Predictions, not Chances!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I would like if you could predict admission (Accepted, Waitlisted, Rejected) decisions for the following schools. It would mean a lot! Thanks!</p>

<p>QUESTBRIDGE Regular Decision</p>

<p>Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Harvard, University of Michigan CoE, MIT, University of Chicago, Duke. Here's a little about me:</p>

<p>NO AP COURSES AT MY SCHOOL, Does not send kids to Ivy league, top tiers usually
ACT: 33 (34 E 34 M 30 R 32 S, 10 writing)
SAT Subjects: Math II 770, Chemistry 730
GPA: 3.98, expected All As this senior semester
Took all courses my school offers
Senior Course Load (Dual enrollment):
Fall
Differential Equations with Linear Algebra
Calculus II
Physics I: Mechanics
General Chemistry I
English 12
Drafting</p>

<p>Spring
Multivariable Calculus
Macroeconomics
Physics II: Electromagnetism
General Chemistry II
Psychology
English 12
Drafting</p>

<p>Intended major: Chemical/Biological Engineering</p>

<p>Rank: 5/205 Unweighted...
Recommendations: Excellent! My professor really highlighted the struggles I've overcome and my passion for learning. My professor mentioned my self-studying Calculus II to take Differential Equations. Counselor really likes me..
Income: <$27,000 QuestBridge...
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: White
Hooks: First generation, Low income? Overcoming huge adversity?
Work Experience: 23 hours a week during the school year, 43 hours per week over the summer
What I use this money for: I realized that my school doesn't have AP courses, etc... so I saved money to take classes at the local college, including gas, insurance, textbooks, courses, etc...I help with bills around the house..</p>

<p>Extracurriculars (Grade, hours):
Leo Club (10,11,12, 1 hour per week), SADD (10,11,12, 1 hour per week), Robotics (12, 6 hours per week+), Mentoring(11,12, 6 hours per week), STEM Club (12, 2 hours per week), Tutoring (10,11,12, 4 hours per week)
I take most pride in mentoring because I am making a huge difference in the way younger students view their education.
Volunteering: Hospital (12, 5 hours per week)
Reason for lack of involvement: There are not many clubs at my school, Robotics is new, my Dad used drugs and we lived too far from the school in 10th and 11th grade. I did not have a car until August!</p>

<p>Extenuating circumstances: Mom and Dad were heroin addicts, I spent my life moving at least once a year, living in campers, trailer parks, etc. I went to foster care, then my mom got us back, my step dad abused me, my brother started using drugs and went homeless, my dad continued using drugs and i lived with him. He then passed away. My mother is severely ill.
My essays reflect what I've learned from these events and how I've grown as a person, if you are wondering.</p>

<p>My prediction is that you will get into Michigan, and at least one of your ultra-selective choices. They are all brutally competitive, but your narrative of triumph over adversity will earn you serious consideration at every one of them. It’s so tough to predict admissions at any of the most elite colleges, but I predict that you will have several great options come April. Okay, here I go (and it’s worth every penny it costs you): Acceptances at Chicago, Michigan; rejections from MIT and Stanford; waitlist at Duke . . . hmmmm . . . am I forgetting anything? Take your pick for HYP: acceptance at one, waitlist at one, rejection from one. Sound good?</p>

<p>Hopefully <em>Princeton</em> or Yale!</p>

<p>Princeton, Yale, Harvard: AT LEAST one acceptance. I will hate Ivies if they don’t accept you(I am serious)
Stanford: rejection waitlist
University of Michigan CoE: Definitely
MIT: Only if you are very talented in math/engineering/science
University of Chicago: Assuming you are ready for the school’s weird essay topics, waitlist or acceptance.
Duke: Highly yes</p>
