<p>Hi guys,
I was wondering if you guys could assess my "resume" to see whether I have any chance of getting into some colleges.</p>

<p>College list:
Cornell (engineering)
CMU (CIT)
Cooper Union
Columbia SEAS (not sure)
MIT (probably no chance?)</p>

<p>And here it is:
GPA: 4.1 Weighted (No ranking) (around 3.8-3.9 unweighted?)
Courseload: Chemistry AP, all honors except College Prep English in freshmen year
Planning to take AP Bio and Physics and Calc next year, Spanish for two years
ACT: 31
SAT: 2110, 640 CR, 690 W, 780 Math (I'm taking it again, aiming for 2200+)
SAT IIs: SAT Chemistry 800, Physics 710, Math Level 2 800</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
-High school band and wind ensemble and orchestra for 4 years (clarinet section leader)
-All-state, regions, county band on clarinet and alto clarinet
-Math Club for 3 years (treasurer this year, president next year)
-Club that goes to nursing home frequently (secretary this year) (2 years)
-AMC 10, 12, and ARML participant
-ABRSM Piano Playing Auditions Level 5 and 6 (passed and passed with merit)
-ABRSM Theory Exam Level 5 (passed)
-Local community band for 2 summers
-school clarinet choir for 2 years
-peer tutoring math
-Church chamber orchestra for 2.5 years (have been temporary conductor for couple of months) (concertmaster role)
-New Jersey Science League (Chem I and II)
-New Jersey Governor's School of Engineering and Technology
-competitive summer program, where only top 1-2 students from various high schools in NJ get recommended and actually get to apply and less than 25% get accepted out of those top students
-Columbia SHP starting this fall.
-Short-term mission to Argentina</p>

<p>It's not much but i hope you guys can give me some feedbacks and tips.</p>

<p>bump bump…</p>

4

<p>another bump…</p>

<p>I think you have a decent chance. Cooper Union is pretty selective though…so that might be a huge reach.
GOOD LUCK!</p>

<p>Chance me back?</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say u have no chance at MIT… you could one of the lucky ones of the bottom 25 percentile :)</p>

7

<p>bubles:
Thank you, but which schools do you mean? and yea cooper union IS a huge reach, so are MIT and stanford…</p>

8

<p>I think you have a good chance. But make sure you write great essays.</p>

9

<p>bumping again…</p>

10

<p>bump :T please chance me more…</p>

11

<p>I think you have good chances at Cornell and CMU. I don’t know much about Cooper, and obviously MIT is extremely hard.</p>

<p>You’ve obviously shown through your classes, test scores, and ECs that math and science is your passion, but it’s good that you also show other passions such as music.</p>

12

<p>thanks. Um, would my chances go down if my SAT I score end up to be less than 22? Also, my school isn’t the most competitive school, and I am Asian-American…would that lower my chances as well?</p>

13

<p>bbbbbbbbuuuuummmmmppp</p>

14

<p>With the information that you have provided us with, I would say:
Cornell-low reach
CMU-match
Cooper Union-match?
Columbia-reach
MIT-reach</p>

<p>Your race won’t help you, but I think you can get into a few of these:> Best of luck!</p>

15

<p>Um would MIT be worth applying at all?</p>

16

<p>It doesn’t hurt to try. You never know, you could be accepted:)</p>

17

<p>Haha thanks. But I think I’ll pass. (BUMPP)</p>

18

<p>Stanford and MIT-High high reach. Go ahead and apply. You never know, but don’t count on it.
Cooper Union-Reach. It’s a small school therefore highly selective.
Columbia SEAS-Reach
Cornell-Low reach.
CMU-Fit.
UIUC- I have no idea about their stats.</p>

19

<p>Would applying ED for Cornell increase my chances of getting in? or is it still a low reach?</p>
