<p>The only thing that makes me nervous about this is the SAT score. Colleges tend to look past SAT scores once they are above a certain par, but if you don’t make the cut it could get ugly. You have to have a really strong personal profile for this to work. Make sure your essay reflects something that you are interested in, and portrays you as a student who will give something to the campus. Top schools are trying desperately to find “normal” people with extraordinary talent. This is why many asian students with monster 2300+ SATs and 4.0 but no ECs other than math and piano competitions often get surprise rejections from schools.</p>
<p>Your GPA and rank are fantastic, and the ECs are good as long as you show how involved you are.</p>
<p>Overall I’d say your best shot is Cornell, but I’d recommend some other safeties. For engineering try Lehigh, Lafayette, Villanova, UVa, Northeastern etc…</p>
<p>You’re the total opposite of me. I’ve got 2330 but a 3.7. I’d rather be in your position right now because from what I’ve heard, colleges think that the transcript is the #1 indicator of college success.</p>
