Rate My Chances: Resume of an Ivy Hopeful

<p>I recommend removing this:</p>

<p>• Computer Science TCEA State Participant, 2009
• Travis Chess Tournament, 1st Place, 2009
• Academic Excellence, 2009, 2008
• Valedictorian at PEARLS (Middle School), 2007</p>

<p>These awards will barely have any effect on your app.</p>

<p>Average chances.
Difficult to find passion.
Got scores and GPA.</p>

<p>How is your courseload compared to those of other people in your class?</p>
