<p>SO my colleges…

<p>In my uneducated opinion:</p>

<p>Accepted
UCs
Georgetown</p>

<p>Probably
Duke
Cornell</p>

<p>Waitlisted
Brown</p>

<p>Rejected
Columbia</p>

<p>Remember, these are just predictions, so don’t take any of these seriously.
UCSD: Safety
UCLA: Match
UCB: Match
Georgetown: Low Match
Duke: Slight Reach
Columbia: Reach
Cornell: Slight Reach/Reach
Brown: Reach</p>

<p>Most of the private school predictions were given lower ratings mostly due to low UW Gpa. ECs are good, and SATs are decent. Go Koreans!</p>

<p>Thanks for the comments!!</p>

<p>bump :slight_smile: PS: I got into UCSD!! :)</p>

<p>You should get into all UCs easily. Good chance at Cornell and GTown. The others you have a lottery ticket at in the very crowded Korean pool…</p>

<p>I think that some of my colleges didn’t receive my college transcript…what should I do? Would it make a difference?</p>

<p>Thank you Suze for your comment!</p>

9

<p>I think if you call the admissions office they can tell you if they received it or not.</p>

10

<p>oh my god. SEND THE TRANSCRIPT! They need the proof you did it.
Ok:
UCSD: Safety
UCLA: Match (i hate you for being in the state of CA)
UCB: Match
Georgetown: Match
Duke: Low Reach
Columbia: Reach
Cornell: Low Reach
Brown: Reach</p>

11

<p>Class rank?</p>

12

<p>I sent the transcript…but I realized that my legal name on the transcript is Michel not michelle…which is really bad huh? I tried calling today and yesterday…but they weren’t open…WHAT SHOULD I DO?!</p>

back in 1993 I receive the bank of America achievement award for fine arts… when they told me I won I had no idea even what I won… our valedictorian also receive the award for mathematics that year it was the first time two students at the same school receive this award at the same time I know that they were really happy and made a big deal out of it I received a plaque but beyond that I had no idea anything else about the award I never received any money if I was supposed to and never got it I wish I would have been advised differently they say this is a prestigious award and it’s a big deal but I Google the event taking place and there’s no record of it even taking place or my name ever coming up with it… if there was more opportunity and things that did come along with receiving this award I sure wish I would have been made aware of it because pretty much I got burnt
