SCEA: 5% chance? More/less?

<p>I would appreciate if anyone could give me a clear and critical look at my chances. I didn't think I'd be posting here, but the chance forums are so hectic right now that the thread never stays on the first page long enough for anybody to read it.</p>

<p>No Legacy, or URM or anything like that. Tri-state area and I'm Asian, so there's nothing that could possibly give me any boost.</p>

<p>**GPA:
**Basically all A's and A+'s (a 4.0 by some systems?); our school counts Gym and whatnot, so weighted GPA is probably unrepresentative.</p>

<p>*Coursework: *
Most rigorous offered within school, 5's on US History, World History, Chemistry, and English Composition. No dual enrollment or community college courses.</p>

<p>Scores:
SAT I: 2340, superscored, M/R/W: 770/770/800
SAT II U.S. History: 750
SAT II Math Level 2 (IIC): 790
SAT II Biology - M: 750
SAT II Chemistry: 770</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
I have an activity list that clearly shows my level of involvement and initiative in the following:</p>

<p>Summer Research/Internship at Columbia University
Honors Chamber Ensemble (violin), Concertmaster and Vice-President
Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra (Community Orchestra)
Chess Club, Founder and President
Debate Team, Co-Captain
School Magazine, Editor</p>

<p>And some other clubs that I'm not sure I should even mention: Computer Club, Model UN, Philosophy Club, Math League, Science League</p>

<p>*Recs and Essays *
Recs will most likely be excellent, + My mentor, a professor at Columbia, is writing me one.
Essays are looking good, I've been revising since August.</p>

<p>I'm lacking work experience and major awards. I have National Merit/AP Scholar and some debate awards blah blah but nothing major. This is where my uncertainty comes in.</p>

<p>Your stats are great. Package yourself well now - give your application a “theme” or at least think about how you are packaging yourself.</p>

<p>I hope your essays are great - you’ve got a great chance.</p>

<p>All of your EC’s are good but there is nothing that REALLY hooks me. Your common app essay and P supp essay are good opportunities to convey your voice.</p>

<p>Princeton is a great school - a fantastic undergrad. I really hope you get in :)</p>
