Chance me please!

<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
• Manhattan College
• Northeastern University
• NYU-Poly
• Rennselaer Polytechnic
• Stony Brook University
• University at Buffalo </p>

<p>Scores:</p>

<p>• SAT I (breakdown): 1870 (610 CR, 650 M, 610 W) Single sitting. Taking November test, hope to get score to >1900.</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>• IB (place score in parenthesis): N/A</p>

<p>• Senior Year Course Load: Gov't & Genocide, Sports Medicine, AP Stats, AP Physics, AP English Literature, AP U.S. Gov't & Politics, Astronomy, Forensic Science, Gym</p>

<p>• Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): N/A</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>• Interview: Need to set one up for Poly, other than that I have no others.</p>

<p>Other:
• State (if domestic applicant): NY
• Country (if international applicant): N/A
• School Type: Public
• Ethnicity: Hispanic
• Gender: Male
• Income Bracket: $50,000 - $60,000
• 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>
