Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>grades: mostly As, some Bs, 4.3 gpa W, 3.8 gpa UW
sat: 2250
amc 12: 144
aime: 7-9 projected, depending on this year’s level of difficulty
i should qualify for usamo this year
i will be taking 4 APs this year…likely to get 5s
sat ii: math 800, physics 800, ush 760
300 hrs comm service with stanford-affiliated nonprofit
1 summer internship last summer with an internet company
track and field 3 years
may do summer high school at stanford this coming summer</p>

<p>what are my chances of getting into: HYPS, uc berkeley
any other schools i should be interested in? i know my gpa is weak and my ecs aren’t all that fantastic.</p>

<p>school: highly competitive
grade: junior</p>

2

<p>Good shot at MIT</p>

3

<p>Are you in California? If so, I’d say slight reach (50-50), as your ECs are somewhat weak, a high match (~60%) if you qualify for USAMO. If you’re OOS, then it’s a reach.</p>

4

<p>lucky ■■■■■■■! grr!</p>

5

<p>yeah, i’m in california. good to know i have a chance at MIT. what’s OOS?</p>

<p>and yes, i’m a lucky ■■■■■■■. guessed 2 on amc 12 and both turned out correct (24 and 25 were both D)</p>

<p>can anyone give me any tips on what i should do about ECs…i still have a spring break (1 week) and a summer to go.</p>

6

<p>i think i got 7 on AIME so my index is 214 so i will likely make usamo</p>

<p>i really want a fair opinion on what schools i can aim for</p>

7

<p>r these like uber hard math tests or something?</p>

8

<p>well, considering that you do make usamo, you will pretty much make the college of you choice with those stats…
what do you think the index will be this year?<br>
hopefully, i’ll make it to usamo, i am a freshman, and got a 145.5 on the AMC 10A and 9 on AIME I (unofficial) XD</p>

9

<p>nice! you’ll make it for sure. i’m expecting index to be ~210, praying it’s less than 214. it’d be so horrible if it’s 215.</p>

10

<p>wow that high? last year it was 197.5. i didn’t make it either way so its not like im on the borderline or anything =) 114, 6 or 7</p>

11

<p>it may have been 197.5 for amc 10 ppl but i think it was 205 for amc 12</p>

12

<p>Chances Anyone?</p>

13

<p>Like Stanford</p>

14

<p>

no, it was 197.5 for AMC12. and the AMC10 was a floor score (6).</p>

<p>i think you should have no problem getting into the schools you want to get into (even stanford). However, you never know–some guy from the MIT thread got rejected with x2 USAMO and other insane awards. Are you asian?</p>

15

<p>Yea, these days USAMO doesn’t do too much. I had USAMO and Siemens Finalist and was deferred from MIT EA.</p>

16

<p>Wow you guys are freaking insanely smart…I took the AMC 12 and only got 11 out of 11 attempted correct! I never studied at all though, nor did I take part in anything related to math (league, Mu Alpha Theta, etc). I just can’t get myself to study for these kinds of tests. To the OP: You’re so smart I don’t think you have to worry about where you’ll end up (it’ll probably be a really good college anyway).</p>

17

<p>i’m indian</p>

18

<p>lol? (90% of the Indians in my school are noobs; I hope I’m in the other 10% :slight_smile: )</p>

19

<p>lol, then you have probably an 80% chance of getting into MIT…dunno about stanford tho… </p>

<p>(reallyyyyyyy rough estimate)</p>

<p>Look at this way, from the college counselors I have talked to and books I have read, if you make USAMO, with a 4ish UW GPA, and 2300ish SAT…you’re in any college you want (Harvard, CIT, MIT usually bag most of the better USAMOERS, with a few occasionally going to Stanford, Berkeley, U of M, Yale, etc). Nevertheless, I am not saying this from experience, so correct me if I am wrong.</p>

<p>And yeah, hopefully I’m in, but I screwed up miserably on some problems on the AIME with careless errors. D:</p>
