Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>American dual citizenship holder applying from a foreign country (I didn't know how to classify this) (will be considered domestic applicant)</p>

<p>Class Rank: 27/252 [before you shoot me down, know this: it's a SUPER COMPETITIVE gifted-ed school; everyone in it (except me) is a genius, as in future Nobel laureate kind of genius]</p>

<p>SAT I: CR 800/M 800/W 800 Total 2400
SAT II: M IIC 800/Chem 800/Phy 790 [reeeaally tempted to retake =)]</p>

<p>British GCE 'O' Level: GCSE : 8 A* [A* is roughly equivalent to an A+ of the American system]</p>

<p>GCE 'AS' level - AAAAAA [Maths History Economics Chemistry Critical Thinking General Studies]
GCE 'A' level :Predicted AAAA [Math Hist Econ Gen Studies]
[*Note: A-levels are roughly equivalent to the American AP, and can be used for college credit, according to the adcoms I've spoken with]</p>

<p>ECs: Philosophy Club (Founder/President: 4 years), Math Club (President: 2 years), Computer Club (President: 2 years), Astronomy club (VP: 1 year)</p>

<p>Community service: Created website to provide free math/science tutorials to elementary school children (won national award for it), Volunteer explainer at a major national science museum (100+ hours), helped in fund-raising for various charities (200+ hours)</p>

<p>Major Awards/Accomplishments: Special mention in IMO, Nationally-ranked one of the top students, National Community service award, Highest Distinction in National Math competition (4 years running), Highest Distinction in National Chemistry competition (2 years running), Winner of several international essay competitions, winner of a national web-design contest (2 years straight), also participated in the International Conference on Functional Programming Contest (didn't win anything tho), prolly will try to make it to IMO again (hopefully come back w/ a medal this time)</p>

<p>Work Experience: Freelance web-designing/programming, internship at hospital, internship at insurance company</p>

<p>No sports. At all. :P</p>

<p>Minuses: White/Asian multiracial, which is definitely not a good multiracial combo :( , High income bracket [350k+]. As you can see, it is impossible for me to get in by affirmative action; I'll have to be accepted solely based on merit.</p>

<p>I'm also kinda worried about being stereotyped as being "too asian" (I get that A LOT, even tho I'm only half-asian). AND, my stats make me look like some nerd w/ zero social life even tho I'm not (really!).</p>

<p>So please chance me for the following schools:
Harvard (legacy, only in grad school)
Yale (legacy, only in grad school)
Princeton
Cornell (Triple legacy)
Stanford
UChi
UC Berkeley
I'm thinking about Williams/Amherst/Dartmouth, but rural campuses are a real turn-off for me.</p>

<p>Many thanks in advance! =)</p>

That is very unique, and extremely different than most Asians. That uniqueness will help you alot. </p>

<p>You'll be fine for all HYPS. But you'll have good chances for them still.</p>

5

<p>Might be a bit over the top but I say in at all.</p>

6

<p>^ ditto...</p>

<p>350+ income...my gosh!</p>

7

<p>in at most. you are over-qualified for all of the schools. also, being multi-racial is beneficial. :)</p>

8

<p>you sir are a robot..</p>

<p>bumpbumpbump</p>

10

<p>You really wanna hear more people blowing your trumpet? :D</p>

11

<p>Are you ****ing kidding? Please, stop trolling these forums. IMO participant, perfect SATs, IQ ~5 SDs above average? You're in, go relax or something.</p>

<p>Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go weep in despair.</p>

12

<p>I have a question. Do you ever sleep? =)</p>

13

<p>if you take that satii science agin, that's bad. that makes colleges think ur like a perfectionist or sth. those schools will try to get u with scholarships unless u wrote essays like "I luv North Korea or something. now, just chill out and have fun with ur dog</p>

<p>You will be admitted to Cornell. HYPS may be difficult unless you are able to convey a sense of passion and committment to something other than studying and taking tests. Your posted profile, while quite impressive, also is suggestive of a bit of a self obsessed bore. Your application essays and teacher recommendations will have to dispel this image. Whether you are admitted or denied to HYPS will have very little to do with your ethnicity and much to do with your presentation of yourself to the admissions committees. Good luck! May have a good shot at Stanford as it helped create silicon valley and your primary interest is in web design. UCal Berkeley depends upon whether or not you are a resident of California--if so, you are in; if not, you are a likely admit.</p>

<p>Hey can you say more information about this school you go to (where is it, is there a website). Where is this secret society of amateur geniuses where some one with a 180 IQ says "everyone is a genius there except for me."</p>

16

<p>Wow! These days, you never know with admissions... but you probably have a 95/5 chance of getting into each of your schools! Now I feel like I've done nothing with my life ;) Thanks! jk</p>

<p>honestly, I think this guy is fake and dont trust him with the resume provided</p>
