<p>Right now I am a senior in High School and I will be applying to schools soon. I just thought I should get some input about my chances at some of the schools I will apply to. Right now I am 5th out of 195 students in my class with a uw gpa of 3.4 I believe and a weighted gpa of a 4.0. My first sat' was really bad i got a 1640: cr 610 , 520 m, 510 w, I think on my math section I omitted one question and never compensated on the answer so I screwed myself up. But I just took them again so well see. Im taking sat subject test in november: US History and Math IIc. In my school I have taken these classes :

<p>EC's: Football for four years - 2 year starter, Chess 2 years, Deca, National Honor Society, Jr. Honor Society, News Paper, American Politics Club. Taking up winter track this year and possibly spring track just to keep busy and fit after football. I have work experience at a restaurant and plan on getting another job in the spring. I did really try my hand at student government and I was vp of my class for a year but it wasn't for me, I did do the job and went around trying to raise money. I don't think I will put it on my application though its not something I really care to speak because of all the shady stuff that went on with it, for example the class adviser "Lost" the class's money, actually what happened was that a student stole out of the advisers room and the adviser knew who it was and never did anything. After all this she told me she would not sign off on my transcript as being class vp because she said I "neglected my duties" but you know people like that always get there in the end so I have my fingers crossed. But moving on. </p>
<p>So after all that (neglect the stuff about the vp of the class that is just me rambling) what do think of my chances of getting into any of the schools below. As far as essays go I have been told by my English teachers I write really well. The major I want to go for in college is engineering. I'm still trying to decide what discipline to go into, i'm between Aerospace, Mechanical, or Nuclear. I'm leaning towards mechanical though for undergrad and then nuclear for graduate school. As far as all the other stuff goes Im white, low income family, first generation student, from Massachusetts. Okay so what do you all think my chances are for the schools below. Any other schools you could recommend I take a look at would be greatly appreciated. </p>

Boston U
Worcester Poly Tech
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Georgia Institute of Technology (reach ik)
Texas A&M University

University of Massachusetts Amherst (safety)
UC San Diego (Major Reach i think but still want some input)</p>
