Are you Into Art?
10'' x 10'' Wood canvas with metalic based accrilic textured paint. The raised texture on the canvas are perfect for the sight impaired, Ray Charles himself spent over an hour running his hands over one of them. This work is #20 of the 2,000 Angels Set, numbered and dated by Andy Lakey himself. Perfect mint condition, original Andy Lakey Angel Painting, very rare and sought after, a perfect addition to any collection. It is said these paintings have a strange, spiritual energy to them and many people feel a pulsating vibration from the canvas. Due to the amazing story of the artist and rumored spiritual energy of the paintings themselves, these are in high demand and they sell fast. Today, Andy Lakey's works hang in museums and art galleries around the world. Noted collectors include Princess Margaret of Great Britain, Prince Albert of Monaco, Presidents Ford and Carter, Stevie Wonder, Shari Belafonte, Kelsey Grammar, Pope John Paul II and more. CONTACT ME In reply to Zoe, actually I own the art, I'm looking to sell it, not buy it, please tell your friends.

no thanks. 2 pts! cheers!
2 :
well seeing that they are so rare then i doubt that you can even get one...maybe you could contract an expert art dealer and get more information for him/her dont just answer this question just to get the 2 pts people!!!!...ACTUALLY say something!!!!!!!!!!
3 :
So this is a print you're trying to sell. One of a numbered edition, and yet you then call it an 'original Andy Lakey Angel Painting' which of course it's NOT, because again, it's a numbered piece from an edition of unknown size. In other words, it's a print of piece of bad art. You will NOT find his work in any serious museums or galleries, and the fact that celebrities buy them is actually an anti-selling point because celebrities know less about art than your average air-conditioning repairman. Oh yeah, and it's a 'wood canvas' (sort of like a 'stone paper') and it's got 'accrilic' textured paint on it whatever THAT means. Please tell me you didn't spend good money on this travesty.

you'll be fine with scores and a GPA like that. I think you should take the SAT's because a lot of these schools are in the northeast where ACT scores are less common.

you're probably gonna get into many of those schools, but not princeton...they hardly accept anyone...even VERY GOOD trust me...BUT CHOOSE PENN! haha! my bro goes there :)

You have an excellent chance of getting in!!! You have all the great academic points covered. I would recommend a couple of things: Get letters of reference from people in your community such as from your church or others who know of your accomplishments. Try not to get them from teachers as you want to be a "well-rounded" person! If you can, do volunteer work this summer. Animal shelter, reading to the elderly or blind something like that. This shows that you give back and care about your community. When you get an interview with univ. admissions, be sure to dress neat, shake hand, good eye contact and smile! Take your time answering Q as it shows you don't jump into answers but instead, think and reason. GOOD LUCK!!!!

You'll certainly get into someplace decent. Fair warning though that the Ivy's recieve so many applications from so many people who have essentially the same qualifications as you that getting into Princeton or Yale may be a bit of a crapshoot. Also since it appears that you're willing to go to a private, you might also apply to Stanford and some of the University of CA schools (Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD as a safety). Seriously, going to school in an enjoyable location is a good idea...

WOW. You're a very good candidate for all those schools, you'll probably get into half of them. I know you said you would not leave the midwest/east coast, but IF you somehow decide to, I suggest Cal Berkeley's Haas School of Business.

Looks really good. Asian students are denied affirmative action. Prepare to go against thousands of people with your same stats. But otherwise your experiences and school work look "up there"! Good.

You obviously have an extensive transcript so far, and your extracurricular experience is great for the field you want to enter. However, when schools are looking at all of your activities there is a considerable gap--no intriguing physical extracurriculars are there and this will make you look like you are just skilled in school. Believe it or not, colleges love to see applicants who are very well rounded with accomplishments in other aspects of their lives. You do have tennis on your resume, but unless you earned a significant accomplishment that you did not list, tennis is a common sport for the unskilled athlete to compete in--one that is just played to look good for college entrance forms. I would have recommended to further develop the physical aspect of your life and not just the intellectual aspect. This is obviously not something that is going to happen in one year so you seem to be SOL, hope your SAT composites come back in great shape!!!

How are my chances for an Ivy League school
How are my chances for an Ivy League school?
I am a junior in high school, with a passion for business. I am already thinking of applying to the University of Pennsylvania (Wharton). I do need other schools to apply to though...help? I will be taking my SAT II's in June and APs in May. Here are my credentials: Unweighted: 4.0 ACT Composite: 33 ACT Math: 35 ACT Reading: 36 Rank: Top 5%; unfortunately, my school doesn't do ranks. However, my class consists of more than 400 kids... APs taken/planned to take: -Calc BC -English Lit -European History -Macroeconomics -Microeconomics -Physics B -Psychology -Spanish -US Government -World History Honors Classes: -Honors Physics -Honors Pre-Calc -Honors World Lit -Honors American Lit -Honors American History -Honors Algebra -Honors Geometry Other Classes Pertaining to Business: Marketing Independent Study in Marketing Economics Accounting Clubs/Sports/Other -Varsity Tennis (11-12)/Captain--(12) -DECA (10-12)--1st place at States (twice); Honorable Mention at Internationals and I'm hoping for placement at Internationals this year :) But we'll just have to see -Model United Nations (11-12)/Ambassador Extraordinaire(11-12) -National Honor Society (11-12)/President(12) -Volunteer Impact Program (11-12)Secretary(11)/President(12) -Student Leadership (10-12) ----In leadership, I'm in charge of Spirit Court Elections as well as Class Elections ----Volunteer at Graduation every year ----Part of Staff Appreciation Committee in Leadership (we give little gifts to teachers bi-monthly) -100+ Hours of Community Service -Winterfest Class of 2010 Princess -Kumon (since I was 4) and have completed the program in both Reading and Math -Piano (since I was 4, till I was 16) -Honor Roll, all high school years SAT Subject Tests (will be taking) -Math II -World History -Spanish Summers: Volunteered all my summers Before Freshmen year - I traveled the Mediterranean, learning the culture of Italy, Spain, Monaco and Croatia for 2 weeks. Between Freshmen and Sophomore years - I traveled to the Baltic, learning the culture of Russia, Estonia, Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark in 2 weeks Between Sophomore and Junior years - I attended the CTD (Center for Talent Development) at Northwestern University, taking AP European History in 3 weeks This summer, I plan on working and volunteering. So I was just wondering what you thought of my chances. I do know that I need a killer essay and a great interview but I know I can pull those off well. My basically assured university is the University of Michigan as I have contacts there, I am from the state of Michigan and my school is the largest sender into U of M. But, any other schools you'd recommend? Remember...I like business ;) Economics could work too. Let me know if you need any other information from me! io, no U of M is not an Ivy League, you're correct. But it is my back-up, and I'd adore going there especailly if Ross accepted me. John, thank you! I actually do prefer business, but I mean, if places like Yale accepted, I'd surely switch to econ. And haha, I took it at Northwestern (CTD) over the summer. I'll be taking the AP test in about 3 weeks and actually...I feel pretty good about it believe it or not! I don't know, CTD has had a great track record in the past about 4's and 5's on the AP's that are taught. It's a reallyyyy cool program, not going to lie. :)

Your resume looks... pristine. Perfect. I think you'll do fine. Aim for about a 2100 or higher cum. With 600+ in both verbal and math. (Math especially if you like business.) You're doing fine, I suggest you stop worrying so much. Because there's really not a lot of perfect resumes out there and people can still manage to get into IV league schools.
2 :
Remember that Wharton (UPenn) only takes 50 students/year from all over the world, so you have to have truly outstanding credentials to be considered for that program. I'm kind of surprised you haven't taken the SAT I's, since most elite schools seem to prefer that to the ACT. Obviously, your grades couldn't be any higher, and you have very good scores and extracurricular activities. Are they truly unusual? I'm not sure. It isn't that you are NOT eligible, it is just a matter of who else applies and what they bring to the table.
3 :
i dont think U of M is ivy league...? theres a link to good business schools
4 :
Nice GPA and activities =] I'd say you've got a very good chance at acceptance. What other schools were you thinking - and do you have a preference on business / econ ? If you don't mind me asking, how on earth did you take AP Euro in three weeks ? Did you take the AP exam, and if you did, how did you score ?
5 :
Get 2150+ on your SAT's, get good recs, write a good essay and you are set! Columbia, Brown, Yale, NYU, Warton (U Pen), Harvard. All Ivy leagues have good Business programs and you look set for just about any of them. The two hardest to get into will be Warton and Columbia. Harvard obviously will be hard but I am confident that you will get in.
6 :
woah i am totally jealous! i wish my grades & stuff was that good lol if i were you, i wouldn't bother taking the SATs because your ACT scores are really good already, why bother? haha you definitely would get into an ivy league school if all of these is true though. getting into UM would be a breeze. you should even try to apply to harvard, yale, princeton, etc. if money is an issue, they have programs where they will pay for everything (if your parents make less than $60,000/year). you should check it out.

Your credentials are great. The University of Michigan is not difficult to get into, so I would make that a safety school if anything. Your credentials should land you in UPenn, but Ivy League schools tend to be more fickle than other universities as far as admissions go. Legacies with less than stellar performances may be preferred sometimes over better qualified candidates. If I were you, I would make Stanford or MIT my number one choice. Both have great business schools and are as respected if not more respected than Ivy League universities. You might also want to take the SAT just to see how you do on it. A 33 on the ACT is equivalent to about a 2190 on the SAT. This is not a bad score, but room for improvement exists. Also, the SAT traditionally tests aptitude more than the ACT does, so it is a slightly different measure of a person's thinking. Something like a 35 on the ACT or a 2300 or above on the SAT would probably increase your chances of getting into the school of your choice.

However, my class consists of more than 400 kids... APs taken/planned to take: -Calc BC -English Lit -European History -Macroeconomics -Microeconomics -Physics B -Psychology -Spanish -US Government -World History Honors Classes: -Honors Physics -Honors Pre-Calc -Honors World Lit -Honors American Lit -Honors American History -Honors Algebra -Honors Geometry Other Classes Pertaining to Business: Marketing Independent Study in Marketing Economics Accounting Clubs/Sports/Other -Varsity Tennis (11-12)/Captain--(12) -DECA (10-12)--1st place at States (twice); Honorable Mention at Internationals and I'm hoping for placement at Internationals this year :) But we'll just have to see -Model United Nations (11-12)/Ambassador Extraordinaire(11-12) -National Honor Society (11-12)/President(12) -Volunteer Impact Program (11-12)Secretary(11)/President(12) -Student Leadership (10-12) ----In leadership, I'm in charge of Spirit Court Elections as well as Class Elections ----Volunteer at Graduation every year ----Part of Staff Appreciation Committee in Leadership (we give little gifts to teachers bi-monthly) -100+ Hours of Community Service -Winterfest Class of 2010 Princess -Kumon (since I was 4) and have completed the program in both Reading and Math -Piano (since I was 4, till I was 16) -Honor Roll, all high school years SAT Subject Tests (will be taking) -Math II -World History -Spanish Summers: Volunteered all my summers Before Freshmen year - I traveled the Mediterranean, learning the culture of Italy, Spain, Monaco and Croatia for 2 weeks. Between Freshmen and Sophomore years - I traveled to the Baltic, learning the culture of Russia, Estonia, Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark in 2 weeks Between Sophomore and Junior years - I attended the CTD (Center for Talent Development) at Northwestern University, taking AP European History in 3 weeks This summer, I plan on working and volunteering. So I was just wondering what you thought of my chances. I do know that I need a killer essay and a great interview but I know I can pull those off well. My basically assured university is the University of Michigan as I have contacts there, I am from the state of Michigan and my school is the largest sender into U of M. But, any other schools you'd recommend? Remember...I like business ;) Economics could work too. Let me know if you need any other information from me! io, no U of M is not an Ivy League, you're correct. But it is my back-up, and I'd adore going there especailly if Ross accepted me. John, thank you! I actually do prefer business, but I mean, if places like Yale accepted, I'd surely switch to econ. And haha, I took it at Northwestern (CTD) over the summer. I'll be taking the AP test in about 3 weeks and actually...I feel pretty good about it believe it or not! I don't know, CTD has had a great track record in the past about 4's and 5's on the AP's that are taught. It's a reallyyyy cool program, not going to lie. :)

Your resume looks... pristine. Perfect. I think you'll do fine. Aim for about a 2100 or higher cum. With 600+ in both verbal and math. (Math especially if you like business.) You're doing fine, I suggest you stop worrying so much. Because there's really not a lot of perfect resumes out there and people can still manage to get into IV league schools.

Remember that Wharton (UPenn) only takes 50 students/year from all over the world, so you have to have truly outstanding credentials to be considered for that program. I'm kind of surprised you haven't taken the SAT I's, since most elite schools seem to prefer that to the ACT. Obviously, your grades couldn't be any higher, and you have very good scores and extracurricular activities. Are they truly unusual? I'm not sure. It isn't that you are NOT eligible, it is just a matter of who else applies and what they bring to the table.

Nice GPA and activities =] I'd say you've got a very good chance at acceptance. What other schools were you thinking - and do you have a preference on business / econ ? If you don't mind me asking, how on earth did you take AP Euro in three weeks ? Did you take the AP exam, and if you did, how did you score ?

Get 2150+ on your SAT's, get good recs, write a good essay and you are set! Columbia, Brown, Yale, NYU, Warton (U Pen), Harvard. All Ivy leagues have good Business programs and you look set for just about any of them. The two hardest to get into will be Warton and Columbia. Harvard obviously will be hard but I am confident that you will get in.

woah i am totally jealous! i wish my grades & stuff was that good lol if i were you, i wouldn't bother taking the SATs because your ACT scores are really good already, why bother? haha you definitely would get into an ivy league school if all of these is true though. getting into UM would be a breeze. you should even try to apply to harvard, yale, princeton, etc. if money is an issue, they have programs where they will pay for everything (if your parents make less than $60,000/year). you should check it out.

Your credentials are great. The University of Michigan is not difficult to get into, so I would make that a safety school if anything. Your credentials should land you in UPenn, but Ivy League schools tend to be more fickle than other universities as far as admissions go. Legacies with less than stellar performances may be preferred sometimes over better qualified candidates. If I were you, I would make Stanford or MIT my number one choice. Both have great business schools and are as respected if not more respected than Ivy League universities. You might also want to take the SAT just to see how you do on it. A 33 on the ACT is equivalent to about a 2190 on the SAT. This is not a bad score, but room for improvement exists. Also, the SAT traditionally tests aptitude more than the ACT does, so it is a slightly different measure of a person's thinking. Something like a 35 on the ACT or a 2300 or above on the SAT would probably increase your chances of getting into the school of your choice.
