<p>Your “likely” things are misleading. You don’t know if you’ll accomplish all that yet, so why mention them?
Did you place at ARML?
I have a slight suspicion that you are a ■■■■■.</p>

3

<p>I’m not a ■■■■■… Which part is unbelievable to you? If I can prove then I’ll try my best.</p>

<p>I was on the A team of ARML in my state and I cannot specify if I placed or not :open_mouth: anonymous purpose.</p>

<p>I mention it because I’m only a 2nd Semester Junior and >50% likely should be on my College Application/ on my QuestBridge app.</p>

4

<p>Haha a lot of your stats/etc. seems vague and not very legit at a glance? I just don’t know ANYONE who has done nearly as much as you.</p>

5

<p>Wait okay I’ve heard the comment “doing too much” way too often from my friends</p>

<p>Would that be a bad thing in college admission process/ quest bridge? Since, colleges always say that GPA> ECs and ECs only if you can handle academics</p>

6

<p>don’t spread yourself so thin.
for instance, all of my ECs/clubs focus on my interests: math, science, and music. i have (decently) significant accomplishments in all of my ECs.</p>

7

<p>Did you say you already took and scored 5 in APChem and AP Biology?
"AP (place score in parentheses):

  1. Bio 5
  2. Chem 5…"</p>

<p>If so why are youlisting those courses again in the Senioryear?</p>

<p>"Senior Year Course Load:

  1. Dual enrollment Math @ local university on Advanced Calculus 1 /or Numerical Methods programming with Matlab/Mathematica
  2. AP Chemistry
  3. AP Biology…"</p>
8

<p>You know you can’t predict stuff that will happen in the future. For example, Intel science and math contest is VERY competitive.</p>

9

<p>Berkeley does not have an early plan and you cannot apply to all those schools early. I am pretty sure this is a ■■■■■ post.</p>

10

<p>You are a very acomplished student, and I think you would have a descent chance at all the schools you mentioned. There is just one thing you should note:</p>

<p>Do you have a compelling “story” illustrating that you have overcome hardships to get to where you are?</p>

11

<p>I think he is a ■■■■■ because he is making a chance thread filled with speculation.</p>
