<p>@davin you seem to have a solid resume and you have decent (25-30%) chances of admission to any of these schools. I’d wait for some of those test scores to come in though</p>
<p>Also just to clarify we are looking for people who want to get chanced for Stanford <3</p>
<p>Chance me for stanford,caltech,university of michigan Ann arbor,georgia tech.I need an astrophysics major in them.Please chance me.</p>
<p>thinking bout nursing</p>
<p>So here is my profile:
Race/Ethnicity: Asian (but born in america)
GPA(Unweighted): 2.45 (BUT I do a lot of work im a cashier at moms store I work 34 hours a week . every week of the year since freshman year over school year and 74 hours a week every week suring summer over the past 4 years)
Essay: Told by 6 teacher that its incredible
Rank: not sure but is positive that it is top half out of about 600 students
SAT I
Critical Reading: 420
Math: 590
Writing: 440
(From Freshman to sophomore year my gpa has been rising every quarter)</p>
<p>Job/Work Experience:
works 2 hours a school day and 12 hours saturdays and sundays everyday at a convience store my mom owns
Recs:
from my history teacher who use to be a guidance councelor and my english teacher who went to harvard.</p>
<p>RETOOK SAT 3 weeks ago and took ACT one month ago expecting major improvement in math SAT section by 100 the least and improvement to reading by 40 by the least, act I felt confident should get SAT scores in 9 days and ACT scores this week
but chance me for Quinnipiac & UMaine</p>
<p>Native American from Minnesota. 3.99 unweighted, my school doesn’t offer AP or Honors, but I’ve taken several classes at local colleges, mostly Spanish and programming. 35 ACT, 2180 SAT, 800 Math / 770 Chem SAT 2. Varsity Tennis captain, regional USTA tennis champion, lots of tennnis-related leadership crap. Also Varsity Captain in Knowledge Bowl, Math League, and Speech. Cofounded school’s first computer science club. Essays are witty, sarcastic, and trenchant, recs will be ‘enthusiastic’. Nation Merit semifinalist, NHS, etc. Stanford would be awesome for computer science.</p>
<p>Biggest hook is skinning beaver and knocking a timber wolf unconscious with a stick. And a ton of boundary waters canoeing trips.</p>
<p>I’m going ED to Duke and its absolutely my favorite school and just want to know if I can expect some good news.</p>
<p>I have a 95.7 unweighted average with a weighted average of 99.1
this lets me graduate with summa cum lade (98+ weighted) only like 15-20 people for heaviest years.
I’m in the full IB diploma so my schedule stays extremely difficult (only AP I’m taking senior year is AP Calc BC and rest is IB classes)</p>
<p>33 composite on my ACT,31 english, 35 math, 34 science, 33 reading</p>
<p>I play 2 varsity sports, captain on 1 (3 years for that) and 2 years for the other. In addition I have summer and fall teams that take up another 8-10 hours a week.</p>
<p>Have had a summer job 2 years, worked in 2 springs as an umpire until sports didnt allow me to anymore, work with an organization that helps disabled children play baseball for 4 years-- a lot of my supplements will include this and briefly mentioned in my common app essay and its had a big imprint on me that I am trying to convey in my essays.</p>
<p>I’m a member of a few clubs, but no real leadership positions and often i cannot make meetings for that as i have sports that just conflict too much being 20 hours a week.</p>
<p>Member of NHS and foreign national honor society for spanish</p>
<p>My common app essay was about a condition that I was born with that occurs in 1 in 18,000 kids and how its really changed my outlook on life and a lot of things— i had to make sure that it didn’t sound like a sob story, because it wasn’t at all just a real life changing thing for me as i got older (i think that could be something really interesting)</p>
<p>recommendations are good from both teachers, won awards in both classes</p>
<p>won book award for RPI (only top 10% can win, but we dont rank officially)</p>
<p>In terms of major, i’m undecided but i have interests in economics, psychology and possibly a pre-business/undergrad business school (mich/uva)</p>
<p>Thanks for the input! And other schools I’m applying to are:
Michigan, UVA, Binghamton (NY resident), Northwestern, Cornell, Lehigh, Vanderbilt, Penn (legacy at Penn)</p>
<p>Okay, RD Stanford this year.</p>

Honour:
Math League high school group Final individual gold prize (2013 in Stanford)
Maybe just this I don’t remember any else</p>
<p>Major undecided Apply for FA
Recommendation letters: two from my teachers and one from counsellor </p>
<p>Any advice? Thank you a lot!</p>
<p>@jtg: 40%, are you good enough to be recruited for tennis? You seem like an interesting applicant with depth to your extracurriculars. 35-40% chance of admission</p>
<p>@duke412: You’re in at UVA, Mich, Binghamton, Lehigh, and probably Vandy.
You’re a strong applicant for Northwestern, Cornell, Duke, and Penn. Penn is your biggest reach, I’d give you 65-70% for Duke and we’d be surprised if you got outright rejected, at worst deferred. </p>
<p>@Wengkls: You’re an outstanding student, however the international applicant pool is really difficult to predict. Just keep pursuing your passions, I’d give you above-average chances for an international but it’s hard to tell. 13% largely due to being Chinese international</p>
<p>Hope this helped guys! We chance for STANFORD just a reminder</p>

<p>My essays are pretty good. Still polishing them. Have an interesting story and have showed a quirky character. My intellectual vitality essay is pretty unique but fun, my what matters essay is impactful (I hope), and my roommate essay is quirky and fun. </p>
<p>What percent chance would you say I have? Remember that I am applying early.
Thank you so much!</p>
<p>@cmon: You’re definitely a solid applicant, all of your empirical stats are solid so it will come down to two things; how you craft a story through your essays and application structure, and what the admissions office is looking for in a freshman class this year. If you fit the bill, you’d do great here. I’d give you 20-25% chance (which remember is almost 5 times the normal acceptance rate) . Best of luck!</p>
<p>@Jonah: Eskimos (most likely) don’t live in Arkansas and you probably didn’t cure cancer, but trust me when I say we have a kid that’s working on it. Please be serious here, thanks!</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing me. My experience has been a little bit strange…I didn’t want to be an engineer until last year so I don’t really have a lot of STEM ECs. I didn’t even know about colleges till like last October. I’m going to be applying as a 16 year old if that changes anything.</p>
<p>I don’t have stanford on my list of schools currently but let me know where I stand. Thanks.
