2

<p>Any safety recommendations anyone?</p>

3

<p>What kind of school are you looking for?</p>

4

<p>Also what’s your intended major?</p>

5

<p>Well I am also low income. I am looking fr a school that offers enough financial aid. I also want my ideal school to be in a metropolitan area, and hve a lot of activities. I don’t know what my major is yet. How about you?</p>

6

<p>Sorry I didn’t read it right. Disregard the comment above</p>

7

<p>Low GPA might be your biggest problem.</p>

<p>Is your HS feeder school to top universities?
(30-40% goes to top 20 colleges?)</p>

8

<p>You took some higher level math courses but you almost failed AP Calculus… Strange</p>

9

<p>■■■■■ ■■■■■ ■■■■■ ■■■■■. how come you started 6 clubs and president in all the clubs??? acting like Hitler ? 8 leaderships? I’ve never seen anything like this before.</p>

10

<p>That’s outrageous. If all of that is true, I don’t see how you couldn’t get rejected at any school. I really don’t see how that is all possible…</p>

11

<p>This sounds quite amazing. If you write an essay on how you overcame obstacles ( in this case poverty) you should be good to go.</p>

12

<p>I don’t know how, but how come you can win this much competitions and have a lower GPA?</p>

<p>Guys, It’s just another ■■■■■ thread. It is impossible do to all these things. He listed all the things he heard in CC. just my two cents, starting one club will get your ass kicked. let alone 7 . maybe you’re the only member of the clubs.</p>

13

<p>@2pre, I didn’t fail calculus lol I took it in 6th grade</p>

<p>@girlincross, research university, co-Ed, good at STEM and not too small</p>

<p>@20more, I think at least 55%. I might have to ask my counselor</p>

<p>@Drexter, actually not a ■■■■■ post. If you want further details of each EC I do. I could simply copy you my resume in pm. I started everything actually through student council and cumulative leadership roles with good friends of mine. </p>

<p>My in ended major is Biology or Engineering</p>

14

<p>I sense a ■■■■■ post…</p>

15

<p>Yeah I might have to call BS on this. </p>

<p>If for some reason this is true, you should have no problem getting into at least one or more of those schools…</p>

16

<p>How do you get a 4 on Calc AB but a 5 on Calc BC?</p>

17

<p>@RunDevilRun, to be honest Im not sure. I dont lie to impress about it so I really did a 4 but that was my first AP test</p>

18

<p>@Etuck24, okay thank you. Do you feel like the GPA will hurt me big time or the ECs and other parts of my app will make it up?</p>

19

<p>here is my chances. match it after you get your decision:</p>

<p>Ivy Leagues: maybe wait listed at most.
Duke: Rejection
Stanford: 50/50 chance of rejection or wait listed.
MIT : very low chance of getting accepted <3-4%
Rice : rejected (depends on your essay. if solid, you might end up wait listed or accepted. not sure)
Northwestern : Probable rejection
Vanderbilt : may get waitlisted
UChicago :
UMich : accepted
Georgia Tech : accepted
UCLA : accepted
UC Berkeley : not sure
Johns Hopkins : Rejected.</p>

<p>Your GPA will kill your chances at top universities. Most selective universities which consider first generation consider after 3.6 (4.0 scale). you should have concentrate more on GPA rather that ECA. </p>

<p>This is my personal opinion. Remember I’m not an admission officer.</p>

20

<p>@Drexter, thank you for your list! I’ll try to see if I can match it if I come back to CC during March results.
By the way, our honor roll is 3.3 in case you’re wondering so my GPA isn’t too terrible</p>
