<p>Varsity Crew rower.

<p>Can get great letters of recommendation from science teachers.</p>
<p>Will have also spent 5 weeks at the Tennessee Governor's School for Humanities- was very competitive for admissions. Spend 5 weeks at a university of tennessee campus taking college courses, completely paid for by the state.</p>
<p>Interested in Chemical Engineering.
I am also considering army ROTC. Would this influence my admissions chances anywhere?</p>
<p>What are my chances at:
Virginia Tech
Georgia Tech
Rose-Hulman Inst. of Tech
Notre Dame
Purdue
Vanderbilt
Tennessee (in Knoxville)</p>
<p>In at RHIT, high chance at Georgia tech. as for everything else, I don’t know.
also Check WPI and RPI, your stats are in their range.</p>
<p>I have looked at RPI before, but since i live in very southern tennessee, it is about 12 hours to get there. That seems a little bit too far. My family and I cannot afford plane tickets for me, and it seems to be too far of a drive…</p>
<p>RPI and WPI are actually both about 15 hours from me. Which is pretty darn far for me. especially if I want to visit over the holidays.</p>
<p>You are in, in almost all of them.</p>
<p>anyone have other suggestions for similar schools on the eastern half of the continent? no more than 10 hours from tennessee…?</p>
<p>For chemical engineering, don’t forget UDel…Dupont territory. Good honors college and very good merit scholarships…and there’s the rowing of course.</p>
<p>I’ll look into it… But I’m most likely not rowing in college… (especially if i do rotc!) In which case being in Dupont territory wouldn’t matter much… I’d be training somewhere in the south most likely after graduation. After my active duty service was done I don’t know if I would come back and go to graduate school, or try to get a job.</p>
<p>any other engineering schools or insight to those mentioned above? I guess i’m adding delaware to my list as a possibility! </p>
<p>*and as for extra curricular i just found out today that i was one of three guys at my school to be nominated to attend the American Legion Boys State government and leadership camp this summer.</p>
