Hi … I’ll chance you … will you chance me too? http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/538677-please-chance-me-i-d-really-really-appreciate-2.html.

I’ll start out by saying you are the MOST impressive person I’ve seen on CC by far. You clearly are talented, and judging based on your “strange” request – you seem to be a really humble and nice guy who can get along with virtually anyone. Your GPA is perfect, and you definitely challenged yourself with AP classes. In fact, you’re gonna get credit for those scores! Your SAT is very very good – one of the top — and so are your SAT Subjects. Don’t bother sending in your ACT scores (those are awesome too) — save few bucks by just sending the SATs! Your ECs are very nice as well, because you did a few activities, but you really really seemed to like what you did, and you demonstrate leadership in those ECs. To do lab work as WUSTL for such a long time shows commitment. Also, your honors and awards are probably what will set you apart from your competition. To get an 9 on the AIME is a very very difficult thing to accomplish. You should be immensely proud of yourself … you are one of the best in the US! Btw did you get into USAMO? Please PM me and tell me how you are able to go so far! I can’t even qualify for the AIME … I feel like an idiot!! Anywho, great job on that. And to top it all off – you must be a really great chess player!

Overall, you’re a highly impressive candidate. You will go far in life, with your genuine humility. Really, you’re a nice guy, but you should be proud of what you’ve accomplished in high school. (Right now, I’m shaking my head in amazement/awe/jealousy)

Chances:
Rice: In w/ a match for full scholarship (I knew someone who had a 3.9-ish and similar SAT who got this)
Duke: In w/ at least some merit scholarship if not full ride
UChicago: Safety w/ some merit possible (They’ll like your personality as well)
Any other Top 10-20 schools: If you don’t get admitted, I’ll shoot myself.

Since I’m a MI guy, I’ll chance you for UMich:
UMich: In + Honors Program admission + match for full ride scholarship (I think they might beg you to go there … GO BLUE!!!)

Good luck … for the merit scholarships! I really hope you do get some. You deserve to be recognized for your work.

Btw … please chance me and PM me!!!
