Competitive for all. Good luck. I take it you're from Quebec?

babeexphat

nope B.C. why do u think that? haha

Nitrox

Ahh, Vancouver Aquarium - I get it. I was assuming Québécoise because of your French language. I spent 3 summers in Vancouver at a Hockey camp and 1 in Ontario. Used to live in Montreal.

babeexphat

"- Hosted a TV Show for about a year and a half

What? You went to Korea to host that and wrote the scripts at KBS Studio?
Something smells fishy, unless you're a Korean celeb... WHO ARE YOU? lol

babeexphat

so no i dont go to korea every week to film it lol
ya im a local celeb... uhmm i do speak english for the tv shows i just put on korean music videos so i'm sending an episode in with my supplements

I think Flippy has your chances about right. None of them seems to be exactly a safety tho. Do you have some?

With the details of the TV show I don't know how impressive it is- make sure you provide evidence that someone actually watched the show or that it made some sort of impact on the community, or at least on yourself. Maybe you can talk about how you grew from it. Piano and trumpet with prizes etc are important too, esp if you are gifted enough to send CDs.

Problem with these chances threads is that essays and recommendations cannot be evaluated.

babeexphat

no im not putting in safeties cuz if i dont get into the above schools, im just gonna go to mcgill in canada (im canadian)

yes people watched it, its popular in the lower mainland, and i wrote my long essay about the impact it has had on me

thanks everyone!! anyone else?

Actually I think Flippy is off (Columbia weak match, Penn slight reach??????)

My assessment:


-Dartmouth: High Match/ Slight Reach
-Brown: High Match/ Slight Reach
-Johns Hopkins: Match
-Washing Univ. in St. Louis: High Match
-Duke: High Match
-U Penn: High Match/ Slight Reach
-Univ. Chicago (Early Action): Match
-HYPS (oh, what the heck haha): Slight Reach/ Reach
-Columbia: High Match/ Slight Reach

CNI

Wow you guys cannot be serioous, columbia as a high match? HYPS as slight reaches? First off, your EC's are just fine. Not spectacular, nor are they weak. The problem lies in the fact that 1) you're international, 2) you're asian(not putting an ethnicity won't matter bc. your last name will most likely give away your race anyway, and 3) Grades/ Test Scores are good, but you copped out by taking Korean as your 3rd SAT II. This won't be very good for Harvard and Princeton. So, here is my opinion:

-Dartmouth- high match
-Brown- high match
-Johns Hopkins-high match
-Washing Univ. in St. Louis-high match
-Duke- slight reach
-U Penn- slight reach
-Univ. Chicago (Early Action)- match (Depends on your essays and Recs)
-HYPS (oh, what the heck haha)- Harvard and Princeton No. Yale and Stanford are both reaches.
-Columbia- Reach

Joint Medical Program:
-HPME (Northwestern)- reach
-PLME (Brown)- reject
-Union/Albany- in
-RPI/Albany- in
-Boston Univ- match


Why not go to McGIll???????????????????? Tuition is so cheap for Canadians, and McGill is a top-rate medical university.

Oh and one more thing. Just submit your SAT.

babeexphat

AHH whats a strong match & a weak match?!
and any more chances?
and yeah, please take into consideration that i AM international (canadian) and im asian. thanks for all the honest opinions

slipper1234

Ummm...Dartmouth and Brown are more selective than Duke and Penn...and not far from Columbia at all.
