<p>I have finished my Junior year and am moving onto Senior year.
The colleges I'm targeting are:</p>
<p>Stanford
MIT
Berkeley
UT
A&M
Caltech</p>
<p>I'm probably going to major in Chemical Engineering. Also, I live in Texas so that should help me with UT and A&M</p>
<p>SAT: 2310 Reading 710, Math 800, Writing 800
SAT Math 2: 800
SAT Chemistry: 690 (oops?)
SAT Foreign Language :800</p>
<p>I have not taken any ACT's yet but i'm planning on doing so in Senior year.</p>
<p>AP scores
I don't really know any of them right now, because I'm not really at home so I haven't received the scores back yet..</p>
<p>Junior Classes:
Spanish 3
Chemistry AP
Statistics AP
US History AP
English III AP
Band
Study Hall</p>
<p>I have basically been trying to take all AP classes.
So far, I have received 3 B's and I'm planning(?) on not getting any Senior year
Those are my grades so far </p>
<p>Extracurricular Activities:
Spanish National Honor Society.
Symphonic Band for 3 years so far
Librarian Officer Position in Band for 2 years
Captain in Band for 1 year
Jazz Band for 3 years
Musical Pit for 2 years
Solo and Ensemble State Qualified Ensemble and Solo
in a Math club
Volunteer club Leader
Odyssey of the Mind competed and won almost every year Regional and State Level. Have been doing this for about 6 years now.</p>
<p>I have about 250+ hours for volunteering</p>
<p>I realize that this really isn't much... but hopefully some feedbacks will help me decide which colleges to apply to and which to not. I scrolled down and saw one post and that person's Resume was just outstanding.. Mine is basically nothing compared to her's but well success comes to those who try!!</p>
<p>Might want to re-take the SAT II chem. Unfortunately your ECs arent really outstanding, but there is really no reason to worry about that now. Other than that everything seems in check and you’re looking at a good chance at at least one admission from MIT, Caltech, or Stanford.</p>
<p>Thanks!! but the thing is, I’m not sure if I can do better on the Chem SAT II. When I took it, I thought I did rather well, but as it turned out, I kind of… failed?
So, I might just not take it and hope they overlook that…??? but since my major IS chemical Engineering, and all my chemistry related stuff is kind of low… should I? even though I might get lower score?</p>
<p>I think it would be in your favor to retake the test for two reasons:
You might do better
If you don’t do better, you will at least know whether or not you still want to do a Chemistry related major or not.
Are you interested in biology at all? You could try to do a BME major with pre-med at one of the Texas schools. Sure it will be tough but after 4 years, you have the option of further pursuing engineering or taking the MCAT and going into medicine. </p>
<p>I am doing pre-med with a Chemical Engineering major myself. If you do end up choosing chemE as your major then definitely look into doing pre-med as well because your job prospective will go up greatly.</p>
<p>My parents were actually asking me if I wanted to go pre-med as well. But the truth is, my 9th grade teacher basically destroyed all my potential interests in Biology and now I hate it. I guess I should… I’ll take the upcoming SAT II test and probably study my butt off for it… The thing is, I actually do enjoy Chemistry. I thought I was rather decent at it, but SAT II score showed me otherwise.</p>
<p>Honestly, I’m not fond of Biology either. However, when it comes to anatomy & physiology, I am the happiest student ever. I chose pre-med/medicine as a career option simply because I’m fascinated with the human body, not necessarily because I like biology. Sure having a knack for bio and liking it will be beneficial to you, but it is not necessary to become a good doctor who loves his/her job. I would really think about trying out pre-med and seeing if you like it. Coupled with an engineering major, it could do you wonders.</p>
