<p>Hey everyone! Thanks for looking! I will be majoring in Computer Science.</p>
<p>Schools I'll be applying to:
Binghamton University
Drexel University

NYU-Poly
Rennselaer Polytechnic
Stony Brook University
University at Buffalo </p>
<p>Scores:</p>

<p> ACT: None, could take December if it'd help me.</p>
<p> SAT II: None, could take them if they'd help me though.</p>
<p> Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.5 This I believe is the only thing holding me down. I messed up in a few classes Freshman year. I'm expecting it to boost to ~3.6 after the first quarter this year.</p>
<p> Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): Don't do ranks at my school, I would say Top 20% though.</p>
<p> AP (place score in parenthesis): AP Computer Science A (4), AP English Composition (3), AP Biology (3), AP Calculus (1(Fell apart on this test, got a B in the class)), AP Physics (?), AP U.S. Gov't & Politics (?), AP Stats (?), AP English Literature (?)</p>

<p>Subjectives:</p>
<p> Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): FIRST Robotics, Udacity Online Courses (CS 101 (Intro to C.S.), CS 258 (Software Testing)) finished with high marks in both.)</p>
<p> Job/Work Experience: Register & Floor at Kohl's, worked for my dad's private investigation firm doing background checks and data search</p>
<p> Volunteer/Community service: None, this also I think hurts me in my applications.</p>
<p> Essays: Common App Short Answer: How while working at Kohl's I've had to work together with other associates to meet our daily store goals. Common App Personal Essay: Didn't write it yet, starting it soon. I'm a good essay writer so it should be a good one.</p>
<p> Teacher Recommendation: Awesome recommendations, one from an art teacher I've had for 3 years, other from my AP Computer Science teacher.</p>
<p> Counselor Rec: I hope good. Never really had to deal with him, but he knows me.</p>

<p>Other:

Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): Nothing really, neither of my parents went to college but a grandparent did. Being hispanic maybe?</p>
<p>If these schools aren't a good fit for me, can you give me others that would be a good fit for me?</p>
