Chance me! + Suggestions of Schools I should apply to?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi! I'm going to be a senior this fall, and I am very intrigued as to what colleges I could hope to get into. </p>

<p>I'm extremely interested in majoring in computer science or business/economics, depending on if the school has a business department or not.</p>

<p>I will probably be applying to these schools for CS or econ/business:
-Minnesota
-UIUC
-Alabama
-Babson
-Northeastern
-Boston University</p>

<p>I have done chance me's before, but the thing I really hope to gain from this is other schools that you all think I could get in to, and have strong econ/business or CS programs.</p>

<p>Stanford offers some of their CS lectures on-line (Stanford</a> School of Engineering - Stanford Engineering Everywhere ) and I started working on them before I was able to take AP CS at school. I have taken a computational finance course from Georgia Tech online and a course in machine learning from Stanford.</p>

<p>I have a 3.70 GPA (uw) and a 4.39 weighted (my school only reports weighted on transcript). I'm going to be taking these AP classes next year: calc BC, macro and physics c. </p>

<p>I have already taken AP Psych and AP English lang and comp.</p>

<p>I have taken the ACT twice, the first time I got a 33 with a breakdown as follows:
-Reading and Science -- 35
-Math -- 33
-English -- 28</p>

<p>-Writing -- 8 </p>

<p>Second time I got a 33 as well:
-Reading: 32
-Math: 36
-English: 27
-Science: 35</p>

<p>This is a superscored 34, which only counts at some schools, but I thought was worth mentioning.</p>

<p>EC's: I am involved in MMA fighting (it's pretty awesome), founder and president of an improv comedy club that meets in local bars, I ran the chicago marathon for charity (even though running stinks), I'm very involved in my church and am part of the student leadership team (so obviously I've done the mission trip thing) and that's it! (plus those Stanford lectures, I don't know if those count....)</p>

<p>Thanks for all the help, if any other info is needed or wanted, I'd love to share.</p>

<p>Please feel free to recommend any colleges you think I might be interested in.</p>

<p>Minnesota: Low match
UIUC: Match/high match
Alabama: Safety
Northeastern: High match
Boston University: Match/low match</p>

<p>Hopefully you know what you want to major in and pick a school that has a good program for that field. Goodluck</p>

<p>Any suggestions for colleges I should be looking at that I did not list?</p>

<p>these are very safety oriented schools you are applying to… try carnegie mellon tepper, cornell dyson, nyu stern, uc berkeley, northwestern, emory. that will give you more reaches… and you might get into one of them if ur lucky.</p>

<p>UPenn Engineering? I assume reach, but less of one than applying directly to Wharton?</p>

<p>All of those schools are matches or low matches. Try applying to some better ones as well</p>

<p>UPenn is a match? I’m guessing you didn’t see my last post.</p>
