<p>If you need to find out more just ask!
Also PLEASE be frank, I do not want to bother applying to schools where I have no chance getting accepted.</p>

<p>Another thing to note is that my essays....not the greatest thing in the world (as in AP English teacher basically had me redo the entire thing bad, but she does that for a lot of people)</p>

<p>Tennessee and UIUC - matches
Georgia Tech and WashU -high matches
MIT, Georgetown, UPenn, Vanderbilt, Berkeley, and UCLA - reaches</p>

<p>Mine please?: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1568705-updated-chance-transfer.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1568705-updated-chance-transfer.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I’m in a very similar situation (law firm internship and everything).
Tennessee - Safe
MIT - High reach
Georgetown - Reach (I don’t understand why this is on your list since you seem to want to do engineering?)
Penn - High Reach
Vandy - I spoke to a rep and was told I had very good chances so you should too. So match
Georgia Tech - Match
Berkley - Reach
UCLA - High Match
UIUC - Low Match</p>

<p>Oh I chose Georgetown primarily because if I winded up not liking Engineering I would do foreign service since I enjoyed Model UN and other political organizations but they do lack an engineering school…</p>

<p>I guess I added it in anticipation of the possibility that I fail (well figuratively) Calculus which is an integral part of engineering.</p>

<p>No idea what some of these guys are talking about???</p>

<p>MIT - High reach
Georgetown - Reach
Penn - Reach
Wash U - Reach if you apply for FA
VU - Reach but being an Asian might help
Georgia Tech - Almost Safety
Berkley - Match
UCLA - Match
UIUC - Almost safety</p>

<p>MIT - Reach
Georgetown - Reach
Penn - Reach
Wash U - Reach
VU - Reach
Georgia Tech - Match
Berkeley - Low Reach
UCLA - Low Reach
UIUC - Match</p>

<p>bump! Please?
I know no one is really a master at giving ratings but any advice will help as well!</p>

<p>Hello? Any more help would be appreciated!</p>

<p>bump please</p>

<p>Also something to add:</p>

<p>For Robotics 11th grade year I participated in the BEST Robotics Competition and this year we are participating in the FIRST Robotics Competition (an international one I might add) and this will be our first year.</p>

<p>I’m from St. Louis so I will only address wash u and I used to live in Tennessee. Ut no problem. Actually as competitive wash u is you are a decent match. Diversity is HUGE there and robotics flourishes in St. Louis. Somehow you need to address the different grading scale which should somehow be noted. Wash u loves involved students so list all ec’s both in and out of hs. They will like your internship. 75% of wash u students have an act of 32 or above so if you can improve it any that helps but frankly 25% would be below your current score. Any awards you can snag go for them. Dar good citizenship, church awards, etc. good luck. It and vanderbilt are similar in selectivity, but I think you have a good chance. They really want the well rounded student with a glowing gap and act. My d had a friend who applied with a 35 act but little in ec’s and she didn’t get in but another friend with a 31 did with all her ec’s and community service. Good luck.</p>

<p>University of Tennessee Knoxville: Not familiar but probably Safety
MIT (EA): High Reach
Georgetown: High Match
UPenn: Med Reach
Vanderbilt: Low/Med Reach
WashU in St.Louis: Low/Med Reach
Georgia Tech: n/a
UC Berkeley: High Match
UCLA: High Match
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign: Match</p>
