<p>I was thinking of possibly Chem E or Computer E, or maybe Undecided Engineering, if that's easier to get into.
GPA: 3.83 weighted, probably around 3.7 unweighted (on a 4.0 scale)
SAT I: 720 Math, 800 Reading, 800 Writing
SAT II Math IIC: 800
Actually, they don't look at SAT II's, do they?
Currently a high school Senior.
As far as the GPA thing is concerned, I skipped a grade in math and physics relative to the other students in the school. Dunno if admissions officers really care about that though.</p>
<p>5's in AP Gov, World History, Physics C E&M, Calculus BC, and a 4 in Physics C Mechanics.
Taking AP Microecon, Euro, Chem, Bio, and Literature this year.</p>
<p>Currently in the Columbia Science Honors Program
Won medals at DECA state competition (although this is probably unmeaningful)
Had an internship at 2 biotech companies, totaling about 600 hours
Had a brief internship at an IT firm, totaling about 100 hours
And CTY, i guess, but that doesn't really matter.
I do some in-school stuff, but not significant enough to talk about (like treasurer of Japanese Club and VP of Current Events club, etc)</p>
<p>I'm a resident of New York, and Asian American.</p>
<p>And let's assume decent essays. I'm probably being extremely optimistic in the unweighting, it could be anything from 3.55 to 3.7, since I took quite a few honors classes. </p>
<p>And if someone who knows about how admissions selectivity works is posting, I would appreciate it if they could explain the importance of SATs relative to GPA.
My friend who got in is telling me about how easy it was to get in, but I'm highly skeptical...</p>
<p>Thank you for your time. :)</p>
<p>I could also chance back, although I'm not sure how much authority you should put behind another high-schooler weighing your chances.</p>
