SATII: 760BIOM 800CHEM 780MATH2 780PHYSICS</p>

<p>GPA: 96.3 unweighted
RANK: ~ top 3% (school doesn't rank)</p>

<p>ECs:
Science Research (local awards, summer work (bio) under prof. for intel siemens, etc.)
Math Team (local awards, ARML participant, AIME participant, elected team position)
Debate (local awards, state competitor, elected team position)
School Newspaper (editor)</p>

<p>Overall: very passionate about all ECs, very dedicated to all that I do, extremely hard worker</p>

<p>I am interested in engineering schools for possibl bioengineering, mechanical engineering, or computer engineering.</p>

<p>Please chance for engineering schools at MIT, Stanford, UPenn, Columbia, JHU, Caltech, Harvard (is this easier to get into because its predominantly liberal arts??), and Duke.</p>

<p>Thanks - if you want I can chance you back.</p>

<p>Any thoughts? I’ll give some input on your chance thread if you’d like.</p>

<p>Grades are fantastic, as are your test scores.
but im sure you know most ppl applying to these schools will have very good grades…</p>

<p>yea, your stats are about as good as they can get.
you may want to apply for like a bio/math combo b/c you seem to
show more focus in that area. but yeah, you’ve got as good a chance as just abt anybody.</p>

<p>btw do you mind chancing me?

<p>i don’t understand how harvard is “easy”
they turn away almost 75% of kids with perfect SAT scores.</p>

<p>good luck</p>

<p>I don’t agree that Harvard is easier to get into than MIT … they’re about the same, maybe Harvard is tougher.</p>

<p>Your chances are okay to me. Not great, but okay.</p>

7

<p>Harvard isn’t easier to get into than MIT because it’s less specialized, and because more people apply to it just for the name. </p>

<p>I’d say you have decent chances. I don’t see anything that separates you from any other MIT applicant, though. Maybe your essays can do that.</p>

<p>i meant whether harvard school of engineering and applied sciences is easier to get into than harvard college, because harvard isn’t known for its engineering as much as its language, history, english, etc. is this correct?</p>
