<p>-3.77 UW gpa; strong grades in AP Calculus and AP physics
-1940 SAT 590 CR, 670 M, 680 W
- Mediocre extracurrics although I did start my own app development company
- Good essay</p>
<p>Low reach/high match good luck</p>
<p>Your SAT score is low. Raise it. Take SAT II Math level 2 and get 790+.</p>
<p>Why would you wanna go to Colorado School of Mines? 70% male lol…</p>
<p>790+? Ha that’s rich</p>
<p>You do realize you can omit 5 and still get 790? The curve on SAT Math II level 2 is very lenient.</p>
<p>Its not too much to expect for a future engineer/scientist to be able to score that high.</p>
<p>You don’t have to take my advice, but a good SAT Math II score will help you.</p>
<p>According to this, the standards are not as harsh as you make them out to be : [Colorado</a> School of Mines - GPA, SAT Scores and ACT Scores Needed for Admission](<a href=“http://collegeapps.about.com/od/GPA-SAT-ACT-Graphs/ss/colorado-school-of-mines-admission-gpa-sat-act.htm]Colorado”>Colorado School of Mines: Acceptance Rate, SAT/ACT Scores, GPA)</p>
<p>Mines does not require an essay for admissions. They do for their full-tuition scholarships, though (which you have to be invited to apply to).</p>
<p>I think you’re going to need to up your SAT.</p>
<p>If you’re OOS you are really going to need to increase your stats. What about taking the ACT? They accept either and some people (my son!) do better on it than SAT.</p>
