<p>High five, fellow 45-pointer! Which country are you from? Did you take your exams in Nov '08?</p>

<p>I’m loving your SATs and Olympiad medals. ECs are kinda bare though, and that may hurt for HYPS.</p>

<p>Harvard - Crapshoot
Princeton - Crapshoot
Stanford - Crapshoot
MIT - Quite possible
Berkeley - Low match
Cal Tech - Match
U Mich - Safety
UIUC - Safety
Imperial - Safety
Cambridge - Depends on interview/test</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I forgot to add, do ECs not obtained in the last 2 years count?
If so, I am a Chief Commissioner’s Awardee in some well-known youth organisation, which is something like an eagle scout I think. Was in the organisation for 4 years before I left for science club to focus on chemistry.</p>

<p>Only grades 9-12 if I’m not wrong.</p>

<p>^^^i doubt they have grades9-12 wherever he is from. Basically from the last 3.5-4</p>

<p>Ok, I got the award about 4 years ago. Was quite active until I left about 2-3 years ago.
Probably should have done more ECs.</p>
