Chance for Stanford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, UMich?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm pretty confident I can get into at least UMich, but you can never really be sure. I'm a rising senior and would just like to calm my nerves a bit before I start the seemingly everlasting trek of applying to colleges. </p>

<p>Info:
Female
Permanent resident (Belarussian citizen)
Michigan resident
Intended major: Computer science / Symbolic Systems if I go to Stanford
Possibly a technical theatre minor where available</p>

<p>I've taken the chemistry and math II subject tests, but haven't received the scores yet.</p>

<p>Classes:
Freshman/Sophomore - Honors math and English
Junior - AP chem, AP English, AP Euro, AP CompSci, honors math
Senior - AP psych, AP English, AP Calc BC, AP Physics C, AP Stats</p>

<p>ECs:
Theatre - worked backstage since freshman year, became stage manager and got elected as an officer sophomore year
FIRST Robotics - joined this year, I worked on the build team and got a leadership position for next year.</p>

<p>Jobs:
I work for the district doing backstage work for groups that rent out our school's auditorium. The work varies from running sound/lights/props if need be, to babysitting small children if all the other adults are busy. Fun stuff.</p>

<p>I'm also attending Carnegie Mellon's Pre-college program this summer. I got accepted for the diversity scholarship APEA program, and will be taking a programming and philosophy course.</p>

<p>If you’re instate then you’re a match for Michigan. Same for CMU. However, Stanford and MIT are both significant reaches.</p>

<p>Make sure to make the most out of that summer program. You’re on the right track, but I would advise that you either learn more programming languages, or learn the ones you know now more in depth. Do you think you did well on your Subject Tests?</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice.</p>

<p>I feel like I did pretty well on the tests, because I found them fairly easy and wasn’t stressed whilst taking them. I’m not too worried about them, and if worse comes to worse I’ll just retake them.</p>

<p>I just got my SATII scores in; 690 for chem and 750 for math II. I’ll going to retake the chemistry test, but is a 750 on math enough or should I retake that one too?</p>

<p>750 math is fine. Ideally you want to break 700, however for math you probably want to have a 750+, which you do.</p>
