<p>31 views and no response?</p>

3

<p>as good as anyones</p>

4

<p>sounds decent. not as many extracurriculars as most of the people who post here, but actually similar to what I had when I got in.</p>

5

<p>I am from bronx Science btw.</p>

6

<p>Any more advice?</p>

7

<p>Could you describe the Intel project? Has it won any awards?</p>

8

<p>Any more advice?</p>

<p>Also I forgot to add cyber club which I have participated in Freshman year and will participate in next year again. </p>

<p>Also I will be applying for Questbridge and I think I have a fair shot at becoming a finalist due to the hardships that I have endured and my family income.</p>

<p>Good luck with Questbridge! I'm all for people applying through Questbridge because it gives you a chance to work on an extensive app (regular college apps will be a breeze after your experience with Questbridge) and is also a great way to mark your application as one adcomms will want to pay attention to.</p>

<p>If you're a minority student, also apply for the Gates Millennium Scholarship. I can't begin to tell you how this scholarship has made life immensely easy for me. </p>

<p>As far as admissions goes, consider this, adcomms are not looking for well-rounded students. They're looking for pointy students (passionate and good in a certain aspect) that when put together, make up a well-rounded class. Make sure you're doing things you're passionate about that will come across in your essays.</p>

<p>The people at *********.com said I have absolutely no chance at getting into Princeton.</p>

11

<p>why doesn't auto admit show?</p>

12

<p>Because CC blocks competing sites. People on AA are quick to make harsh comments. Don't be too concerned.</p>

13

<p>So there is some hope right? I also have a hard luck story if anyone wants to know it and determine if this will make a difference.</p>

14

<p>Yeah hard luck stories alone are probably more of a negative factor than a positive one on your app unless you make something genuine out of it...nobody likes a whiner.</p>

15

<p>I am going to write about how this story has made me more independent, and supportive, and caring. PM me if you want more details.</p>

16

<p>I'm not sure about chances since it's all very seemingly random, but I gotta say that everything you listed there is very impressive.</p>

17

<p>Just wondering, but don't you need to know at least Calculus II for Differential Equations?</p>

18

<p>I think so but pre-calc is the only requisite in our school.</p>

19

<p>I am dying to get into Princeton. Do you think Questbridge would be considered a hook?</p>

20

<p>Don't get too caught up in chances. To be honest, nobody can say anything for the majority of applicants besides you have a decent shot. Beyond that it depends on a multitude of factors you can't gauge on a discussion forum.</p>
