Best of luck dudes!

And congrats to those of you who are receiving excellent news today. Hopefully we'll see you next year at Yale. In the meantime, you can get a better idea about life at Yale by checking out this blog by Yale freshmen: Timothy Dwight We'll see you at Bulldog Days. Congrats!

Deferred. Stats soon. Not upset at all. This means I'm a near lock for Northwestern (which I prefer to Yale anyways)

In the words of Howard Dean, BYAH!

Good luck all!

• Counselor Rec: I dunno. He's a nice guy.

[figment42]

Decision: Deferred


Objective:

• SAT I (breakdown): 780M, 730CR, 740W (2250)
• ACT: None
• SAT II: Physics 800, MathII 780, US History 720
• Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 4.0
• Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): 1/504
• AP (place score in parenthesis):Human Geography (4), World History (5), Music Theory (5), US History (4), English Language (5)  really proud of this, Physics B (5), Microeconomics (5), Macroeconomics (5), Calculus AB (5)
• IB (place score in parenthesis): N/A
• Senior Year Course Load: AP Psychology, AP Statistics, AP Chemistry, AP European History (aka hell), AP English Literature, Chamber Orchestra
• Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): uh… National Merit commended, do violin competitions count?

Subjective:

• Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Violin is my biggie. Youth Orchestra concertmaster during our Carnegie Hall performance, now play principal Viola, lots of random small-ish violin competition awards, played my concerto in China with my school orchestra for this pre-olympic cultural festival. Jazz Band Bass guitarist for 2 years, Mu Alpha Theta (Team Captain), Tri-M (fouder/President)…
• Job/Work Experience: I set up my own business model in junction with a violin shop about three hours away. I basically work as a local contact/sales representative selling and renting violins to students (and even a few professionals) in my area (SO much better than one of those minimum wage jobs!). I also teach violin anywhere from 6 to 8 hours a week.
• Volunteer/Community service: Not much here. Most of my extra time is spent working or practicing… I did spend a few days in New Orleans with Habitat for Humanity though. I think I have something like 130 hours total.
• Summer Activities: Pretty much everything I already put. I’m either at music camp or I’m working, teaching, practicing, or taking online classes. Last summer I got to go to China (so amazing!) and the summer before that was NYC for Carnegie Hall.
• Essays: eh. I didn’t really like the one I ended up submitting since I wrote them so last minute. My big one was about my first student fainting during his first lesson. My supplemental one was about my obsession with hurricanes.
• Teacher Recommendation: one great, the other was pretty generic
• Counselor Rec: awesome. I got it from my assistant principle (who’s son bought a violin from me and is also one of my students. It was glowing =])
• Additional Rec: I sent one in with my music supplement from my Youth Orchestra director. It was alright.
• Interview: Didn’t get one

[b]Other[ /b]

• Applied for Financial Aid?: YES
• Intended Major: Physics/Engineering/undecided
• State (if domestic applicant): Florida
• School Type: Large Public
• Ethnicity: White as it gets
• Gender: Male
• Income Bracket: Upper Middle
• Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): Zilch =/

Reflection

• Strengths: I feel like I have a demonstrated passion for music with a strong transcript and scores in their range
• Weaknesses: No major awards and next to nothing in the area I listed as my intended major. My essays could have been better…
• Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: see above ^

General Comments: Good Luck!!
