<p>Hey guys. I applied to Pton with an undecided major. What do you think my chances are? [Asian Male from Kansas City, Missouri]</p>

<p>GPA: 3.78 Unweighted (I go to a really tough, small, non-religious private school); 4.24 Weighted (We aren't allowed to take over 3 honors/AP classes); Most rigorous courseload possible.</p>

<p>[I also moved from a public Nebraskan school after freshman year to my new school which I attend now. I had a 4.0 both semesters back at Nebraska in freshman year.]</p>

<p>SAT: 800 Math, 720 Verbal, 750 Writing (11 on essay)
SAT IIs: 800 Math 2, 790 Biology</p>

<p>Honors classes: Precalculus, English, French, Physics. AP classess: Calculus, Chemistry.
AP Tests taken: Physics B(5); US History (5) (we only have regular US History class, but it's really comprehensive still); Calculus (5). I will be taking Stats, Literature, French and Chemistry this May.</p>

<p>Extra-Curriculars:
-Varsity Swimming (10,11,12). Captain and State Qualifier, many Letters
-Varsity Water Polo (10,11). Captain
-Drawing/Art (9,10,11,12). Won many regional prizes, many displays in local galleries, designed art for school projects, nationally recognized, had my drawings published in 3 national magazines after sending in my art for consideration)
-Asian Awareness Club (10,11,12). President, organized events
-Math Team (9th grade, when I was at Nebraska) On the state team, which won 1st place at dual meets, our district meet, the regional meet, and took the state title.
-Model UN (10,11,12)
-Community Service (10,11,12) Approximately 100 Hours</p>

<p>Essays were really good, Reccomendations should have been good as well.</p>

<p>What are my chances? (P.S. I applied to Wharton at Penn, Duke, Yale, and Harvard. So if you could chance me there as well, much appreciated! I'll only post here to save the spam.. haha)</p>

<p>Hi,
If you are very good swimming , you can be recruited by NCAA III colleges, such as MIT, U of CHicago.</p>

5

<p>i'm not getting recruited for any sport.</p>

<p>what do you think my chances for pton are with the stats posted above??</p>

6

<p>I'd say you have quite a good chance of getting in!</p>

7

<p>I think you need to send 3 SAT IIs. Not sure, though. Your chances look pretty good... Quite well rounded.</p>

8

<p>I believe Princeton requires 3 SAT II's as well.</p>

<p>oops he has them though...sorry.</p>

<p>As good a chance as anyone... no hook, but your resume definitely makes you competitive.</p>
