1

<p>bumbumbum I'll get to the point :)</p>

<p>Female
Asian. unfortunately.</p>

<p>Colleges (for ease, i didn't include safeties. only reaches!)
Brown U
Cornell U
Dartmouth C
Northwestern U IL
U Calif Berkeley (out of state)
U Chicago
U Michigan (out of state)
Washington U St. L.
if possible, could you help me narrow this list down or suggest safeties/possible matches? thank you so much :)</p>

<p>Intended Major: something mathematics related :)
also economics. perhaps a joint major ex) Cornell</p>

<p>Unweighted: 3.71
Weighted: not sure, but all honors, 2 APs, all As except a B+ in AP History [my school uses a different scale and i'm not sure how to calculate it on a 5.0 scale]
UC GPA: 4.75? (I'm not sure if I calculated correctly)
Class Rank: top 10% out of a class of almost 600 students (only percentages are given)
[i take all honors classes, when possible]
Senior Classes:
AP Calc BC
AP Lit
AP French
AP Stats
Physics H
Comp Sci C++</p>

<p>SAT: two times but highest are 730 CR; 800 M; 750 W => 2280
I might take it again because i keep on getting 8s on the essay
ACT: 35. 8 writing HAHA, 35 english, 36 math
SAT II: 800 math2c, 740 chinese, 740 biology, 800 chemistry
AP: 5 AP Calc (AB&BC), 4 Chem, 4 US Hist, 3 Psych (should i hide this?)
my school only allows students to start taking aps junior year, max 3. i only took two, and i self studied for Chem and PSych... oops?
in total my school offers 9 AP classes</p>

<p>Ecs (only the "important" ones):
-Tennis: 2 years JV 2 year varsity
-Winter Track: 3 years JV (not including senior year)
-Spring Track: 3 years JV (not including senior year)
-NHS 11, 12
-Robotics 11

-Choir 10, 11, 12
A cappella, Womens Choir 10, 11 (select group of 100 people out of a school of over 2000)</p>

<p>Recommendations: history and chemistry teachers, should both be pretty good although i can't really tell since we have huge classes and no students and teachers get really close</p>

<p>Employment: none, except for tutoring once a week at an elementary school, except i never got a certificate</p>

<p>Honors/Awards:
-top 10% score in Chemistry League (there were 30 people in the state)
-Piano Guild Medals (Sonatina, Early Bach, Founders, 5 Year National Honor Roll)

<p>Hey ... I'm more than happy to chance you, especially since we're going for the same schools, can you chance me as well?</p>

<p>This is the link to my stats:
<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/538677-please-chance-me-i-d-really-really-appreciate.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/538677-please-chance-me-i-d-really-really-appreciate.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>First off, you are applying to the best schools in the U.S. Your SAT score is admirable, but your Reading score does seem a tad low for a school like Brown. Your SAT IIs are also extremely strong. For the extracurriculars, you do quite a bit, but the ECs do seem somewhat standard. Make sure you convey your passions for what you do, even if it means talking about running or singing ... they -- especially Brown -- like passionate people. Your GPA is good but not impressive, as most selective schools do like UW 3.8s or higher. You can rectify that with good essays, though. Awards seem skippy ... but awards don't really matter in the long run ... especially for sports if you don't plan on running for your school. Your courseload is also challenging, but schools don't reject you just because you got a 3 on the Psych exam. </p>

<p>Overall you're a pretty solid candidate. </p>

<p>Chances: (drumroll, please ... oh wait this isn't the real thing because I'm not an admissions officer ... so don't count on what I say ... I'm just saying based on what I know:
- U Cali Berkeley (OOS) - Reach (they will hit you hard on the UW 3.71 but your high test scores may offset your GPA)
- U Mich (OOS) - Reach (Ditto)
- U Chicago - Slight reach/match (make sure you do well on the essays ... they're difficult!!)
- Dartmouth - High reach (it's an ivy ... very unpredictable)
- Brown U - High reach/reach (another ivy ... very unpredictable)
- Cornell U - match (scores should put you in)
- Northwestern U - Match (I think they'll like your ACT score)
- WUSTL - unknown (I don't know this school very well ... sorry) </p>

<p>Make sure you include some safeties ... state schools from your own state ... with your states you should also get some merit money from those schools. </p>

<p>Also, as a side note, U Chicago is famous for its econ program ... and good luck iwth your applications this year!!!</p>
