Hello, I could use some opinions on my chances for these schools.
Demographics: - upper middle class Indian male Southern Middle sized high school ~450 students class size
Major - Engineering Undecided / CS
Academics: - 3.7 GPA UW, 4.0 W - ACT - 34 single sitting - SAT II - 790 World History, 720 Chemistry No class rank Couple of School Awards in my classes
APs- APUSH, World History , and Comparative Gov are 5s Lang, Chem, CS Principles , US Gov are 4s AP Scholar w Distinction
Extracurriculars: - Eagle Scout, School Representative for a selective local leadership program, did research under a Professor from a top 50 university for one summer. Worked on peer to peer networks between robots and a machine learning algorithm where the robots continually learned about their environment from one another. Won an award for my research from that same university. Did Quizbowl and went to nationals and won some state competitions (nothing too special). National Honor Society , Beta Club , School Environmental Club.
Personal Opinions - My academics are pretty weak but I was hoping that my ECs could somewhat makeup for that. My Common App essay was decent I felt (journey on how I became a leader in my clubs and how I broke out of my shell of being shy). Recs should be good as well - not “glowing” but teachers hold me in high regard / I know them on a personal level.
Also I am out of state
Please help me with my odds.
Thank you!
