Chance me at Mechanical Engineering at UMich, UIUC, GA Tech?

<p>Hey guys! So I initially thought that I was for sure getting in to UIUC.... that is until I realized that their engineering program is quite harder to get in to. My safety is UMCP, and i'm expecting my reach to be GA Tech and I feel like i have atleasts a decent chance at UIUC and UMich.</p>

<p>My stats are...</p>

<p>ACT: 33 composite; 36 on math, 32 on rest 10 essay (will retake september)</p>

<p>SAT 2: havent taken it yet but i'm expecting 750 on Math 2 and atleast a 700 on Physics 2</p>

<p>Unweighted/weighted GPA: 3.82/4.58</p>

<p>class rank: not given (probably around 10-12% though, not too bad considering it is whole school magnet)</p>

<p>APs: scored 5s on BC Calc (also AB subcore), NSL, World, Psych, Microecon, Macroecon. 4s on Lang and Phys B
(I think I qualify for national AP scholar award?)</p>

<p>Senior Course Load: Honors Ceramics (lol art credit required; put it off til senior year), Honors Health (same as ceramics), AP environmental Science, Multivariable Calc, AP Lit, AP human geo, Honors Sociology</p>

<p>Extra curricular: 2 year varsity cross country (9/10)
F.I.R.S.T. Robotics team (11/12)
business club member (secretary) (11/12)
ILT Representative (10) (this is part of the SGA. ILT stands for Instructional Leadership Team, where a representative from each grade discuss with ILT members which are group of teachers within the school and talk about how to motivate students and how to improve education in general within the school)
Math honors society
current intern for state delegate member (12)
Hospital volunteer for 2 summers (10/11)
Mission trip to Guatemala summer (11)</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Asian
Residence: Maryland</p>

<p>Hook: Legacy for Michigan (brother got in this year)... thats about it</p>

<p>in terms of course break down year by year (i feel like it's important to factor in my downward trend... D:)</p>

<p>9th grade: Gym, Spanish 2, Honors US History, Honors English 9, Honors Alg. 2, Honors Bio, Hon Foundation of Tech ----- Straight A's all year except first semester of Hon English
10th grade: AP Psych, AP Econ, AP NSL, Hon precalc, hon english 10, Spanish 3, Hon Chem ---- Straight A's except first semester of english and second semester of spanish
11th grade: AP Physics B (double pd), AP Calc BC, AP Computer Programming, AP World, AP Lang, Hon Spanish 4
Straight B's in Calc Spanish and Lang :( (does it help that i got 5 on calc and 4 on lang though??) and A's on the rest</p>

<p>thoughts/criticisms?</p>

<p>sorry for the bad formatting!</p>

<p>Umich you should get into and GA Tech. However seeing as your major is mechanical engineering UIUC will be a reach for anyone for engineering. Good luck though</p>

<p>Whoa, really? I expected Michigan to be just as competitive as UIUC and GA Tech to be even more so. Anyways, thanks!</p>
