<p>no chance.</p>

<p>you have nothing unique. Sorry to dissapoint you.</p>

3

<p>I wouldn't say no chance at all. He has a little bit of something going on with a science/tech theme, and his stats are about as good as anyone's and the internship looks kinda cool.</p>

<p>where's ythe sports? ;)</p>

5

<p>you know what really sucks..if my school had a varsity bowling team i'd probably be on it..but they don't</p>

6

<p>Were you invited to the "Princeton Flyback Weekend?"</p>

<p>Your SAT I scores are a tad low -- you're right around the average but average doesn't cut it when you don't have stellar awards and such. Rank and SAT IIs look good, but your ECs aren't quite there -- you have a couple of minor leadership positions but it won't be seen as having leadership talent. Challenging classes, Questbridge may give you a boost... but I think overall you come off as being pretty vanilla.</p>

<p>but who knows in the game of college admissions...essays are important, too!</p>
