Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello! I'm new to CC but I know how this works.</p>

<p>I'm a Vietnamese male, hopefully majoring in civil engineering, living on the West Coast. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>Numbers:
GPA: 3.4 UW, 3.8 W
SAT: 2010 (gonna submit ACT instead)
ACT: 34; 10 essay
Subject Tests: Math 2 (800), Chem (700)
Class load: The most rigorous except I took Honors English 11 instead of AP Lang.
AP Scores: AB Calc (5), BC Calc (5), APUSH (4), Chem (4), World History (5), CompSci (5)</p>

<p>ECs:
-Science Olympiad participant since 7th grade. 30+ medals, including 8 gold medals (at every level of competition except Nationals). National Tournament participant twice; received a Nats medal once. Current Team Captain.
-Chess Club: Founder/President. Offered a job to teach chess to new elementary school players.
-Math Team: Participated in 7 contests, including the AMC 12.
-Community Service: Volunteer at a hospital since freshman year. Also formed a comm. service group with friends that was recognized by a local TV News station.
-Orchestra member since 4th grade. 1st chair violinist since freshman year. Played at weddings, restaurants, etc. during junior year.
-Math tutor for a private tutoring company since freshman year.</p>

<p>Other Awards:
-International engineering award
-Winner of a Lego contest</p>

<p>I know my numbers aren't impressive (especially my GPA), but given that people from my highly competitive (top 100 ranked) school sends kids with 3.4 UW GPAs to Cornell and people with 3.8 UW GPAs to "upper" Ivies and Stanford every year, what are my chances at:</p>

<p>-Harvey Mudd
-UC Berkeley
-Georgia Tech
-Johns Hopkins
-RPI
-UCLA
-USC</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback, and I'll chance you back if you wish.</p>

<p>Your ECs are great! Although your GPA is on the lower side. That might change a few acceptances into outright rejections. If you can write great essays which explain the reason for your <em>low</em> GPA, you might get into most of the colleges listed above.</p>
