<p>k so not 5 dollars…but i couldnt resist</p>

<p>Essays - no idea but shouldn’t be detrimental in any way…
applying to engineering school so math is important
SATs - 2240 Combine w/800 Math…only 2200 in one sitting sadly…
SAT IIs - 800 Math Level I, taking level II day after 2moro
800 Latin
740 Bio (5 on the AP tho)
GPA - around 3.95 uw, very good at my school
- ranked about 3rd outa 141
- i dont know if this hurts or help but it’s a very tough private school altho my school has never sent any to Stanford so its tough to say…
- As hard of a workload as possible - 8 APs
ECs - my weakest part
JETS engineering competition - although its not techincally an individual award my team placed 6th and 9th nationally the past 2 years…neone know if this competition has any merit whatsoever?..bc i honestly dont think its that impressive
Internship at Wright Patterson Air Force Base - i worked for an engineering company that contracted for the air force…only for one summer bc of transportation issues…i dont plan on mentioning this at all in my essays…bad?
Lacrosse - 4 Year Letter Winner, All Star Team Starter, Captain, Summer Camp Team Captain, no recruitment sadly because Stanford doesnt have lacrosse as varisty but i hope to play for their club team…ne ideas on if that’ll help?
Debate Team - co-founder although really i have done much and the entire club kinda fizzled away my senior year…should i include it?
Columbus Chinese Academy - although not nationally recognized, ive graduated in 2005 after 12 straight years? impressive? i dunno but it shows committment i guess, about 150 hours of volunteering there and that’s about all my volunteering
Piano - nothing too impressive but been palying for 13 years, couple state recognized awards, certificates, etc.</p>

<p>I live in Ohio, like i said…i kno everyone’s gonna say jus apply but i couldnt resist…why mite i get accepted, rejected?, ill try n compensate a little in my essays…THANK U SO MUCH</p>

<p>Basically, i dont think i stand out, so i think ill be flat out rejected for EA</p>

<p>Sorry to say this, but: your prediction is right. The numbers say that you’ll be flat out rejected. Sorry. : (</p>

<p>Note: Ashveer is being sarcastic.</p>

<p>True, you don’t really shine, although the lacrosse ec is really good. You need excellent recs and essays. Good luck!</p>

<p>You look like a great candidate regardless, but the fact that you come from Ohio significantly boosts your chances–colleges need geographic diversity. My counselor always says, “If you lived in a place like Ohio all of you would be into Stanford for sure”</p>

5

<p>Yeah sorry for being so abrasive about it.</p>

6

<p>Why does Ohio help? I would imagine that there are plenty of qualified kids applying all over America coming from Ohio</p>
