So that pretty much is a high school career. I want to be an engineer.
As far my Gap Year: In the Summer I will do ReBuild NJ. I will be trained and certified in certain construction tasks and then lead groups of volunteers in the effort to build homes for families that lost their homes in Hurricane Sandy.
In the Fall I will do City Year. I will be assigned to a school where I will help students that are in danger of dropping out bridge the “GAP”. I will be a teacher, tutor and mentor to those kids. I hope to really inspire them.
ON to schools. Below is a picture of top Engineering Schools (I literally just looked up top engineering schools on USNEWS and run down the list) that I have entered into Admitster with my stats.
PLEASE tell me if you feel that this is ACCURATE.

I’m sure that the UC Berkeley and UCLA and some others are off, don’t know.
I will be going to Wisconsin and will establish residency so UW Madison is looking good.
I also want you to tell me how I look for UT, UMich, and UIUC and Cornell.
Thank you so much!!!
