<p>Decision: Accepted</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<ul>
<li>SAT: 2010 (720M, 620CR, 670W with 10 essay)</li>
<li>SAT IIs: 670 US History, 660 Math II (which should be in the 700s, I’m good at math), 640 Chemistry</li>
<li>AP: 5 U.S. History, 5 Calc AB, 4 Chemistry, 3 English Language</li>
<li>GPA: 4.0 UW, 4.6 W</li>
<li>Rank: 3/650</li>
</ul>

<p>Subjective:

  • Essays: Very good
  • Teacher Recs: probably good, I did not get to read them
  • Counselor Rec: probably good, I did not get to read it
  • Hook (if any): none</p>

<p>Location/Person:

  • State or Country: Arizona
  • School Type: Public, and really good one, and large (3200 students)
  • Ethnicity: Asian (parents from India)
  • Gender: Male</p>

<ul>
<li><p>why I got accepted/rejected: perfect high school transcripts, varsity soccer (we had a really good team this year), tried to make a name for myself at school-- many people know me and like me, U.S. Senate Youth Program, RYLA, 1st place in chemistry at state science fair, truly worked my butt off in school</p></li>
<li><p>Last thoughts: For all you out there with lower SAT scores, keep your hopes high! Sometimes having superior qualities in everything other than test scores will get you into top colleges.</p></li>
</ul>

<p>thanks thrills4ever…i was nervous up until the end…but i sent a lot of quality extra work in to show them how good of a writer i am and that a lower sat scores in those areas (650cr/670w) did not reflect how good of an english student i am and hope to become at the university…good luck to you wherever you decide to go and if you should decide to transfer and become a wahoo as well!</p>
