Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm turning to a senior, and I want to major in BME (biomedical engineering).</p>

<p>I'm an asian, and I go to a relatively small school in New Jersery (only about 100 kids per grade).</p>

<p>My GPAs of freshman, sophomore, and junior years are all over 4.</p>

<p>My SAT scores are around 1920 - 2120. I'm gonna take it again in august.</p>

<p>Math: 790 - 800
Reading: 550 -650
Writing: 650 - 710</p>

<p>SAT subject scores:</p>

<p>Math IIc : 800
Chemistry : 760</p>

<p>AP </p>

<p>Biology : 5
U.S. History : 3</p>

<p>(taking AP chem, AP calc, and AP English this year)</p>

<p>I did participate in a lot of clubs and afterschool activities as well as some summer camps for health science and engineering programs.</p>

<p>Some of schools that I'm considering are Johns Hopkins, Cornell, Boston University, and Carnegie Mellon.</p>

<p>Cosidering that I wrote a fairly good application essay and got over 2200 on my SAT:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>What are my chances of getting in colleges I mentioned above?</p></li>
<li><p>Which college should I choose for Early Decision?</p></li>
<li><p>Any other Eastern colleges with good BME program that I'm likely to get in?</p></li>
<li><p>What do u think of BME major? (including salaries, working condition, etc.)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Feel free to answer any of the questions above.</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<ol>
<li>Basing off u getting a 2200,</li>
</ol>

<p>Cornell: Avg Chances considering ur Asian. If u dont get above 2200, Im really not liking ur chances. prob 20%</p>

<p>JHU: Slightly higher than Cornell but once again, without a solid SAT, not liking it 25%</p>

<p>Idk much about the other 2 but defiintely better than the two above</p>

<p>To be honest, I dont see ur EC’s really standing out so ur gonna have to write some great essays</p>

<ol>
<li>JHU - Great BME program</li>
</ol>

<p>3.don’t know</p>

<ol>
<li>Great career ahead of u :)</li>

<p>Good chances, hopkins/ mellon being the toughest, but they love ED candidates. If you wanted to ED id do hopkins if you are sure u want to be a BME major</p>
