Hi, can anyone chance me for ED class of 2022? I would be grateful for any feedback, cheers.
Nationality - British
Ethnicity - Asian Indian
Income ~ 70k?
Intended degree - Physics

ACT - 34
SAT subject tests - Math II 800, Physics 800
Grades - Maths A, Further Maths A, Physics A, Chemistry A.
GPA - I used a conversion table and got around 3.8 to 4.

ECs:

  • 2 week research placement at a University in India, studying piezoelectricity and nanofibres
  • UK maths Olympiad from grades 6-11
  • UK physics Olympiad from grades 10-11
  • Cambridge Chemistry challenge grade 11
  • Play county badminton, have won regional tournaments. I train for 7 hours a week
  • Work as an assistant badminton coach, teach kids to play badminton.
  • Maths and Chemistry mentor for students lower down the school
  • Volunteer at a local Primary School as an assistant teacher, help struggling kids with their work.
  • School Prefect, duties include acting as a temporary librarian during free periods and doing tours and talks for prosperity parents and students visiting the school.
  • Duke of Edinburgh awards, basically doing a load of hikes spanning over multiple days.

I’ve got quite a few weaknesses, such as my ethnicity (ORM) and need for a substantial amount of financial aid :frowning: ECs are average, nothing brilliant, and teacher recommendations will also be average.

Thanks!

Your scores are spot on.

“need for substantial financial aid”
My family makes almost the same amount as yours and I’m paying about 5K a year at Washu btw. (I wldve been paying about 11K though if I had accepted the first offer they gave me but I talked to them and they gave me more)
Another thing is that on-campus housing is expensive. If you move off campus (I will for junior year) then youll be saving a lot. So if your paying 5K then you could be looking at paying the school nothing.

Hi everyone! I am a senior applying to both Yale and Princeton, but I am unsure of where to apply early to have the best chance at getting in. My GPA, test scores are high enough for the ivies, and most of my extracurriculars are science/research focused. I heard that Yale does tend to like females in STEM… would anyone give me some advice on which school to choose for the best shot at acceptance? Thank you!
