Recommendations:

10/10 CS Teacher who I have worked with since sophomore year. He taught me in AP CS and sponsors the CS Club. Furthermore, he helps supervise the organization of the hackathon. (Past UC Berkeley Professor)

9/10 English Teacher who I had in my junior year. Super close and shares common interest in GoT. (UC Berkeley Alumni, On the board of something at Berkeley)

Hooks:
Cornell legacy

Race: Asian
Income: around $90k a year (probably not much financial aid)

You should be good as long as you write great essays and rank near the top of your class (if your school has a ranking). You have a decent chance at extremely competitive schools ie. MIT or Caltech but you never know. Those colleges reject even some of the most deserving students. However, you’re virtually guaranteed to get into great engineering schools like GTech and UIUC.

You are a competitive applicant. Your stats and ECs are great. Write good essays and you could get accepted to any engineering school

@doorrealthe and @Shumax thanks so much!

Pls chance me for UCB, Cornell, UCLA, CMU, Purdue, UIUC, UPenn, UCSD, UCSB, UT Austin, GTech, and NYU

My child’s best friend (engineering applicant) with stats similar to yours though #3 in class of 250 was admitted to UT Austin, NYU, Purdue with no $ (a bit higher income than you), waitlisted at GTech, and rejected from CMU. It seems really unpredictable. And the state schools don’t seem to give much, if any, merit or financial aid to out of state applicants.

@ProfessorMom1 Thank you so much!!!
