Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi guys! I'm pretty new to the forums here on college confidential. Well, this is actually my first I believe. But I found this section of the forum to be interesting, and I figured that I would test it out my self! I'd rather know the brute truth rather than some sugar coated note of encouragement, so please leave your honest opinion!</p>

<p>Activities:
Captain of Cross Country, Indoor Track, and Outdoor track since 11th Grade

<p>Alright, I'm really riding on the fact that I'm a female applying into the engineering program, so please also take that into consideration:</p>

<p>Bucknell University
Lehigh University
Colgate University
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
University of Connecticut
Northeastern University
Tulane University</p>

<p>So what are my chances? I'll chance you back as well!</p>

<p>Excellent chances at RPI, WPI, UConn and Northeastern. Unsure on the others. Best of luck!</p>

<p>I don’t know much about the schools, but I wanted to let you know that work experience is looked at.</p>

4

<p>Does Colgate have an engineering program?</p>

<p>I believe that Colgate has an engineering program! (At least the option was there when I applied.) I haven’t personally seen Colgate yet, but my guidance counselor told me that I should apply, so I said what the heck, why not. It’s also nice to hear that employment is at least looked it, even a little. I swear, holding a job, AP’s, and sports is a very busy schedule. (Though I’m sure many of the people on this forum are far busier than I am).</p>
