT‌
If you carefully read paul2752’s comment, you would see that he thinks that you are an Intel regional finalist, but that is also strange because Intel finalist is also a really big award.</p>

<p>According to <a href=“List of Top, Prestigious Awards - #841 by riffed - High School Life - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/high-school-life/302001-list-of-top-prestigious-awards-p57.html&lt;/a&gt;, Siemens regional finalist is a rank 9 award, which is very impressive. I have seen an old College Confidential thread about an IMO medalist (a rank 10 award) who was not accepted by Harvard, but that is probably an extremely rare occurrence. At my high school, there are several students with rank 7 or 8 awards who were rejected/waitlisted by many of the top schools. My school does not have many students with rank 9 or 10 awards (about once per year), but I think those students are accepted by almost every school that they apply to.</p>

<p>I intend to study mechanical engineering</p>

16

<p>It’s my understanding that the UCs do not offer much aid to out of state students. With that in mind, the UCs are financial reaches for you. Do you have any true safeties? Ones that you can definitely get into AND afford? Are you applying to a SUNY? </p>

<p>I will apply to SUNY Binghamton and Stony Brook</p>

<p>Is that prestigious program RSI? </p>
