这个profile比隔壁的厉害很多。有math + science state level, tennis state championship team, 有团体大球的varsity。 但是是男娃+ ECE,所以目前的录取档次没有拉出来差距。

这种当然竞争得过。 不是已经拿了UT Austin了吗。

这个孩子很强。如果去不了一个top 10, 难以置信。GIT rejected stem这么强的孩子,没道理。

所以看隔壁加州女娃,觉得录的已经不错了,这个Cornell ED deferred,觉得有点不可思议,怎么T20 应该没问题吧。UT Austin 是他们州大,没那么难的。

应该不是华人,那么多数学竞赛都没有华人必备的aime. 估计父母在大学工作搞得research/paper。

Gatech ECE 今年录小中男也要硬核stem奖了
前几天版上报了一个是AMO + usaco gold

还是没有硬核奖,research作为主打不好判断含金量和真实性,leadership和文体EC也没有亮点。加上亚裔男孩身份,这个结果不意外

这个比加州那个女孩有亮点,Stanford够呛,upenn有希望但不大,其他两个有戏,

这个挺强的。要冲藤的话,SAT可以再考一次,最好达到1580.

必须的,home country还搞了个intern。 含金量难以辨别。。
