<p>There’s probably other things that I’ve forgotten in this “condensed” resume. But I’d appreciate some feedback. Thanks!</p>

<p>Your stats look pretty good for Uchicago, but remember its the essay that will ultimately pull you in.</p>

<p>MIT and Yale are for the most part big reaches, for two reasons A. you’re international from a country that is overrepresented and B. you arent the “best” candidate they have ever seen.</p>

<p>However you have good chances at your regular decision schools.</p>

<p>Please chance me! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/533955-what-my-chances-updated-statz.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/533955-what-my-chances-updated-statz.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Reach at yale, mit. chicago should be in.</p>

4

<p>Can you tell me how/why you came to go to school in Singapore?</p>

5

<p>Rferns - </p>

<p>She’s not international - states she’s a US citizen. She looks good to me, but I agree MIT and Yale are reaches for just about all at present.</p>

6

<p>parents are expatriates, got shipped to Singapore.</p>

<p>So uh… nobody has told me what I should do. Should I EA Yale? Or EA both MIT and UChicago?</p>

<p>I ask this because Yale is SCEA. Would it be worth it for me?</p>

7

<p>My understanding is that at least for Chicago and MIT, EA is not an admissions bump. Don’t know about Yale.</p>

<p>You should apply early action to the school you want to hear from first.</p>

8

<p>well, the one I’d like to get into would be yale. haha
but wouldn’t the world like to attend yale…</p>

<p>So I have nothing to lose, right? SCEA yale?</p>
