Tell me if you need anything else?
Your stats are the same as any other Ivy League athletic conference applicant. ECs are overrated. BTW, how does Science Olympiad (which I’m involved in) have a “vice president”? Sounds like a made up title.
And a requirement of admittance is knowing how to spell Princeton.
EC’s seem fluffy and half of the stuff you said either seems made up because you dont provide enough information about them or that it hasnt happened yet, your GPA isnt Ivey level either. but hey, you never know you might make it.
PRINCETON
Did I forget to mention that I’m in a county with a 5.0 scale for weighted, and that the average weighted gpa is about a 3.4x
Overall very prestigious county
@lilcheese - “Also do piano and have played at Carnegie Hall and Princetown University.”
Care to tell us more about these two wonderful experiences? How did you get to play at “Carnegie Hall” (I suspect it’s “Weill Recital Hall” to be more accurate) and Princetown (sic) University? Did you by any chance get to play at “Carnegie Hall” via “American Protege Competition”?
it’s a program called the Youth Music Fest @TiggerDad
You sound like a sophomore…I think you should wait to get your scores back before trying to chance yourself. There’s still too much you don’t know.
Your involvement in machine learning and artificial intelligence is great. Puts you close to the top. Make sure to highlight that above anything else. Just raise your SAT score, and you should be good to go! Best of Luck!
Ryanrose, you’re such a pessimist. Your comment reeks of jealousy.
have you been to TOC or broke at NSDA nats? if not, try harder
unless you have a hook getting into any of the ivies is going to be tough with these ECs.
Is that sarcasm orrrr? @sh00keth @theloniusmonk
Have you broke at NSDA nats?
