<p>I spend hours each day playing basketball and researching the stock market. I am small for my age and have to spend hours fine tuning my skill in order to compete with kids my age. My hard work has paid off, and I plan to write my essay about this.</p>

<p>Colleges im considering:</p>

<p>UT Austin
UT at San Antonio
Rice University
NYU
USC
Stanford(High reach?)
Colombia(High reach?)
University of Chicago—received rec from head of econ department
Berkley</p>

<p>Please chance and don’t hold back if some of these choices are irrational.
also recall my passions are economics and basketball</p>

<p>I will honestly chance everyone back</p>

<p>UT Austin: Match
UT at San Antonio: Match
Rice University: High Match-Low Reach
NYU: Match
USC: Match-High Match
Stanford: Low Reach
Colombia: Low Reach
University of Chicago: Low Reach
Berkley: High Match</p>

<p>You have great chances at these schools. Stanford, Columbia, and UChicago are reaches for everyone, but you will probably get into one of them.</p>

NYU-low match

Rice University: High Match
NYU: Match
USC: Match-High Match

UChicago- low reach</p>

<p>I think those recs and college classes are really going to help so stress that! Your GPA is a little low but not out of the range. Good luck! Chance back please! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1577460-chance-blue-devil-duke-ed-hopeful-receive-chance-return.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1577460-chance-blue-devil-duke-ed-hopeful-receive-chance-return.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>opened this post because of the title: “Chance this Indian boy please” :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>btw, it’s Columbia, not Colombia
school vs country? </p>

<p>UT Austin: safety
UT at San Antonio: safety
Rice University: match
NYU: Match
USC: match
Stanford: high reach
Colombia: high reach
University of Chicago: reach</p>

<p>when you get to the top tier schools, none of them will be a “match” for anyone, so just make sure that you really show who you are through your essays</p>

<p>good luck!</p>
