Chance an incoming junior! Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, UC Berkeley.

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am a white male starting my junior year at a public school in Kansas. I am interested in studying Computer Science and Japanese (and doing marching band and other musical opportunities) in college. </p>

<p>School:
Weighted GPA: 4.49
Unweighted GPA: 3.96
AP: European History (4 on exam)
APs this year: Calc BC, CA3, US Gov, Psychology
Grades: all A's except for a B first semester of AP Euro.</p>

<p>SAT (after sophomore year)
2080 (math: 780, reading: 640, writing: 660 [I screwed up the essay, big time])
I will retake the SAT, plus do more standardized tests, over the next two years.</p>

<p>Extracurricular Music:
Section leader in band
Secretary of Tri-M (music honor society)
8th chair clarinet at all-state band
1 rating at state solo for two years
1st chair of youth symphony
Basketball pep band
Full orchestra
Private lessons on clarinet</p>

<p>Computers:
I've made websites for myself and clients, plus I'm teaching myself Java / Android programming at the moment. There's next to nothing computer-related at school, so I have to find and do stuff on my own.</p>

<p>Other random groups:
Science Olympiad (freshman year)
National Honor Society - possible member</p>

<p>Volunteering:
13 hours as a TA at programming summer program
12 hours repurposing computers at church for non-profits</p>

<p>As I said, I am interested in CS, Japanese, and music. The three main colleges I'm interested in are Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, and UC Berkeley, but you can compare me against any selective college in general. </p>

<p>My main question is: am I on track? Is there anything else I should be doing? I'm just starting my junior year, so I still have time.</p>

<p>If you can get your SAT scores up, you have an amazing chance at all of those schools! Have you looked at Cornell at all, I think it would be good for you! Good luck!</p>
