What are my chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello everyone! My name is Isabella and I just found this site after searching on Google. I am currently in twelfth grade and I attend a public high school in NY. Although it may be futile at this late in the year, I'll post my stats and ask you for your opinions... just for fun and to ease my nervousness! :P</p>

<p>I applied to Yale SCEA and I was deferred to RD.</p>

<p>To start, I guess I can post my grades and classes:</p>

<p>Class Rank and Other Trivial Numbers :P

SAT I: 2280 composite. One sitting. (800 Math, 780 Reading, 700 Writing)
SAT II: 800 Math II (took in ninth grade), 750 French with Listening (took in 11th grade), 780 World History (took in ninth grade)
ACT: 36 composite. (36 Math, 36 Science, 36 English, 35 Reading)

<p>The Fun Stuff - My Activities!
Tennis - 2nd singles freshman year, and continued as 1st singles throughout high school. Named MVP, Captain, won state awards, etc. (I think I may have been recruited but I didn't want to pursue tennis in college at the D1 level)
Class President all four years
Editor in Chief of award-winning school literary magazine for 2 years
Established school Hispanic club, president and founder.</p>

<p>Work Experience
Interned at NYC science labs for four years and had work published professionally.
Interned at the New Yorker for a month (I have a family friend :P)</p>

<p>Essays
I think they were generally great, as well as my recommendations. But it's all up in the air and subjective so who knows?!</p>

<p>Other
I'm a sun-loving female from New York. I enjoy vacationing to Nicaragua, which is where my roots developed. Both of my parents work full time and I fall under the 50k-100k income range. I plan on pursuing science and English in college, and maybe French if I have the time. My grandfather attended Princeton and my mother attended Princeton, as well. My father attended Tufts and his parents didn't go to college. </p>

<p>Colleges I Applied To:
Yale SCEA (Deferred)
MIT (Accepted)
Harvard
Princeton
UPenn (Likely Letter)
Columbia (Likely Letter)
Dartmouth (Likely Letter)
Barnard
Tufts
Johns Hopkins BME</p>

<p>I’m sick and tired of the mess you made me - Never gonna catch me woah oh woah!</p>

<p>Between your excellent stats, incredible ECs (the New Yorker? That’s like my dream!), and the extra boost URM status gives you if there’s any doubt, I’d say your chances are great at all these schools.</p>

<p>Thanks for replying :P</p>

<p>After seeing this it looks like I have no chance at yale…</p>

6

<p>really good</p>

7

<p>Uh…ya…just by looking at your schedule and your grades I would say you have very good chances.</p>

<p>Aw. Don’t say that! Yale’s just poopy and unpredictable - MIT took me. To add to the trivial numbers section, I forgot to post my AP Scores:
Bio (5), World History (5), Stat (5), Calc AB (5) Chem (5), US History (4), Calc BC (5), Enviro (5), Studio Art (4), Physics (4), Euro (skipped), English Lang (skipped), French Lang (5), Micro (skipped), Macro (skipped), Psych (5). </p>

<p>I’ve taken sixteen APs from 9th-11th, and I’ve tested and earned nine 5’s and three 4’s.</p>

<p>You and I… must make a pact. We must bring salvation back.</p>

<p>Accepted: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, UPenn, Columbia, Dartmouth, MIT, Barnard, Johns Hopkins BME. Waitlisted: Tufts</p>
