Bump, someone.....

You really got Illinois State scholar with 5 tests? Wow.

Anyway, your chances aren't bad. Don't get your heart set on Yale or anything, but it's definitely in the cards. I doubt you'll get rejected EA, but you might get deferred. Just hope for the best.

Why are you looking for chances after you've applied? It's too late for you to make any changes to your application, and nothing anyone could post in this thread could possibly have any effect on your application as it currently stands. Just wait until December 15th. Then you'll know your chances once and for all.

Illinois State scholar is for ACT score and class rank, not the ap award.

Oh, I see. We don't have a CA equivalent, so I didn't know something like that exists.

"SMART award in state for math."

This award is kind of a joke. Eight people at my school got "First Place in the State for Math."

Not that I'm not going to be happy as well putting down a first place award at the state level in math.
