<p>okay the other thread gets no response</p>
<p>SO I GOT DEFERRED BY CORNELL, more or less expected, and i decided to screw cornell, and i switched my carnegie mellon app to early decision II (they let me) for information systems major, i just wanna know my chance for that and my other RD schools. I also have my senior year grades by now…they definitely improved , continued my upward trend and i finally hit honor roll, i also changed my list of EC and award for the regular apps…</p>
<p>School: The Hotchkiss School, one of the most prestigious in the nation, search the prep school admission forum for hotchkiss and you will see…</p>
<p>biggest problem (explained by GC): I didnt go to a international school when I was in hong kong, therefore my english and spanish grade sucked first year…and she also highlighted my upswing trend…</p>

<p>Recommendations:
1 amazing rec from my math teacher who taught me multivar and linear algebra junior year…she probably talks about my passion in math and how I self studied for AP Calc and jumped a year…she also knows me well in person.she’s also my advisor for mathclub and math team</p>
<p>1 decent rec from my spanish teacher who talked about how I went from a lazy student to the most devoted spanish student in his class…and then go on to study abroad in summer</p>
<p>GC rec is decent</p>
<p>1 stellar rec from the secretary general of a UN chartered NGO as I was a webmaster, he talks about how i approached big corporations,wrote proposals and landed 2 lucritive webbanner sponsorship for the website…(maybe a hook?)</p>
<p>took multivar and linear junior year…plus almost qualified for USAMO, dont know whether this help</p>
<p>anyway cumilative GPA is 3.2 breakdown is sophomore 3.1, junior 3.3 senior so far 3.8 unweighted</p>
<p>school obviously doesnt rank, 30% of the class has cumilative unweighted GPA above me</p>
<p>want to know my chance for Carnegie Mellon Early Decision II (i just switched here) for Info System major</p>
<p>also want to know chance for Wash U, U Mich, Illinois, USC, BU and Northeastern and harvey mudd (these are engineering)</p>
