<p>Thanks!!!! :)</p>

<p>In at all schools. Not sure about cambridge because I don’t know much about that school</p>

3

<p>ECs are a bit weak & lack of community service, work, awards etc
but URM with great scores= decent chance.</p>

<p>Cambridge & Yale=reaches
Dartmouth & UChicago=Low reach/high match
no idea about imperial
NYU- in</p>

4

<p>I have 500 hours at a local hospital, elementary PTA, etc. Forgot to add that.</p>

<p>From what I know about the UK school system, they rely heavily on test scores, especially APs for Americans. So you’re probably fine at Cambridge. Definitely try Yale; high-scoring URMs (we should start a club :P) always stand a chance. In at NYU, probably in at Dartmouth, Chicago is a reach, since they emphasize quirkiness/passion and you seem slightly generic/scattered.</p>

6

<p>Since you’re black with those SAT’s you can go wherever you want.</p>

7

<p>What are you planning on studying if you go to Imperial/Cambridge?</p>

8

<p>Are you from the UK?
Your academics are very strong and the ECs aren’t outstanding but they’re good- I’d say you’ve got a good shot at all</p>

<p>if you want to chance me my thread down further a bit</p>

9

<p>Natural Sciences at Cambridge(Msci) and Physics With Theoretical Physics(Msci) at Imperial</p>

10

<p>Nope, I’m in Texas. I lived in Ohio until I was 15 if it makes a difference.</p>

11

<p>Smart URM goes where he wishes.</p>

12

<p>I’m sure you can make all the schools. :)</p>

13

<p>Well for Cambridge: 38-42/45 in the IB is needed and “a high pass on the SAT” and three APs at 555 or 554 so technically you have enough to get you admitted twice over. xD But I reckon you have a good chance at both. Can’t really comment on the US ones, however. (:</p>

14

<p>I can say in at all except Cambridge(I don’t know about them) and Yale(HYPs are unpredictable)</p>

15

<p>You’re in.
Your profile is almost too good to really exist.</p>

16

<p>Bump…thanx 4 the encouragement.</p>

17

<p>Jig.
Congrats on the incredible credentials, as others have posted, involved EC’s are a part of the holistic measure.
Exerpts from one of your posts concerns me though
Quote [ AP:
World History: 5
Environmental Sci: 5
Planning: Calculus BC, Chemistry, Statistics, Physics B, Physics C: Mechanics and E&M, Calculus AB. All my AP’s are self-study except World History. I got a 240 on the PSAT, although that doesn’t count for anything. I’m doing the IB programme next year. I plan on taking several SAT II’s./]</p>

<p>In your July post you listed only 2 AP’s taken with 5. Do correct me if I’m mistaken, but I do believe AP exams are only taken in May, so when would you have taken and passed the others?
You also mentioned you plan on taking several SAT II’s, to my knowledge there has been only one SAT date since July, which was October 10th Is it possible for you to have taken 6 SAT II’s and SAT 1 at the same time? If it is, you are going to have to share that secret with the masses.
Is it safe to assume you took your ACT in October? . As for your EC, I won’t assume, but instead would welcome your take.</p>

<p>It’s possible that he didn’t have his AP scores at the time.</p>
