<p>“Chances” posts aren’t really popular with the HC scene as it’s a little out of character for the place and the kids it attracts.</p>
<p>There’re plenty of HC kids from Stuy, B-Sci, B-tech, Horace Mann, Town-Harris, ect… how do you compare to your friends who applied before from your school?</p>
<p>Just skimming your post, I’m most surprised at the number of times “not impressive” and “not spectacular” appear. Hopefully, you are either very modest and have issues conveying it or, unfortunately, possibly have issues with self-esteem or these things are an accurate reflection of your resume. In addition, “participated” (instead of “led”) appears one too many times as well.</p>
<p>You can guess-timate your chances from the HC admissions web page and what I posted earlier from “Class of 2010 profile”. Also, there was a series in the NYT last year about HC admissions and athletic recruitment as well. A lot of kids with your numerical stats or higher AND who were recruited athletes were waitlisted or rejected.</p>
