<p>Firstly, you’ve posted this SAME thing on every single Ivy League board and complained that: “Its really funny how a guy with no ec’s gets 6 responses to his chances thread and I only get 2.”</p>

<p>You have excellent stats and focused ecs. Now, what you need to do is RESEARCH.</p>

<p>YOU need to find out more about what YOU want from a college education. I think you need to narrow down your list and find out which one fits you best because it seems to me that your posting this everywhere is a sign that you are unsure of which school you want to attend. I think checking out some books about colleges would help you decide and narrow down your choices.</p>

<p>I hope this helps because I’m sure you’ve heard from many people that your stats are quite good.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot to both of you. BTW is having a 20% chance a good thing or a bad thing? Also I did what you said chisquard and realized my dream school is Princeton, even though I have always been leaning this way. I don’t understand how my ec’s are focused. i joined clubs freshman year or sophomore year and then continued them senior year. My 4 year dental internship is what I think is the only focused and the volunteering only began junior year.</p>

<p>I strongly disagree with mj93. You have better chances at those schools than 20%'s. However, those are competitive colleges, but you are a strong candidate. I have strong feelings of anxiety too but to overcome it I just focus on school. Try to digest your stress by doing something very notable.</p>

<p>Will not having any a.p’s until senior year in a school that offers every a.p’s going to hurt me if I pull off a high average next term and show my personality in the essays. Even though we offer every a.p there are restrictions such as a.p english is only senior year and the same thing with calc for most students. The princeton guy at the college fair did say he understood that due to the competitive nature of our school some people can’t take the a.p’s they want.</p>

7

<p>I think you have a decent chance actually but far from a sure thing.</p>

8

<p>Collegehopeful, that’s exactly what I mean about focused. You follow through. Some people just have a long list of activities that they do for one year each.</p>

9

<p>Thanks a lot. I understand what you mean now. What school are you aiming for chisquared?</p>

10

<p>Bumping this thread.</p>

11

<p>For me, I’m going into architecture so I’m aiming for Cornell as my first choice! :)</p>

12

<p>Nice, I have also been considering Cornell but The arts and sciences school which I believe is the most competitive school to get into. The workload and story of people jumping into gorges has scared me.</p>

13

<p>Bump bump bump.</p>

14

<p>Bump some more. I would really like to know if my ec’s make me look different from other applicants such as my 4 year dental internship.</p>

15

<p>gpa of 93 is a 3. what?</p>

16

<p>Just curious, but what are the Intel Projects and Intel Research you mentioned? Did you get like an internship at Intel?</p>

17

<p>No it is a research project I will be working at over the sumer at a local college and I will submit it to the INTEL science talent search.</p>
