Rate My Chances: Resume of an Ivy Hopeful

<p>Thanks for all the advice guys, lets see…</p>

<p>My course load was among the most rigorous in the school and I have taken or will take nearly all the AP courses offered by the school. I would qualify it as “most demanding”</p>

<p>Spatula - I’m a rising senior. I know things done in middle school don’t really affect admissions, but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to throw it in. In retrospect, it probably is useless, and I think I will remove it.</p>

<p>Lebron - Should I really remove my state qualification in computer science? I was under the impression state level events were valuable and this was a challenging event as well. I’m also not sure about taking out the Travis chess tournament 1st place award. It wasn’t a particularly competitive even, but at the same time, I am quite good at chess. However, I agree that I should remove academic excellence and middle school valedictorian.</p>

<p>Circular - chanced</p>

<p>x.sunny - Unfortunately, I don’t know myself what I have a passion for. I enjoy doing several things, but I’m not sure if I feel truly “passionate” about any of them. I know this is a problem, but I’m not sure what I can do this late in the game.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the help guys. Keep it coming!</p>
