<p>Yup. It’s not a typo.
I GOT A PATENT.
I AM A NATIONALLY QUALLIFIED VOCAL for Pop.</p>

<p>I apologize for those who had read my previous threads on Harvard page. It’s really shameful of me to show a conduct like that, and I’m very sorry for those who took enormous offense for my arrogance.
Again, I’m sorry.</p>

2

<p>I’m international app.
I’m Asian.</p>

<p>Yup. Whole bunch of Applicants warring for few seats. I’m appalled.</p>

<p>BUMP</p>

3

<p>you’ve got a really good shot at all of them.</p>

4

<p>although I would say georgia tech and michigan are in different leagues in terms of competitiveness. Try better schools than Gtech for safeties, like UNC-Chapel Hill, UW-Madison, etc. Unless you want to go to college for free, then by all mean apply to Gtech.</p>

5

<p>SAT scores are too low and you lack any ECs with substance,direction or merit.</p>

6

<p>^^^ SATs are too low??
What the hell are you talking about? He has a total of 2340 on the SAT I and he did well on the others too. If you don’t think that is good enough, then what is?</p>

<p>He has a bunch of EC’s and awards too…I have no idea what your thinking.</p>

<p>To Endoplasm: I think you have a great shot. Good luck.</p>

7

<p>… sak09, I think Garrity was kidding.</p>

8

<p>sak09: Yes, I was kidding, but only because he got a 2360 SAT and not the dreaded 2340 that you incorrectly saddled him with.</p>

9

<p>uhh what do you want these people to say? that you’ve got a great shot? I think you know that already…</p>

10

<p>I think your safeties could be a big higher than Georgia Tech…I mean would you really want to go there in the end? Even when choosing a safety, you should choose a school where you would like to go. If Georgia Tech is that school, then by all means, apply.</p>

<p>I also suggest:
Carnegie Mellon (Low Match)
University of Virginia (Match?)
UCLA (Good Chance)
Harvey Mudd/Pomona (Low Reach)
University of Rochester (Safety~Low Match)
Boston College (Safety ~ Low Match)</p>

<p>for your other choices</p>

<p>Also, don’t put that 2nd trombone in orchestra thing down…it really pales in comparison to the other activities you have.</p>

11

<p>Thanks everyone.</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>BUMP</p>

12

<p>wow, your app is amazing haha</p>

13

<p>really good app.</p>

<p>out of curiosity, what interests you about Williams other than it being an excellent school. Just doesn’t seem to fit with your other choices. I’m not by any means encouraging you to eliminate it from you list, but I was just wondering if you’re interested in any other smaller schools or only Williams.</p>

<p>Caltech and Rice might also be two that would be of interest to you given your science background.</p>

14

<p>Hmm, I apply for williams because they are need-blind to foreigners also in giving out the FA. For CalTech, I’m not that interested because I heard it’s pretty nerdy school where people only live to study. For Rice, yeah, why couldn’t I think about it? But I’m senior now. Guess I can give it a shot.</p>

15

<p>Thanks everyone, for fervently PMing and replying for me.
Anyone else?</p>

<p>BUMP</p>

16

<p>BUMP BumP BuMp BUmp bUMp bUmP buMP</p>

17

<p>BUMP (10 char)</p>

18

<p>Endoplasm:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Match (out of state)</p>

19

<p>i think this kid is asking for chances because he’s international… not because of how good his stats are.</p>

20

<p>Yup. Taz right bman14. I’m international and I expect a whole war of getting admitted to colleges that I wanna go. Even a guy with 2400 got rejected often in my country. Darn I hate it that I have to be an asian.</p>
