<p>-Davanza’s (10): cashier during the summer. that’s it. about 150 hours</p>

<p>OTHER</p>

<p>-Commonapp essay was probably one of the best i’ve ever written, about volunteering at the free clinic, and why the country needs universal health care</p>

<p>-Supplement essay was pretty good too, told what i learned from my friend’s funeral about not judging people based on superficial labels</p>

<p>-First rec form went to academic decathlon coach and history/economics teacher, with whom i’ve spent most of my time in high school. He’s been teaching for 35+ years, and writes awesome reccomendations</p>

<p>-Second went to spanish teacher and NHS advisor, whom i also know pretty well. he’s a relatively young teacher, though, and isn’t as experienced in writing recs.</p>

<p>-If it matters, i think another person from my school is applying to harvard and princeton. he’s second in the class and has a 2310 SAT score, but with less impressive ECs. Also, a girl from my school has already been accepted to Georgetown (Walsh School)</p>

<p>Thanks again for helping me out, I really appreciate it!</p>

<p>ok, so, apparently, the title isn’t working. :)</p>

<p>thanks, NewEngSocSciMan! anyone else care to assess my odds?</p>

<p>Acadec, agree with poster above. Good luck!</p>

<p>Oh jeez, this seems so stellar I want to say this is a BS thread, but it doesn’t seem like one to me. You’re the only other person I’ve met who has done Acadec, debate, and MUN (and you’ve done a far better job at each than I have). In at most (I only say this bc Ivies are impossible to chance). Good luck!</p>

<p>no, not a BS thread. but thanks for your response! how’s your AD team looking this year?</p>

<p>CHRIST your extracurriculars are amazing beyond belief…pure amazingness. UW GPA Is low, but your courseload looks rigorous as heck, so it doenst matter, and your rank is high enough too. 'NewEngSocMan" apparently doesnt know very well the strenght of your EC’s and thus severely mischanced you - here are my chances;</p>

<p>-Princeton: Reach
-Georgetown (SFS): High-Match/Reach
-Harvard: High-Match/Reach
-Claremont McKenna: Low-Match
-Brown: Match/High-Match
-Williams: Match
-Wesleyan: Safety-ish
-Bucknell: Safety
-U of Utah: Safety</p>

<p>You certainly are an amazing and well-accomplished person. I’m sure you will enjoy even greater success throughout your life. Good luck on your acceptances!</p>

<p>Our team? Ha, you wont be seeing us at the Nationals. Maybe state (we were highest scorers for division II, but we SERIOUSLY got lucky). I think the fact that you’re from Utah is really going to help. It’s only the GPA that might hurt, but from your activities, I think they might gloss over it.</p>

<p>thanks! which state are you from?</p>

<p>and, does anyone else have a response?</p>

<p>California</p>

<p>lol i think u have a great chance, depends on how hard ur classes r etc. how is harvard a high match and princeton a reach?</p>
