Worth applying to ivies?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Do you guys think I have a fair shot? I'm looking at UPenn especially.</p>

<p>Sorry for all the vagueness; I want to stay anonymous</p>

<p>32 ACT, 34 superscored (I know they don't superscore, but many look at highest subsections)
800 math 2, 750+ on a science SAT II</p>

<p>3.9 GPA unweighted , private school</p>

<p>More than the most rigorous class schedule (4.5 years of english, math up to Calculus 3 and AP stats, 3.5 years of humanities (school plans for everyone to get 3, I doubled up...), 5 years of science, 3 years of span (up to span 4, only thing that I didn't do 12th grade))</p>

<p>ECS:
Entered Siemens competition (math project... not many of them accepted :/), giving presentation at a section math conference, submitting paper to journal.</p>

<p>More than 100 hours of volunteer hours per year. Elementary school Engineering tutor, tutor of the state (x2) for the engineering competition.... translated popular educational videos over internet to spanish (100 hours+, maybe it will make up 3 years of spanish...?).... and some other things.</p>

<p>Competing in a college engineering competition as the only qualifying high school team</p>

<p>Leadership in 3 major teams (no sports due to required after school commitment) the teams are national forensic league teams and math league, leadership in NHS</p>

<p>A lot of tutor experience and soccer referee</p>

<p>Sorry it is so general. I also only want to include things that may affect decisions.</p>

<p>School doesn’t rank, but top 10%</p>

<p>you have a shot 10char</p>

<p>I never said it was an award.</p>

<p>Dude, you will be a competitive applicant no matter where you apply. It is worth a shot absolutely if you like the school, but just remember ivies and other great schools are hard to get into for everyone. Good luck. </p>

<p>Oh yeah and my sister got into penn and had lower stats and probably ecs. Just letting you know</p>

6

<p>And yes it does count. You have to write an 18 page paper that takes a lot of time and effort. If you join a sports team but you don’t win a game, you still put that on your activity list.</p>

<p>Hey, dude bumping every twenty minutes. If anyone else responds, you’re going to get answers like the above. You are competitive for the top schools in the nation. That is it. Nothing different can really be said.</p>

15

<p>Ok that’s all. Thanks for the confirmation. I am mostly just concerned with the ACT score.</p>

16

<p>Elementary school Engineering tutor? what elementary school has engineering courses?</p>

17

<p>It’s an EC offered for kids in elementary school. Search first lego league if interested. It’s a pretty awesome program.</p>
