<p>Intended Major: Something Engineering or Computer Science</p>

<p>Senior year courses: 5 APs, 13 AP courses total throughout high school</p>

<p>My rank and GPA have kind of depreciated since freshman year. Then again I did take 6 AP courses last year, which limited the amount of time I had to spend on each course which led to the decline. Do I have a good chance at any of these schools? Also should I add any good ones that I have not mentioned on here that I could probably get into?</p>

<p>List:
Cornell Engineering
Carnegie Mellon
Boston University
Georgia Tech
RIT
University of Maryland
Virginia Tech
Penn State and Pittsburgh as safeties.</p>

<p>Good safeties, to start. Good volunteering, lacking a little in leadership, and low SAT Writing. Depends on your major, but consider taking again.</p>

<p>Cornell - reach for anyone
CMU - reach for anyone
BU - target
GT - target
RIT - safety
U of M - target
Virginia Tech - safety</p>

<p>Based on your SAT scores, you don’t have many reaches. And some of those targets may be safeties and I’m calling them targets b/c I’m not sure how competitive your high school is. May want to find some more reaches.</p>

<p>Take Math II Subject Test to improve your chances at CMU and Cornell.</p>

<p>Thanks for replying! Would taking more leadership positions next year help my application out? Also, I’m doing Comp Sci probably so writing shouldn’t be a big deal right? My high school is consistently ranked very near the top in the state. Highly competitive; large class sizes as well. I was planning on taking Math II and Physics/Biology in October. Thanks again!</p>

<p>I think your probably in at everywhere except for cornell, cmu and gt.</p>

5

<p>I think you have a great shot at cornell, they really appreciate people who focus on math and sciences!</p>

6

<p>GPA definitely excellent. ECs great. You should bring up your Writing and you could be in pretty much for sure in all places except Cornell. I would shoot for the stars.</p>

<p>Try for Caltech? :stuck_out_tongue: Nah I’m not that crazy, but thanks!</p>
