I know I once said chance estimation were useless, but I have to retract myself, I was wrong and over confident. I would like to get into the top 20 schools, in theory. I think I know how my chances are (they could be better, but they could be worst), but it wouldn't hurt to get an outside opinion. And most of all, it would be great (since I'm only applying in the fall 2010) to see how I could improve my application profile, what would you do ?
Thanks in advance !

Chance Estimations: and suggested improvment
Re: Chance Estimations: and suggested improvment
Your profile looks good, you should be able to get into top 10. US schools seem to prefer Canadians anyway. (At least I have seen Canadians get into MIT and similar places with a mediocre profile)
Re: Chance Estimations: and suggested improvment
I think you have an excellent chance of getting into top schools, but of course, there are no guarantees.

Re: Chance Estimations: and suggested improvment
Check out my profile, slightly unusual situation, would obviously prefer top 10 or at least top 20, any thoughts?

Well you're from Asia so it may be harder for you, but on the other hand you're a female so this may balance out. I think you have a good looking profile, you should be able to get into some top schools (but hey what do I know I was the one who started the thread )
Re: Chance Estimations: and suggested improvment
I guess predicting admissions chances isn't an exact science, if it was, things would be a lot less interesting! Are there any admissions committee people in this forum?
