<p>LOL ok let’s get back to the real stuff</p>

<p>Korean male from Northern NJ, very good public school
Came from Korea (obviously ;]) 3 years ago</p>

<p>GPA : UW : over 4.2 (close to being straight A+)
W : 4.61
supposedly the highest in our school’s history if my 12th goes well. Is there any way to imply this on my resume? Also, should I write “valedictorian contender”, “valedictorian”, or just let my guidance counselor indicate it in her evaluation/recommendation?</p>

<p>SAT I : 2400 on one sitting.
SAT II : MathII: 800
Chem : 800
Phys : 800
Bio : 800
US His : 780 :confused:
May also take Spanish and literature. Hopefully i get 800s on both of them.</p>

US Gov (5) - 10th
Calc BC (5) - 11th
Physics B (5) - 11th
Euro Hist (5) - 11th

<p>Thank you for your time! Please be honest of your opinions~</p>

<p>please guyys i reallly want to know</p>

<p>imagine how much it will be soothing for this soul if you post a comment</p>

3

<p>:-) Shucks, kiddo, you’ve got a good chance at all of them. Very impressive credentials. Obviously Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford are reaches just because they are, but I can see you getting into at least one of these three.</p>

4

<p>How can you have a 4.2 UW?</p>

<p>Stanford - low reach/high match
Harvard - low reach/high match
Princeton - low reach/high match
Caltech - match
Northwestern - match
U Chicago - match</p>

5

<p>well i worked fairly diligently on my gpa and for 3 years i got almost straight A+… almost.</p>

6

<p>bump bumpy</p>

7

<p>wow…why bother goodynotion lol?</p>

<p>you know your chances are stellar at all the schools, but we can’t guarentee admission to the likes of HYPS…so we can just tell you that you have a great shot of getting in, but not 100%…</p>

8

<p>thank you azngod!</p>

9

<p>Are you applying as an international?</p>

10

<p>azngod is right. why bother. no one wants to chance the 4.5, 2400 crap (yes im probably jealous)- you have as good a chance as anyone so there really is no need for this thread.c ya</p>

11

<p>and why would you take like 14 SAT 2’s. colleges at most need 3. you have 800s on 3 of them already.</p>

<p>i dont understand people sometimes</p>

12

<p>i still dont think u can still get a 4.2. it doesnt make sense and it doesnt matter if u have straight A+'s. the highest u can get is a 4.0. either ur ■■■■■■■■ or something but everything else seems ok but that UW GPA seems eh.</p>

<p>well evaluation…<br>
Stanford - reach/high reach
Harvard - reach/high reach
Princeton - low reach/ reach
Caltech - low reach/reach
Northwestern - low reach/ reach
UChicago - high match/low reach</p>

<p>even with those scores (cept the UW GPA hmm) ur not guarantee a spot. the only reason why i gave princeton and cal tech low reaches for u is because of their admission policy is weird (princeton has 11% admission rate for GPA 3.5-3.7 and 4% with GPA of 3.2-3.5? i thought it was only 1% haha).</p>

13

<p>yea - you have like 800’s on 5 SAT 2s… Don’t waste your money!!</p>

14

<p>If you take more SAT II’s colleges are going to think that you are a complete loser. Seriously, don’t do it, it will look like the SAT is an extracurricular for you. As far as chances go, you have a very good shot at all of them. You will probably get in to 3-4 of them, maybe more. Good luck.</p>

<p>BTW: A GPA of 4.2 is possible on a college rating system where A+, A, A-, B+, etc… are all counted with a different number. I’m pretty sure the highest possible is ~4.2-4.3, but that doesn’t really matter since colleges will probably jut assign him an UW GPA of 4.0.</p>

15

<p>to tell you honestly, apply to Harvard, Stanford and Princeton with good essays and recs and you should be able to get into at least one of thing. you have a stellar profile and i’m assuming that you’ll be able to write good essays and have good recs written about you. even with all that, HSP can and might reject you, because those schools are truly unpredictable with their decisions. however, i can tell you that you have a strong shot at any of those schools.</p>

16

<p>Stanford, Harvard & Princeton are unpredictable but you have a shot at each of them
Cal Tech - reach
Northwestern - match
UChicago - match</p>
