<p>I know that all of you don’t follow ‘just stats’, but I sometimes wonder that my stats are too bad.</p>

<p>So, could you tell me if I have ANY chance whatsoever?</p>

<p>SAT: N/A, yet
SAT II: M IIC: 650 Bio E: 700
ACT: 27 (29 math), but I have a really good feeling that I did much better on this saterdays act.
Rank: 30/~760
GPA 3.87 UW, no weighted one.
AP: Euro (stupid 2)
Music (3)</p>

<p>IB: Music (3)
And this year:
Mathematics SL (It’s all my school offers)
English A1 HL
Biology HL
Spanish B SL
History of the Americas HL
Theory of Knowledge</p>

<p>ECs: (Just the ones I put on the app)

  1. Service and community activities. Including CAS, and eagle project.
  2. Chess, including President of the chess club, and a few tourneys.
  3. Technical projects (mainly talking about computer science, and a personal watercraft my school and I are building via inventeams).
  4. Music Composition, including a piece I wrote for the centennial calibration for a small town.
  5. Podcasting, topics such as technology, and literature</p>

<p>The 100 word essay: 3d CGI, for video games, and movies.
The other 100 word essay: I talked on how I loved 6-3, because of OCW.</p>

<p>What I made:
I read an audiobook for LibriVox.</p>

<p>My Optional essay:
I split it in two. I first talked on how I love openness, and then I talked on how I will go where ever I need to go to learn what I need to learn. For examples, I gave my leaving all of my piers to go the a High School, for IB. And how I also decided to get an associates degree as I graduate High School.</p>

<p>For the main essay: I talked about how my low vision has got me to a position where I am a big contributer to my community. (Either that, or it gave me a big ego :slight_smile: ).</p>

<p>My parents wouldn’t let me get a job. :(</p>

<p>Summer Activities: Summer term at a community college, online classes, a few summer camps, and a family trip.</p>

<p>I believe that that’s all. What do you guys think? Thank you!</p>

<p>Ya, I read Around the World in 80 days. I also read part of The Time Machine, and a few stories of Sherlock Holmes.</p>

<p>Anyway, what do other people think?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>your stats don’t matter as much as your personal qualities; that being said, i think that yours will definitely serve the purpose of getting your foot in the door. if your essays are interesting and reflect who you really are, you should have a good shot. the audiobook thing is really cool!</p>

5

<p>do you have a good voice or something? lol, how do you get that “job” to read audiobooks?</p>

6

<p>It wasn’t a job. It was entirely volunteer work.</p>

<p>And they will take anyone reading. They say that if you don’t like a reading, then do it yourself. (They say it in an encouraging manner)</p>

7

<p>I hope you didn’t spell your “peers” as “piers” in the essay. </p>

<p>A little proofreading would catch that mistake!</p>

8

<p>Actually, I don’t think I used peers, or piers in the essay, I described it slightly difforently.</p>
