Chance for MIT stanford, cal, carng mell, georg tech, illinois urba-cha

<p>Hey, guys, I am currently finishing up my junior year, and my summer is set. I know I haven't gone thgouh my senior year,but my teachers and i all think my prediction for senior year is pretty accurate. I work really hard, and am a pretty fast learner, and am willing to stay up until past 12 to finish the work, sometimes i stay up until 3 or 4 to get the work done. Please don't write negative stuff about me overestimating my seniro year, i dont' wnat to be cocky but my math and science teachers all think i am very capable of doing it. I am looking at schools like MIT,Stanford, UC berkeley, UC LA, Caltech, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, Unv Illinois Urbana-Ch and for major either mechanical or electrical, but i will make sure i either have a minor in cs or at least a lot of classes in cs. so ya, here is all my stuff, please ratee:</p>

<p>Freshman:
AlgII/Trig
Biology
Freshman Lit
Computer Applications
Freshman PE
Chinese I
Freshman aren't allowed to take history, i know, weird</p>

<p>Summer:
Paid job helping out at summer camp for kids (700ish dollars)</p>

<p>Sophomore:
Pre-Calc (H)
Chem (H)
World Lit
World History
Chinese II
Biology TA</p>

<p>Summer:
C++
Intro Physics</p>

<p>Junior:
AP Calc BC
AP USh
AP Bio
AP Comp Sci
AP Physics C Mech (At community college)
AP Physics C EM (At community college)
American Lit (H)
Chinese III</p>

<p>Summer:
Internship at Lawrence Hall UC Berkeley on x-rays and extreme ultraviolet radiation for 7.5 weeks, 5 days a week, 8 hrs a day, and got paid total of 2000 dollars, and wrote a paper on my research there, will tryto enter science competitions
Wrote a chess AI in my spare time there using Java, plays decently</p>

<p>Senior:
AP Stats
AP Chem
Chinese IV (H)
Multimedia (photoshop, flash, that kind of stuff)
Regular senior lit, decided not to take ap lit
AP microecon second semester/regular gov first semester (everyone has to take reg gov)
AP Bio TA first semester, weight training second semester
Community college fall: Calc D, and a physics one level past AP Physics C EM which is "fluids optics waves thermo"
Community college winter: Diff eq, Linea alg</p>

<p>Self study ap physics B and macro econ</p>

<p>SAT II: 800 on Math II, chem, bio, physics
SAT I: 2350, but got a 770 on math b/c i made one stupid mistake >:(</p>

<p>All 5s on ap tests</p>

<p>A's in every class</p>

<p>Sports: MVP froshsoph team (basically jv team) x-country freshman yr, and also considered a varsity team member b/c of my rankings and times (pure technical luck), won 7 medals, made it to CCS
Then sophomore year won 2 medals, 3rd runner on varsity,made CCS, quit running after sophomore year, sigh</p>

<p>Piano:
Certificate/merit level 10 in freshman and sophomore year, also in senior yr but no one will see that :(
National guild test + excellence award in sophomore year
have played from 2nd grade to 12th grade</p>

<p>extracurr
robotics programmer 10 - 12 grade
JETS (engineering team) president/founder/team leader since junior year, team got 50/239 teams in our first year, expecting to be way better my senior year, and we did not have a coach my junior year
build a small car with my friends for a smaller robotics challenge sophomore year, didn't work properly, but hey, not bad.
Math club 10 - 12, but didn't win any awards, it seems like i'm not very good at competition math
chemistry olympiad semifinalist
write random programs on ti calculator</p>

<p>community service: very little, less than 100 hrs, and inconsistent</p>

<p>essay: on my research experience</p>

<p>letters of rec: all three are really great, from junior lit teacher, from junior bio teacher, from research prof</p>

<p>intended major: mechanical or electrical, not quite sure yet. but i will definately have a minor or take lots of classes in comp sci.</p>

<p>One thing though, my community college transcript is like a 3.9 ish because i got some A-s in some classes, and A-s count as 3.8 in the community college, but the universities shoudl still recognize them as A's right?</p>

<p>so ya, this is what i've done, so i would really appreciate it if you guys could chance me for schools like MIT,Stanford, UC berkeley, UC LA, Caltech, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, Unv Illinois Urbana-Ch.</p>

<p>You should certainly be into all but Stanford and the theh schools. I’m guessing you’re Asian and from the Bay Area which will make Stanford tough given the competition and the other two take many fitting your description but also reject many fitting it. You don’t give us class rank. If you’re 1 or 2 it will really help.</p>

<p>As for the state schools, are they all affordable paying OOS tuition?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I lol’d a little bit</p>

<p>So only Stanford would be a reach then? As for class rank, my school does not rank but I am confident that I am at least top 5, maybe higher.</p>

<p>I would say you can rest assured for UCB, UCLA, and CMU. Being top 5 in the class with your SAT score definitely will put you at great chances for the rest (MIT, CIT, Stanford).</p>

<p>Research + passion = acceptance. Usually.</p>

<p>

Lol, I do that too. TI 84 or 89?</p>

<p>No chance!!! Tell your son to try harder</p>

<p>Bump? Anyone else have something to say?</p>

<p>Hi guys, please give ur opinions</p>
