Chance at UIUC or UMichigan Engineering?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>UIUC is University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, btw.</p>

<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
SAT II Physics: probably around 750 (took in October)
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.
Class rank, 2nd decile... yeah. </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>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>

<p>okay, U of Michigan is exxtreemely competitive for engineering, but i think you have a decent chance considering your strong scores. But I think you have a great chance at UIUC. Apply to schools on the west coast as well, the UC’s have fantastic engineering programs! and so does USC. you might want to find out your GPA, there seems to be much of a difference between 3.5 and 3.7.
Also, don’t write “decent” essays.
write fantastic essays. that might be a make or break considering your GPA. but your hard scores, and your EC’s are amazing
chance back please.</p>
