Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Yo. So I'm just mildly bored on a Sunday afternoon and I was mildly curious as to what you guys might think my chances are at the following schools.</p>

<p>Stanford, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Northwestern</p>

<p>All RD.</p>

<p>By the numbers....
SAT 1: M:800 V:800 W:740 (Comp. 2340)
SAT 2: M2C: 770 USH: 770 Lit: 680
Rank: 1/314
PSAT: 227 (Nat. Merit. Finalist)
AP...
Chem: 3
USH: 5
EuroHist: 5
Geo: 5
Calc AB: 5
College...
Calc 2, Diff Eq - A, A</p>

<p>Senior Year (this year) Schedule:
AP Gov
AP English Lit
AP Physics B
AP Macroeconomics (Ind. Study)
AP Microeconomics (Ind. Study)
AP Stats (Ind. Study)
Calc III (First Semester, A)
(Mid-Year all As)</p>

<p>ECs...
Drama - Very committed. ITS. Few awards, though, simply due to the nature of the department. 13 shows. Directing one in March, have the lead in the spring show.
Debate - Top 60 FX last year's Nats. This year ranked in top 50 Extempers in the nation. 6 1st place finishes in FX this year. 2 1sts in LD. Outstanding Contribution to Forensics (last year, kind of like the squad's MVP). Oh, and President this year.
NHS - President.
Teen Court - Attorney.
Ultimate Frisbee Club - Founder, Captain
Tennis - JV all four years. I love it. Always conflict w/the spring show, though...</p>

<p>Assorted...
Recs, Essays, should all be par for the course.
Sort-of legacy @ Stanford (Aunt, Uncle)
Brother at Yale now.
2 month summer exchange program to Argentina this past summer.
Occasional job on a buffalo ranch.</p>

<p>If you care to respond, that'd be sweet.</p>

2

<p>I'd say good. :)</p>

3

<p>u got a perfect score out of 1600??? that'll definitely get you into someof those along with the other extras</p>

4

<p>thanks. other thoughts?</p>

<p>and tell you what. make it interesting. post your appraisal of my chances, and then post what song you're listening to right now.</p>

5

<p>people in live in South Dakota? :O</p>

<p>you learn something everyday...</p>

<p>your chances look good.</p>

6

<p>you should get in rather easy... make sure ur rec. letter and essay keep up to ur stats.</p>

7

<p>um...yea. youre getting in everywhere.</p>

8

<p>1600 + South Dakota = Cambridge.</p>

9

<p>I'm terrible at appraising people's chances, but I assume you have a pretty good shot almost anywhere. </p>

<p>I really just posted because I'm from North Dakota, and I only appreciate it because it likely helped me get into college.
I'm in debate, too.</p>

10

<p>Thats no fair, I ought to move there....</p>

11

<p>other people want to jump in?</p>

12

<p>To the Dakotas? Probably not, it sucks here.</p>

13

<p>Lol. I meant into the thread.</p>

<p>And hey, don't diss SoDak. It could be worse.</p>

14

<p>Yup, it could be North Dakota.</p>

15

<p>Exactly. SoDak has wide open spaces and carved mountains. And hills. Well, at least West River does.</p>

<p>North Dakota has...um...grass?</p>

<p>Other thoughts/opinions (on either my chances or which Dakota is superior)?</p>

16

<p>Forget Harvard and Yale; you could get into Heaven with those statistics.</p>

17

<p>West River ND also has hills and buttes and Badlands...I'm from there, so no dissing that half of the state. </p>

<p>The eastern half of the state is.....cold and flat and grass. I hate it. They should just make it part of Minnesota</p>

18

<p>Yeah. What they should really do is divide the dakotas by the missouri river, not lines of latitude. That'd be a better divide.</p>

19

<p>It's looking good. I don't know if any school in the world would have the nerve to reject you. :)</p>

<p>Stanford - match
Yale - match
Harvard - match
Princeton - match
Cornell - safe match
NWU - safe match</p>

<p>(^^^ thanks.)</p>

<p>bump...</p>
