<p>Any POSITIVE comments would be appreciated. If you have any reasoning of why i wont make it please tell me id appreciate it. Thanks</p>
<p>Your test scores seems pretty good and your extracurricular are outstanding. People in this forum seems to really up the bar from the average students. I think that if your essay is good, you should atleast have a chance at most the high profile school u listed. Your GPA is the main worry though, most ivies students are 4.0+ gpa. Your best chance out of those ivies would probably be Upenn. It seems that you want a career in medicine or science. If that is your passion, you should let them know about it somehow, in a personal statement . It might give u a boost if you are applying in medical or science majors.</p>
<p>Yeah i totally understand where you are coming from. Keep in mind the gpa i posted is out of 4.0 ( I take 4 AP and 2 Honor courses for my senior year and am actually on a 4.89 gpa scale).</p>
<p>I would post my essay for you to view, however it seems that colleve confidential doesnt allow that so if u want to see my essay let me know and i will email it to you. Thanks for the feedback.</p>
<p>So you made the USAMO? It’s a bit odd that you scored 700 on the Math IIC which is like 65th percentile but scored extremely well on the AMCs. Not that 700 is bad but usually ppl who’ve been selected to take the USAMO score 800s. Just something that stuck out when I glanced through.</p>
<p>standardized testing isnt my cup of tea… i took the ACT 3 times to get that score… the sat 3 times and never broke 2200… so its just that kinda thing… usamo was a totally different environment to test in, theres no stress i just went in and took it like it was for fun… i didnt even seriously try… i just took it for the thrill of taking a math test on stuff i didnt really know</p>
<p>They take very few with a class rank under top 10% and most with rank below top 5% are hooked. Your scores (SATIIs) are also low for those schools. Take a look at the common data sets.</p>
