<p>Score wise, you have a very good chance. So, do not say you are dumb. You EC’s area slightly cookie cutter, but not completely. You’re company will definitely make you stand out, especially since you make a grand a month. Do great essays and rec’s and you should be in.
Please chance me back. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1438137-chance-me-i-will-chance-back-asap.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1438137-chance-me-i-will-chance-back-asap.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>What about my terrible GPA?</p>

<p>Your lack of awards and the low weighted GPA are significant concerns. EC-wise, your activities won’t hurt you but they won’t help much either. If you’re going for anything related to economics/business, I suggest you establish your passion for tutoring and running your business as the main focus of your life. Another thing you could talk about if you’re aiming for something in the humanities is possibly your journey to creating your video with 100k views. I’m not sure about legacy policies at Columbia and Stanford, so I can’t commentate on them. Basically, I hope you wrote excellent essays because I can’t see much that would distinguish you from the rest of the applicant pool for these schools. While I presume that this is only a list of the top schools you are applying to, I would like to remind you to add on at least a few matches and safeties. Good luck, good sir, and may the odds be forever in your favor!</p>

<p>Refuse to chance someone who classifies a 2360 and a 3.8 uw as dumb.</p>

7

<p>I wouldn’t classify myself as smart.</p>

<p>Your UW is find, but your W is rather low. Did you not take a lot of honors/AP classes?</p>

10

<p>“What about my terrible gpa?” Hahaha are you just asking for attention? All of your stats are almost perfect… Calm down your gonna get into a good school.</p>

11

<p>Isn’t the GPA a little low in comparison to the SAT though?</p>

12

<p>=.= Dude if you’re in the best school in NYC I don’t see the prob with your GPA here. I am curious as to how your APs are weighted though if they’re only giving u a .1 boost.</p>

13

<p>If that school really did give a 0.1 boost on honors/APs, I think the colleges may recaucluate a weighted GPA a little differently.</p>

14

<p>I didn’t do too well in APs</p>

15

<p>I dont think that it is too high of a reach</p>

16

<p>Can you explain how your school weights classes s also say the grade you got in each ap class?</p>

<p>Self-deprecating or self-delusional? Anyway, you are a very good student, so you are in the running for all of these schools, but, to repeat the cliche, these schools are safe for nobody</p>
