what WERE my chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Okay, so I'm a senior, and I'm curious. Just how accurate are all of your predictions? I'll give you my stats and my schools, and you predict where I got accepted/rejected/waitlisted/whatever.
I have another CC account, but I made this one so there's no cheating ;)</p>

<p>Stats:
SAT: 790 M, 770 CR, 760 W (2320)
SAT IIs: 800 Math II, 740 US History, 730 Chem
GPA: 4.57 w, 4.0 uw
Rank: School doesn't rank
APs: US History and Psychology- 5s</p>

<p>Other stats:
-Varsity Field hockey 3 years
-Volunteering ~200 hours with disabled children each year (Volunteer of the Year, 2005)
-Dance for 4 years
-Fencing for 4 years
-French Honor Society 3 years, treasurer Grade 12
-National Honor Society 2 years
-National Merit Scholarship Finalist
-Bloustein Scholarship Nomination (for top 10% of students in NJ, but I can't accept it because I'm not applying to schools in NJ)
-Eco Club 4 years
-took Sustainable Animal Husbandry at Cornell this summer (got an A, I want to be a vet)
-I feel like I'm forgetting something... oh well...</p>

<p>Essays: Common App essay was about my volunteer job, and how it changed my view of disabled children
Teacher Recs: Both teachers know me well
Counselor Rec: She's kind of dumb...
Hook (if any): None...</p>

<p>Location/Person:
State or Country: NJ
School Type: #11 public school in state
Ethnicity: White
Gender: F</p>

<p>Courseload:
Toughest possible offered by school (except Chorus Grade 9-11, and one semester of Sociology senior year because I took the only half-year Honors course the first semester)</p>

<p>Midyear Report:
AP Bio- A
AP Calc BC- B
AP French- A
AP English- A
AP US Gov- A
H. Classics in World Literature- A
(Gym- A ;))</p>

<p>And the schools:
Yale (SCEA)
Brown
Cornell, CAS
Vassar
Lehigh
Lafayette </p>

<p>A nice short list for you to predict.
If you have any questions, ask away, and I'll tell you how I did (for real) in about a week.</p>

<p>Yale - Reject
Brown - Waitlist
Cornell - Accepted
Vassar - Accepted
Lehigh - Accepted
Lafayette - Accepted</p>

3

<p>Oh, and I forgot one thing</p>

<p>Intended Major: either Cognitive Science or Neuroscience and Behavior, depending on the college</p>

4

<p>I'll go in at all.</p>

5

<p>Annnnd, as I was just driving to pick up my little brother, I realize I might have confused people:</p>

<p>Chorus was a ninth period class; it was after school. So my entire schedule was Honors/APs, but Chorus was taken during an optional class period (bringing my W GPA down)</p>

6

<p>My guesses...
Yale -- (defferred, waitlisted)
Brown -- accepted
Cornell -- accepted
Lehigh -- accepted
Lafayette -- accepted</p>

<p>Hopefully you got in them all!</p>

<p>The only reason to do this exercise is that you had unexpected outcomes in your college admission cycle. You probably got into Yale, and were rejected from one or more of the less competitive schools. Your data would indicate that you are competitive everywhere, so acceptance to any or all would not be surprising.</p>

<p>kayrlis, I waved my magic wand and found the results</p>

<p>Yale--Deferred/url</a></p>

<p>Cornell--[Waitlisted[/url</a>]</p>

<p>Vassar--[url=<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=2020244#post2020244%5DAccpeted"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=2020244#post2020244]Accpeted&lt;/a&gt;](&lt;a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=2048848#post2048848%5DWaitlisted%5B/url"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=2048848#post2048848) <a href="Will%20attend">url=http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=2065715#post2065715&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I couldn't find a post but I bet you got into Lehigh.</p>

<p>you sneak! :p</p>

<p>ruining my fun!</p>

10

<p>Most people on this site this time of year would have predicted you in at all.</p>

11

<p>You should not be able to predict the above results without knowing high school profile (how many students get into yale from there for instance), legacy, income.</p>

12

<p>Okay so tell us already!</p>

<p>Bill<em>h</em>Pike was right:</p>

<p>Yale- Deferred/Rejected
Brown- Rejected
Cornell- Waitlisted
Vassar- Accpeted
Lafayette- Accepted
Lehigh- Accepted</p>
