		<description>JB knows her stuff Sweetie, most kids think anyone with a 1450 is an ivy shoo in.

Your list is obnoxious and they&#039;ll think you&#039;re a tool if you list all the little stuff Sweetie. Cut it down to the few thing that are important, the common application give you 6 spaces for your activities.

Get that CR score to at least a 750, especially if you&#039;re hoping for Harvard, Yale or Princeton. Your CR score is below median at every ivy and the mid level ivies like Dartmouth and Brown really want minimum 740. 

You read just like a heck of a lot of other kids and Texas is well represented at ivies. Hopefully you&#039;re valedictorian, but the ivies still reject the majority of those. With a 1520 plus score sans writing and three 750 plus SATIIs, you have a shot, but have some safeties you love because you&#039;re no shoo in Sweetie.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>You&#039;re in the running, though your math score sticks out like a sore thumb for a science competition winner. Many don&#039;t count writing so your 1470 CR plus math is just average at an ivy save Cornell.

 I&#039;d try to pull that up, get rid of the laundry list present here on the app and focus on a couple of strengths, and hope for the best. You list far too many unimportant things and risk being judged harshly for that.

You&#039;re good, but so are the tens of thousands of others you&#039;ll compete against and nothing jumps off the page that says Harvard admit. And keep in mind 40% of the class at every ivy is taken by the hooked candidates (recruited athletes, URMs, legacies, development) before theey even look at the others. Kids who look great on paper often don&#039;t get in.

So remember the key is to make yourself likable on the application.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Yes, you are qualified.
You are beyond qualified.
I&#039;m actually angry at you because you even bothered to ask such a silly question.

My advice for you, on a personal level, is to CHILL OUT.
You are missing out on being a teenager by FAR.
I also think you&#039;re just fishing for compliments.
So you&#039;re qualified, but you need to chill.
I hate to tell you, but you would have around the same chances if you had half the ECs you have now.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>OMG I completely envy you right now. I don&#039;t even have about half the stuff that you have. You don&#039;t need to freak out at all. Honestly, it&#039;s like you have excelled in everything. And the comment about sports. You are a well rounded person and dance,soccer, and fencing definetely qualify. 

Good Luck in applying!&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
