What are my chances and how can I improve them?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Dear readers,</p>

<p>I'm Jeroentk, a 14-year old boy from the Netherlands (Europe) who really wants to go to a great college (Ivy League or so) and therefore I'd like to know my chances and how I can improve them. Here are some stats:</p>

<p>Gender: Male
Intended Major: Business/microeconomics
Location: The Netherlands
Ethnicity: White</p>

<p>Grades: 90-95% on a level which is slightly higher than a good IB-program on all subjects (all mathematics, all economics, history, business etc.)
Sports: 5 years soccer, 1 year tennis, 2 years chess</p>

<p>Some extras: I could do some exams on my 15th, which would be 3 years earlier than normal. Also I am teaching economics at my school to students who are between 4 years older and students who are 2 years younger. I also sport with students who are 4 years older, because I'm a pretty good sporter. </p>

<p>What would be my chances if I continue like this on the Ivy League-universities and comparable universities like Stanford? And how can I improve my chances?</p>

<p>If you'd want I can chance you back. </p>

<p>Jeroen,</p>

<p>Just responding in English so that others can read it also, instead of Dutch. I have spoken to many VWO’ers (pre-university) and HAVO’ers that got admitted to Harvard and Yale. Some of them are really close friends.</p>

<p>If your grades at VWO/HAVO (not VMBO!) are 9+/10 I would like to give you a good shot. Try to focus on your leadership activities within the sports. That is what my friends did to get into Harvard. How can you convince the admissionboard that you are a good sportsmen? Think about that.</p>
