<p>Hi, I'm currently a junior in Ohio and this is what I'm expecting my college apps to look like. I may retake the ACT, but other than that it most likely won't change a lot.</p>
<p>ACT- 32 (31 E, 30 M, 30 R, 36 S)
Unweighted Cumulative GPA-3.99
Weighted - 4.359
Class Rank - 1/309</p>
<p>SAT IIs:
None yet, but I plan on taking Chemistry and Math II</p>
<p>APs:
This Year:
AP Chemistry
AP U.S. Government
Next Year:
AP Biology
AP English Comp
AP U.S. History
AP Calculus AB</p>
<p>Next year's classes:
Honors Physics
AP Biology
AP English Comp
AP U.S. History
AP Calculus AB
Honors Post War American Studies</p>
<p>ECs:
4 Years of Football (9th-Freshman, 10th-12th Varsity, Captain 12th)
4 Years of Varsity Track and Field
NHS officer (11th-12th)
STRIVE (anti-drug program) President (11th-12th)
FCA (Fellowship of the Christian Athlete, 9th-12th)
Student Government Rep (10th)
100+ Hours of Community Service (10th-12th)
Research in farm and industrial run-off with Bowling Green State University (This upcoming summer)
Ohio High School Sports Association Sportsmanship Ambassador (11th-12th)</p>
<p>I'm considering majoring in some type of Engineering (maybe Chemical) at:
Stanford
Cornell U
Columbia (Fu Engineering)
Northwestern
UC Berkeley
Georgia Tech
University of Michigan
Purdue University
Cincinnati</p>
<p>Any other college suggestions would be good too.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading.</p>
<p>I think you have a solid chance at most of the colleges you are looking at; Stanford and Columbia are reaches. Are you only taking 2 APs junior year? A lot of the Ivy applicants I know are taking 5+, just a side note! Knowing your AP test scores could help evaluate your chances- the essay and interview are also crucial components of your app. I would retake the ACT and try to raise it by 2 points but I don’t think that would matter as much. Good luck!</p>
<p>Stanford- High Reach (for everyone- seriously)
Columbia (Fu Engineering)- high reach (same as stanford)
Northwestern- high match/low reach
UC Berkeley- low reach
Georgia Tech- match
University of Michigan- match
Purdue University- match
Cincinnati- don’t know enough
Cornell- if you are a girl, match. If you are a guy, low reach (I looked at the data, acceptance rate of females into the engineering school is about 36%, for guys it is about 15%)</p>
<p>You have a good resume, lots of leadership but nothing that stands out a lot. I think you have a really good chance at all of these schools, but with ones like Columbia and Stanford it really is a crapshoot. If you have a super standout essay or a good hook it will increase your chances, but other than that, just score well on AP tests and SAT IIs. Maybe retake your ACT’s?</p>
<p>We are basically looking at the exact same schools. I took Berkeley off my list after visiting, and am not looking at purdue or Cincinnati, but other than that we are identical!
Chance me back?</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback! It is definitely appreciated!</p>
<p>A few things I forgot to mention:
I know my two APs this year might not look impressive, but, including next year’s classes, I will have taken every AP my school offers if that makes any difference. My school also follows the seven point grading scale (where a B is 92) and I have gotten all “A’s” with one “A-” which is why I have a 3.99 rather than a 4.00. I don’t know if any of these things will really make a difference, but I felt like I should mention them.</p>
<p>Anyone else have anything to say?</p>
<p>I would suggest you to look at Lafayette College!</p>
<p>Thanks! I’ll definitely take a look.</p>
<p>I’d say you have a great chance at all of these schools, but Stanford and cornell can be a crapshoot for anyone, although you have as good a chance as any. Like someone above me said, those schools are a reach for anyone, especially for something as competitive as engineering.</p>
<p>Chance back please

<p>Thanks! Chanced you back!</p>
<p>Stanford is a reach . actually i think stanford is just pure luck for everyone. low reach for columbia. high match for northwestern</p>
<p>I think you have a pretty good chance, your rank is great, strong ecs, but your act score seems a little low, maybe try taking the sat…
I’d also look at wpi (worceste polytechnic institute), 60 percent of students are majoring in engineering, they have a GREAT campus and it’s near Boston.</p>
<p>Chance me back? Lacking ecs?</p>
<p>I think you have pretty good chances at all schools besides Stanford and the IVY schools. You’re probably in at Georgia and purdue. I can see UM and UCB being very hard if you’re an out of state applicant. Very solid resume.</p>
<p>Chance back?</p>

<p>You have a chance at all schools. Like any schools, people who should get in don’t and people who shouldn’t do, but for the most part, save for the Ivies, I would be surprised if you didn’t get admitted.</p>
<p>Chance me back! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1071282-chance-me-please.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1071282-chance-me-please.html</a></p>
<p>As seen from your stats you are very qualified for a majority of these schools. THe only schools I would say your a reach in are Columbia, Stanford, and to a lesser extent Cornell, However everyone is. I would recommend getting some sort of award/medal in engineering, or take a summer program at one of those schools. This means one more recommendation letter from a Columbia, or Stanford(big brownie points).</p>
<p>Return the favor?</p>

<p>i agree with most of the above posters.</p>
<p>Going for engineering, but you might want to try adding another SAT II more on the literature/languages side (maybe History/foreign lang/literature). I mean, all of your credentials point toward a strong focus and direction in sci/engineering, but an engineer candidate with a head for words? A bonus!</p>
