<p>wow ur a rising junior why are u doing this ?!! ahha wait another year but ill chance you to the best of my knowledge </p>

<p>okay 1st suggestions

  1. aim higher on ur TEST SCORES! esp MIT and since u want to do
    engineering get 750+ on ur SAT2’s ( getting a 800 in math IIC isnt rly that hard)
  2. work on those ECs you stil have two years from looking at ur ECs i wouldn’t be able to tell you want to major in engineering try to get a summer internship or something the summer before your senior year
  3. get ur gpa up for MIT and Duke 3.75+ un weighted GPA is competitive just get good grades junior+ 1st semester senior year and take alot of Ap classes
    but as of rite now </p>

<p>MIT: HIGH reach
Duke: reach
Carnegie Mellon: reach
Georgia Tech: idk prob. match
NYU Polytechnic Institute: ditto
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: ditto
Worcester Polytechnic Institute: ditto
University of Connecticut: in
Gateway Community College: haha innn why are u applying to a community college?</p>

<p>Well, NYU-Poly is good at CS and EE… but I don’t think that will be hard to get into. However, if you are gonna apply for that, make sure that you apply for honors…</p>

<p>izy2492 is right.
You still have two years, bring up your gpa and test scores.
It’s way to early to “chance you”.</p>

<p>^yeah.</p>

<p>Not to mention, these colleges may change in reputation. I’m mostly talking about NYU-Poly. I think it’s an okay-decent college now, but in the next few years, with NYU mothering it, it should improve significantly. There’ve been a few changes already.</p>
