Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I just got deferred from MIT, here we go with my stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 4.03W, 3.72 UW
SAT: 650 V 780 M
SAT II: 700 Writing, 740 Chem, 800 Math IIC
AP tests: Chemistry 5, Calc AB 5, English 4</p>

<p>Side note-- I lived in a foreign country and I moved to California during the summer after sophomore year . Would it look bad because I never continued and Extra Curricular for more than 2 years??</p>

<p>Extra Currics (mostly service....): </p>

<p>-VP and co-founder of KIWIN'S community club at my new school (11,12)
-Group Leader of Connect Club (I taught English to orphans in a different country) (9,10)
-Varsity Tennis (only 10-> but I had to move...will this look bad?)
-Cared for disabled toddlers in foreign country during last summer when I visited..
-Science Olympiad Biology Events Captain (12)
-Literary Magazine Club (just a member who contributed a couple creative writings for this club, but unfortunately I don't have the magazine. Is it not worth putting this down? ) (10)</p>

<p>Awards (the area I'm lacking most...)
-Distinction of High honors at my foreign school..
-AP Scholar (I don't know if I should put this down..)</p>

<p>No work experience. No research.
Family-- Father and brother (MIT)
Sister (Yale, Harvard Law)
I know legacy won't really help at all. But still =/ </p>

<p>Do I even have a chance at:
Columbia, NYU, U Chicago, Northwestern, Brown, Stanford (definitely impossible but parents are making me apply)</p>

<p>I plan to write my essay about all the different people I have met as a result of moving to a foreign country, and how I pursue service by co-founding a club which has grown to over 100 members.. </p>

<p>What do you think? Even a chance?</p>

<p>my opinion:</p>

<p>columbia, stanford, mit-huge reach
brown-reach
chicago, northwestern-match/reach
nyu-in</p>

<p>with a 1430 and such splendid display of community involvement you stand a chance with the ivies. </p>

<p>discouragement shouldn't set in at this stage. GIve them all you've got. you've got great Sat II's and you'll get in Brown.</p>

<p>Try Washington U in St Louis. that's a great place cos they really recognise strong social work and community devotion. apply for their scholly's too.</p>

<p>ivies are no problem with God on your side. Just pray; you don't know how, but he does. Sit back and watch Him work out your future.</p>

<p>You feeling me?</p>

4

<p>which god? vishnu or jesus or mohammed ?!?!?</p>

5

<p>Thanks for your input guys, it really helps me out a lot.</p>

6

<p>I say you have a very good shot at all of those except Columbia (slight reach) and Stanford (reach..but hey, you never know). Best luck to you.</p>

7

<p>Jesus is God.
He is real and he has helped me out in more ways than I could imagine.
I am an international student, you see, but I am applying to USC, WUSTL, IIT and UM.</p>

<p>Admissions and schollys are sure for me. Ivies would have been the best but they do not have strong archi programs.</p>

<p>I rely completely on Jesus.</p>

8

<p>Hell yeah man jesus hooked me up, ya know He always hooks me up!
Heavenly father? More like heavenly Brotha!</p>

9

<p>I believe in Jesus.....:)
it seems like you guys think brown is easier to get into than columbia?? (from my observations...) I thought it was the other way around.. hrm..
anyways also if anyone wants to help me out and read my essay, please PM :)
Thanks for your comments..</p>

<p>do you have an interest in math at all? if you do go MIT. and like some of the others said, look into brown and cornell.</p>

11

<p>You need a safety or two. You are qualified for the schools that you have listed, but so are a few thousand other applicants to each.</p>

12

<p>My safeties are UCI and UCSD,
I also applied to UCLA and UCB but i dont consider those safties.</p>
