<p>Ok I am a white male from California. I go to a "inner city" high school.</p>

<p>I want to do Mechanical Engineering.</p>

<p>SAT I - R 600, M 780, W 610 Total = 1990
SAT II - Math II 770, Physics 670 (was only half way through the class when I took the test)</p>

<p>GPA weighted 4.47
Unweighted 3.82</p>

<p>Classes this year</p>

<p>AP Gov
Gate Econ (did not offer AP the period I need)
AP Physics
College level Film Class
AP Literature
Calculus 150 (AB) at the city college and taking Calculus 160 (BC) next semester.</p>

<p>Awards: School AMC 12 math contest winner last year. Then a bunch of other regular awards like Community service, NHS, honor roll and CSF. </p>

<p>ECS: Building houses in Mexico 2 years.
Family Care center volunteering 40 hours
Short movie set internship 40 hours
Annual fashion show tech helping. 4 years. 16 hours a year.
Other random ones.</p>

<p>Good Essays and Teacher recs.</p>

<p>Now my schools.</p>

<p>I applied to a lot of reaches but would be fine going to cal poly if I do not get into any of the reaches</p>

<p>Cal Poly SLO
UCSD
UC Berkeley
University of Florida
GA Tech
Rensselaer
Harvey Mudd
Olin
Duke
Carnegie Mellon
Stanford</p>

<p>sats seem pretty low, and 770 IIC compared to what i imagine to be a sea of engineering applicants with higher SAT iis probably doesnt bode too well for stanford, berkeley (if indeed mech e), olin, and hmc, the rest i know little about</p>

<p>I won’t say match/reach,etc…
Cal Poly SLO - in
UCSD - in
UC Berkeley - out
University of Florida - mhm ~~
GA Tech - ~~
Rensselaer - in
Harvey Mudd - in
Olin - don’t know enough
Duke - out
Carnegie Mellon - out
Stanford - out</p>

4

<p>Harvey Mudd - in?</p>

<p>I think that is one of the harder schools I am applying to. </p>

<p>Thanks for the input it is just about what I was expecting.</p>

<p>Hopefully I get lucky and get into either Duke, Harvey Mudd, Stanford or Carnegie Mellon. Maybe I have about a 20% chance.</p>

<p>I do not really want to go to Olin even-though if I ever got in. It just seemed like a cool idea when I applied.</p>

5

<p>your SATI is a bit low for Harvey Mudd and Stanford…</p>

<p>But good gpa for sure..</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You’re right about that. Mudd is definitely a reach for you. Ignorant posters usually have no idea what they’re talking about when it comes to Mudd.</p>
