<p>Hi,
I was rejected EA at Caltech-- should I bother with Stanford?
My parents think I should stick to my safeties: Cornell, CMU, Michigan and add one more safety much lower down RPI, possibly two: Adding Northeastern or RIT....</p>

<p>Here's my stats:
GPA 3.84 unweighted 4.61 weighted
SATIIs MathIIC 760 Chem 800 Bio 760
APs Chem 5, CompSci 5 Have Physics, Calc and Econ now
ACT 31 (I blew it ...)
ECs: Loads including FIRST Robotics, Math, sports leadership and meaningful community service.
Applying as an Engineering student
Hook: URM - AA, Took summer courses at Cornell and earned As
REcs : AMAZING</p>

<p>SHould I bother with Stanford knowing Caltech flat out rejected me EA?
Any other schools I should consider?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
