<p>with my given credentials, i am not sure if i even stand a chance making it to a place like princeton... but here goes..
SAT I: 2350 (don't remember break down).
SAT II: Math 1&2 800, Physics: 800, Chemistry: 750
ACT: math - 36, verbal - 32
GPA: 4.0 unweighted out of a maximum of 4.0. So i got all A's.
Rank: n/a (school doesn't offer class ranks).
AP classes course and grade in parentheses (Before senior year): Calculus BC (5), Physics Mechanics (5), Physics E&M (5), Chemistry (5), Biology (5), Computer Science A (5), Statistics (5), French (4), Macroeconomics (4).</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
Assistant to coach of school mathcounts team
Red Cross Volunteer(2 years)
Volunteer at an old age home (2 years)
Math tutor at high school (3 years) </p>
<p>School Clubs:
Math club Treasurer (freshman year),
Math Club President (sophomore year),
Math club Vice President (junior year).
French Club member (sophomore year)
Treasurer (junior year).
School's Science Olympiad team (sophomore and junior year).
Computer Science club (junior year).
JV Tennis team (junior year)
School mathcounts team 2 years (this was in 7t-8th grade so i don't know if it matters). State qualifier both times. </p>
<p>Competitions:
I have placed in the top 3 in several statewide math competitions (1st 2X, 2nd 1X, 3rd 2X). I was on my state's american regional math league silver team (top 30 in the state for all grade levels) once, and on the american regional math league gold team (top 15 in state for all grade levels) 2X.
I also placed 1st in the nation in the geometry division on some math competition (i don't think it was very prestigious though).
I am also a 5 time AIME qualifier (grades 7-11), AMC 10 school winner (2X), and AMC 8 school winner (1X).
Intel Science Fair: 2nd place in division in region.
Physics Olympiad Quarterfinalist (sophomore year).
Physics Olympiad Semifinalist (junior year).</p>
<p>Letters of recommendation: my computer science teacher told me that he would love to write me a letter of recommendation even before I asked him. Also i am pretty sure that my french teacher and my physics teacher would write good letters of recommendation for me (there is no way for me to know though). Also I have 2 math teachers who (i am pretty sure) would write good letters about my achievement.</p>
<p>I don't know if this helps: I have taken (or tested out of) 5 college classes at the university near my high school (1 freshman, 3 sophomore, and 1 graduate level course, got all A's). I skipped out of college calculus, i took multivariable calculus (summer after freshman year), i skipped out of linear algebra (sophomore year), took ordinary differential equations (summer after sophomore year), and introduction to complex analysis (graduate level course summer after junior year). </p>
<p>I am an indian male and my father was my first ancestor to attend college in the united states and he attended Princeton University (under grad) and MIT (grad) also my sister is now an undergrad at Princeton. <-- i am fairly certain this section is not useful/helpful.</p>
<p>do i stand a chance making it to a place like princeton, MIT, or other ivy league schools ( i know MIT is not ivy league)??? comments are welcome, and thank you in advance!</p>
