Shitpost Wednesdays Chances at an HYPSM?
For reference, I have a 2.4 W GPA, my SAT is 990 (480 Eng, 510 Math).
I also took the ACT (18 composite), but I feel like I really bombed my Math section, so I feel it could be higher.
My academics are pretty great, but I feel like what's gonna make me stand out are my ECs.
I'm the president of 35 clubs, all of which were founded by me from the start, and all of which are held in the same room during lunch on Wednesdays (just for ease of access, yk). I have a combined 4 members among all of these clubs, and I feel like I've really made an impact, y'know?
I also used Base44 to create a few websites, and I'm really proud of my creative abilities and my coding skills.
Are my chances at an HYPSM closer to 80% or 90%? A lot of people are saying I'm being a bit modest with these estimates, but I really don't think it sits right with me to call myself an auto-admit.
I feel like to raise my chances that extra 10% I should start a nonprofit granting quant opportunities to babies in the Congo Basin. Is this a good idea?
