Applying to colleges this year, chances of getting in...

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi,
I want to attend a good university. I am a foreigner/immigrant (senior in high school, class of 2011), and live in Connecticut. Right now, I have a 3.7-ish GPA (unweighted, on a 4.0 scale) and 4.0 weighted and have taken 4 AP classes so far:
AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Computer Science and AP US History. I am taking 3 more APs this upcoming year: AP Physics and AP Economics + Calculus BC.</p>

<p>I participate in Math League and an engineering club at school. I also play volleyball (3 years so far+next year (varsity)). </p>

<p>My SAT scores are 1900/2400 (520 Reading, 640 Writing, 740 Math)+ 10/12 on the essay part. Taking another SAT I test in October again.
My Chem SAT II score is 640 and math 2 SAT II is 730.
I also took TOEFL and will be getting my results in a week or so. My AP Chem, AP US History and AP Comp Sci scores are coming somewhere in the end of the month. </p>

<p>I also have a couple awards for academic achievements in math and science. </p>

<p>I am interested in engineering (mostly computer engineering) and have been taking an engineering course in my school for 2 years. I love math and physics. I speak two languages (my native and English).</p>

<p>I am looking at some good schools like University of Connecticut, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Boston University (not sure how good their comp engineering program is), and Cornell (I might as well apply to 1 or 2 Ivy schools just in case lady luck is on my side).</p>

<p>So, what do you think about my perspectives on getting into these colleges?</p>

<p>As an international with a 3.7 GPA and a 1900 SAT, your chances at Cornell are second-to-none. Sorry to break it to ya :(</p>

<p>That said, you have a good, maybe even great, shot at Boston University. Write good essays, communicate your passions, and you’ll likely be admitted. Same goes for the other schools listed.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>

<p>You have a chance at Cornell. You’re right you never know what could happen. You should def apply!</p>

<p>decrescendo, I am not an international student. I am a permanent resident here with a green card.</p>

<p>rotflmaospencer, I’ll probably do that. You never know</p>
