Chance Me for Lehigh, RPI, JHU, Tufts, Bucknell, URoch

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Lehigh, Tufts, Penn, Bucknell, URochester, RPI</p>

<p>Grade 12
White Male
Average Public High School</p>

<p>I want to major in engineering.</p>

<p>I may be interested in applying to JHU ED. It says subject tests are recommended, but not required. I will not have time to take the tests before the deadline. Should I just apply RD so I can submit subject tests, or do I have a chance without them? (I expect to score between 700-750 on Math 2 and Physics)</p>

<p>Scores:
SAT-Not Submitting
ACT: Comp-31 (not sure, but considering taking again)
34 English
31 Math
31 Reading
29 Science
8 Writing</p>

<p>GPA and Classes:
GPA Unweighted-3.67 (difficult courseload); Weighted-4.853 (top 5% of class of approximately 220)</p>

<p>I have taken the hardest possible courseload my high school offers. Additionally, I am one of two students taking every AP class available.</p>

<p>Classes of Notability:
AP US2
AP Biology
AP Calculus (AB?)
AP Physics (BC)
AP English
AP Chemistry
AP European History
Honors German 5 (only honors is offered)</p>

<p>EC's:
Math and Science Leagues, History Club, school science fair (won 1st one year), HS JV Baseball Team, couny baseball team, volunteer at food bank, volunteer at summer camp, volunteer for Relay for Life, and volunteer for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (writing essay about this). Volunteer work for the entirety of high school is around 350-400 hrs. </p>

<p>Work Experience:
Worked as a bagboy in a supermarket and a camp counselor at a summer camp.</p>

<p>Essay (common app): Overall, I think my essay is well written and unique. It is about how volunteering as a clown in the Macy's Thankgiving Day Parade (well known televised parade in NY) gave me the courage to express myself even though I was an intrinsically quiet and introverted person.</p>

<p>Supplements: My supplements also have a personal and unique twist to them.</p>

<p>URMs: None, middle class</p>

<p>Reccomendations: One will be from my German teacher, who I have had for 5 years. She knows me well and I am confident that the rec will be good. My other rec will be from my physics teacher; I know it will be good, but not as good as the latter.</p>

<p>Please no trolls that say that you can't get into a prestigious college without a 3.9-4.0, 2250-2400/33-36, and participating in a science olympiad, I know that is not true. Please give me your honest oppinion and any additional advice.</p>

<p>Thank you very much.</p>

<p>Sounds awesome. I think you’ll have a great shot, because just by reading your post, I get a sense of what you’re like as a person. If you play your strengths up in the essay, and if you take those subject tests, I’m pretty confident in your chances. Your EC’s show commitment but aren’t necessarily stellar, yet you seem like you’ve made the most out of your learning environment. Best of luck.</p>

<p>You have solid ECs, though.</p>

<p>Lehigh: High match (might have been a reach otherwise)
Tufts: Reach
RPI: Safety
JHU: Reach
Bucknell: Match/high match
URoch: Safety
UPenn: Reach (it is so for almost everyone but you have a shot)</p>

<p>I think Cornell is better than UPenn for engineering so if you stand a chance for UPenn, you stand a chance for Cornell too. Also, Tufts, Lehigh, UPenn, JHU are never safeties to anyone.</p>

<p>You seem to have excelled in your class.</p>

<p>Lehigh: Match
Tufts: Reach
RPI: Safety
JHU: Reach
Bucknell: Match
URoch: Safety
UPenn: Reach</p>

<p>I agree with Catria. While the engineering program at UPenn is quite good, Cornell offers a better program that might be a better fit for you.</p>
