Math IIC: 780
Chemistry: 800

EC's

-Freshman grade president

-Student organization president junior and senior years
-Founder and president of the Biology Club
-Founder and president of JSA chapter in my school
-Varsity Girls Volleyball all four years
-Varsity Girls Basketball (Captain Junior Year)
-Varsity Girls Soccer
-Vice President of Key Club
-GSA

-I discovered a new gene in a rare breed of monkeys
-I spent the summer of freshman year in Africa and helped a doctor find a cure for a deadly decease (names are not aloud to be revealed)
-I currently have two published novels

I also have had several internships and have done research with professors at NYU. I took classes at Harvard during the summer of sophomore and junior year and have received A's in all classes. I will also have great recs and even one from the president of the United States..Mr.Bush.(he's my uncle)

I know my poor EC's and the 780 on the Math SAT III's might hurt me..but do I have slight chance?

Thanks for the post. I also needed a good laugh!

And the sad thing is that I know some people are actually going to believe you.

Sadness.

Of course you wont have a chance, your EC are horrible, the 780 is going to knock you out right away, 4.4 is kinda too low for weighted, and you'll get rejected just because of Bush

CC people are the sickest people I've ever encountered in my life.

That's why I'm hooked.

yea anna u are pretty stupid. ur 780 on math 2c is really gonna hurt ur chances. and no offense but ur ECs suck. i mean every applicant is going to have found some cure for some disease. but what makes YOU stand out? (eg. nobel laureate, founded a nation, transformed copper into gold, etc). I think u have a LONG way to go, but otherwise u have a decent start.

the research will help distinguish you. but you aren't guaranteed a spot- no one is. don't be surprised if you dont get in, there are many candidates like you who are rejected. there are just too many outstanding applicants. you've done just about all that can be done on your part. the rest is up to the adcom and luck. =D
