<p>I like good music; I juggle; I can shuffle poker chips well; I can pen-flick; I can pop a wheely on a wheelchair; I, given the chance, will destroy you at video games; I like to believe I am a loving child; and foremost, I am a student by day, but a dragon slaying violators of the good will by night.</p>

<p>Thinking of:
MIT
Caltech
Berkeley
Cornell
UF
UChicago
Columbia
Duke
HYPS…</p>

<p>I want the most angry and clearly abused-as-a-child CCer here to clash with me and also rate me. Any others are welcome too.</p>

<p>What videogames can you dominate everyone at?</p>

<p>That being said, you really should increase your SAT score a bit. It isn’t good being Asian, in that regard.</p>

<p>I wasn’t abused as a child, but you said others are welcome.</p>

<p>Edit: And narrow your list a bit; it looks like you were just picking off of the USNWR top 15.</p>

3

<p>How do you have above a 5.0?</p>

<p>Is this a spoof of a chances thread I posted a couple hours ago? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/552300-get-top-one-must-kiss-lot-bottom.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/552300-get-top-one-must-kiss-lot-bottom.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Nevertheless:
UF: Match
All Others: Reach</p>

<p>Different weighting systems work differently, and have different maximum GPAs.</p>

<p>For the first post, I am notably good at the Halo series and Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo. I am decent at others, and am fairly competitive in anything I do, so I try to give anyone a run for their money with a bit of practice. How about you? Yeah, I know the SAT reading score especially annoys me at times. Any other advice?</p>

<p>For the second post, my school system is a little screwy. It gives AP classes 6 points, and after a while, it just starts getting higher. I honestly have no idea how it works.</p>

7

<p>I can’t play at all on consoles. I need PC shooters to shine, CoD4 and BF2 are typically what I play. I am decent at flight sims, but get trashed online.</p>

<p>AAs for the thread purpose, as I said, focus your list. Other than that, there isn’t much else to do.</p>

<p>haha, ILikeFood, no it’s not a spoof. I copied your layout though, so feel honored to your little CC heart’s content. So who is this friend of yours; pretty impressive stats. I know the top schools are tough, but I hope to add a taste of my persona to the application. Where are you looking for school (if you are that is)?</p>

9

<p>how good are you at counterstrike?</p>

10

<p>do you feel narrowing your college list changes chances?</p>

11

<p>Sub-par at normal, since I get too nervous knowing I have only one chance, and don’t know the maps well enough to camp effectively. Decent at gun game, because the maps are not the normal, overplayed ones.</p>

<p>Funnily enough, I slaughter on S&D in COD4, especially when it is HC.</p>

<p>No, at least negatively, for the question. Applying to more prestigious colleges doesn’t not increase your chances of acceptance because an acceptance is not a random event. There may be a slight positive chance increase, because you are focused on less apps and thus do a better job on them.</p>

<p>ok, i thought thats what you meant. Also, do you think having a mother from the philippines and a father from pakistan may help separate myself from being purely “asian”. </p>

<p>hey, thanks for the critique, im going to dream now.</p>

13

<p>Goodnight, if that is what you meant by that.</p>

<p>It might, but you would have to consult someone else on the intricacies of effectively utilizing it.</p>
