<p>I've pretty much maintained straight As freshman through junior year. However, I really regret not picking up more extracurriculars earlier on in high school. I had no idea that colleges placed so much emphasis on them; I really didn't find out until I discovered College Confidential. Likewise, I also had no idea of the power of community service on college applications; I thought doing it was limited to convicts or something. I've worked extremely hard in all of my classes these past three years, and I expect to work pretty damn hard my senior year as well.</p>

<p>I know I also need a science SAT Subject Test. I'll get to work on that soon.</p>

<p>I'm uncertain as to whether or not I have a chance at these higher-end colleges. What do you guys think?</p>

<p>rotcman doesn’t know what he is talkinga bout. Ivies and their equivalents expect high math SAT and SAT II scores especially for a prospective engineering major and a 680 and 740 doesn’t cut it.</p>

<p>UVA - low match
UC-Berkeley - Reach
Cornell - Reach
Carnegie Mellon - Low reach
Stanford - High Reach
MIT - High Reach</p>

<p>Those student of the year carry minimal weight, if you’re going to list them for awards, list them all in one category like school awards</p>

<p>Also, your application seems rather weak for MIT and Stanford</p>

<p>Berkeley - reach</p>

<p>but I would still encourage you to apply there</p>
