QuestBridge -- Stanford?

<p>haha but that's a little stalkerish don't you think ;)</p>

<p>kyle, I've actually tried that and haven't found them.</p>

<p>The kids who got into Princeton through QB did not have slightly less impressive stats as those admitted without QB. They were about equal, IMO. Sorry, I know it doesn't help that much. I thought that stats wouldn't be that important either, but they actually are.</p>

<p>Chances for Princeton via QB:</p>

<p>Damn. I thought questbridge would be quite a significant thing to put on your app. </p>

<p>Here are my stats:</p>

<p>School: Bronx Science
GPA:92 but it should rise to a 93 soon.
Sopomore Year:honors chem, honors algebra/trig, science research
Junior Year:honors physics, honors english, science research
Senior Year: A.P Chem, A.P English, A.P Micro, A.P Calc Ab, linear algebra and differential equations, science research</p>

<p>ACT;34
U.S History-800
Math IIC-800
Biology M-710 (freshman year)</p>

<p>did poorly one term due to family problems which will be explained in rec</p>

<p>distinguished key clubber award</p>

<p>will hopefully be a questbridge finalist</p>

<p>might join national honor socitey next year but i doubt it since it has no real standards for membership</p>

<p>"kyle, I've actually tried that and haven't found them."</p>

<p>I did. =)</p>

<p>A.P Calc Ab, linear algebra and differential equations</p>

<p>how do you take those two at the same time? you have to know calc first.</p>

<p>I don't know. Our school allows it. My chances look pretty bad for Princeton and Stanford even if I apply through QB right?</p>

<p>You got a 34 on your ACT. Your ECs don't show any passion, however.</p>

<p>Really? I though they did. </p>

<p>Dental Internship, pre-med club, hospital job, hospital volunteering, doctor shadoin, key club, biomedical research, the college now class is part of a pre-med academy, and the s-prep program at columbia which is designed for students interested in going into medicine. Thats not passion?</p>

<p>I see passion..others are just wierd like that...</p>

<p>It's a passion, but it's somewhat diluted when you throw in other random stuff. Be selective of what you put on the app.</p>

<p>ok, you guys really shouldn't confuse undergraduate with graduate. When someone is applying for undergrad, they usually don't know what they want to do yet. So it's alright that there's dabbling in the general area of healthcare. I think collegehopeful stats are pretty good, an ACT of 34 is good enough to get into ivies. Except the course selection is weird, because by what you listed, that mean you won't take a single AP test until next year. That might be a turnoff but everything else is great</p>

<p>We're aware of what grad and undergrad are, and yes, many people do know what they're going to do when they apply for undergrad. And these days, colleges do seem to favor those who show a specific passion for something.</p>

<p>collegehopeful78, you look good stats-wise. Put together a good application, and you should have a reasonable chance.</p>

<p>Sorry, but your EC's look like you've joined each of them a little too late..and only did them for a year or even a MONTH, except for the dental intern. I say don't list things like i.e. your Starbucks job which lasted 30 days..."it's depth, not breadth" as said by some fancy college admissions counselor.</p>

<p>Starbucks job is not EC, it is a job, and should be listed as such. </p>

<p>Some programs are one-time thing and don't last years, that does not mean they are meaningless or unimportant.</p>
