This is likely my final list and resume.</p>

<p>35 people, no replies. :frowning:
Bump.
Also, I participated this summer in a BYU Independent Study course Intro to Anthropology, if that makes a difference.</p>

<p>Match or In for your first 6 listed. Stanford and Princeton, I’d say you have a better shot than the average applicant. Rest are ins and Rice and Emory I’d consider matches for you.</p>

<p>Bump. ;p 10chars</p>

<p>UCLA: match
UCB: match
UNC-Chapel Hill<em>: match
Claremont McKenna</em>: don’t know enough so can’t give honest advice
Pomona College: match
USC<em>: match
Stanford: high reach
Princeton: high reach
Tulane</em><em>" match
Rice</em>: low reach
UMiami*<em>: match
WUSTL</em>:match/low reach
Emory*: ditto claremont</p>

<p>You’ll get into most schools with your stats, but for top private schools you’ll need some stronger ECs. Either way, you’ve gathered up an impressive application. </p>

<p>bump 10cars
I’m also looking if anyone knows what are my probable merit options at CMC, USC, Tulane, Rice, UMiami, WUSTL, and Emory.</p>

9

<p>I think you have a good chance at all those schools, as always, the ivies are reaches but with a good essay anything is possible. Also, AP test results can make a big difference, especially in the core subjects. Overall i think you have a good chance at getting in any of those colleges.</p>

10

<p>College list to chance:
UCLA-in
UCB-in
UNC-Chapel Hill<em>-most likely in (i’ve seen cases where people with amazing stats got rejected)
Claremont McKenna</em>-in
Pomona College-not familiar with pomona too much so i cant say
USC<em>-in
Stanford-reach
Princeton-reach (but you’ve got a great chance)
Tulane</em><em>-i’d say in
Rice</em>-also in (Low reach)
UMiami*<em>in
WUSTL</em>in
Emory*in</p>

<p>Anyone here got the Trustee Scholarship from USC, a full-tuition scholarship OOS from UNC-Chapel Hill, full-tuition from Tulane, 10,000+ from Claremont, or the Singer scholarship from UMiami?
I would really appreciate it. xP</p>

12

<p>good test scores +passionate extra curriculars. However, contradictory to what somone said, AP scores do not make much of a difference. If I’m not mistaken, they are not even seen until you enroll in that school. You still ahve a great chance at all of those schools.</p>

<p>Chance me; <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1168384-chances-couple-toptier-other-colleges.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1168384-chances-couple-toptier-other-colleges.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Also, I forgot to put these in:
I know four languages: English, Spanish, French, and Hebrew.
To learn Hebrew, I participated in Hebrew High School from 8th to 11th grade.</p>

<p>My dad’s a doctor, and I’m not sure it matters, but he did residency at UCLA and a fellowship at USC.</p>

<p>Work Experience:
I hopefully will land a tutoring position in September that would entail about 1 hour daily (paid).</p>

<p>This was in middle school, but I’m part of the Johns Hopkins CTY programme (I received awards for my score in both 5th and 7th [I took the SAT])
-participated in Model UN program</p>

<p>Hobbies:
I am certified in HAM radio-I became so at 9
I am USCF ranked in chess (I believe still)</p>

<p>I’m not sure how much of the added information is applicable except the work experience. I think my knowledge of languages should help with my “focus”-my ECs are rather humanities oriented, which I intend to go in.</p>

15

<p>Your stats are pretty awesome. I think you have a great chance of getting in to almost all the schools on your list; the ivy league schools are a crapshoot for pretty much anyone.</p>

16

<p>impressive GPA with that many APs, great ecs, great SAT score. What do you want to major in though? Some departments are competitive some are easy.</p>

17

<p>I don’t think I should have much of an issue getting into the college by merit of my department; I’m looking at History, English, or Philosophy as my major (I want to go into law).</p>

18

<p>Great App, great scores (except if sent, I guarantee that Math II will kill you!)</p>

<p>UCLA - I think in (match)
UCB - Match
UNC-Chapel Hill* - Match
Claremont McKenna* - Not sure, but probably match, it’s tough with smaller schools.
Pomona College - Same as before
USC* - In, aid im not sure.
Stanford - Reach like anyone to be honest, if you are more specialized it would bump your chances.
Princeton - Same as Stanford
Tulane** - Probably would get a lot of aid - in.
Rice* - Match, Low reach.
UMiami** - Same as tulane.
WUSTL* - No clue.
Emory* - Same as rice.</p>
