<p>Hey guys. Before I begin, I realize the ambiguity of the college admissions process and and in the end it's not about what's said on the forum but what the university decides.</p>
<p>My dream schools are Cal,Stanford, CMU, and Caltech (engineering) and was wondering how strong my app would look when applying.</p>
<p>SAT: 2290
Grades: I've taken no regular classes throughout my high school career and have not gotten below an A-.
10th- 1 AP and 5 honors
11th- 4 AP and 2 honors
12th- 4 AP and 2 honors
Sports:
I play on the varsity golf team and am by no means the next Tiger Woods, but I have a passion for the sport, regardless of how good I am or will be.
ECs:
I started a technology website that has gathered a considerable following. I also volunteer heavily for one non-profit which pays for college tuition for those in third-world countries. I feel I am personally connected with the organization and I have a story to tell about it. I also am part of DECA, a business club, and I go to most of their conferences and am reasonably involved. Furthermore, I volunteer for TiE50, a contest that helps recognize start-ups and it is through the program that we've managed to raise $2 billion for the various companies. I've done it since freshman year and hope it will show my entrepreneurial flare. </p>
<p>How do my chances look at Cal, Stanford, CMU, or really any top school for that matter.</p>
