<p>I have a gold in my states math fair.
I have attended the Ross Mathematics Program at Ohio State University
NYU math circle
WOOT online olympiad training.
Prospective participant in Intel Science Talent Search
SAT should be above 2250.
Will get good teacher recommendations.
My school normally gets some good connections, but not guaranteed.</p>
<p>I am the leader of two clubs at my school, the TSA Engineering Team and the Math Club. I also lead my schools math team that participates in the Mandelbrot Team Play competition. Additionally, my friend and I recently started a Technology Committee at our school with the main purpose of assessing the ways our school uses technology and other internet services. For example, my friend and I are responsible for introducing the use of IPads for all students at my school.</p>
<p>I also tutor kids weekly for math at a local boys and girls club. My work with the kids have produced great results and i am expecting a good letter of recommendation from the boys and girls club.</p>
<p>My intended major would be engineering and math. My school actually does not provide a gpa so i dont know what it would be, but my school college counselor told me that colleges are aware of that. What do u think i could do to give myself a chance at some of those top schools? Also, would you recommend another schools for me?</p>
<p>Win Intel, get scores as high as you can (2250 is low for Yale without a hook), get a solid A this year, work in an engineering related setting this summer or apply for competitive summer program.</p>
<p>When you say win intel, do you mean actually win or just become at least a semi-finalist? Also, for this summer I did apply to Simons, which I heard is very competitive and looks good on an application.</p>
<p>Anything free and competitive is a big plus, RSI would be top of the heap. As for Intel, go as far as you can. If you live near a University try for some research during the school year and/or take some advanced math/science/engineering classes.</p>
