CEE/ES Kid Here

<p>Hey all</p>

<p>I'm thinking of going into Civil & Environmental Engineering or Environmental Studies. I'm most interested to know my chances at Yale (probably SCEA), MIT, Columbia, and Cornell.</p>

<p>I'm currently a junior from a competitive public in the northeast</p>

<p>GPA: 3.9
WGPA: 4.6
SAT I: 2190 (800 M), retaking for 2250+
SAT II: Bio - 800, Math 2 - 800, taking Chem this spring
AP: Comp Sci A - 5, Bio - 5 (self studied), Enviro - 4 (self studied)
Courseload: most rigorous possible in all areas, skipped one year of math, science, and comp sci, finishing all bio and chem courses this year, so I'll either do independent study or take bio and chem courses at Princeton next year</p>

<p>Environmental Club - President, founder
Debate League - President, VP, Varsity team (some awards)
Tutoring Society - VP, tutor
Amnesty International - Publicity Officer
Model United Nations
French National Honors Society</p>

<p>Not too many awards/honors right now, but I'm doing mad science stuff this year like USABO, USNCO, USACO, AMC 12, NJ Envirothon, National Ocean Sciences Bowl, NJ Science League, and my local ISEF-qualifying science fair, plus I'm continuing stuff like debate competitions, MUN conferences, and the National French Exam.</p>

<p>I was also nominated by my school for NJ Governor's School on the Environment.</p>

<p>My two main passions are environmental science and public issues. I want to pursue environmental studies in college.</p>

<p>So... what do you guys think? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Do something political. Maybe a community environmental awareness thing? Very easy to do through school. Governor's School is excellent, make sure you go; the nomination itself is only half-good. It all really depends on Chem/Calc AP Scores and some SAT2s. I think your chances are great.</p>

<p>Bumppppppp. I know you guys have more to say.</p>
