<p>Hi,
I was wondering about my chances for ED to Cornell Engineering and RD for Umich and Berkeley. </p>
<p>I go to a public magnate high school in Northern NJ. Our school is separated into different academies (each focused in different fields). As an student of the engineering academy, I take several engineering core classes on topics such as CAD/CAM and CNC manufacturing.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.86 (UW) our school doesn't rank
SAT I: Math: 770 Reading: 780 Writing: 730
SAT II:Math IIC: 800 Chem: 800 Physics: 800</p>
<p>Classes: AP Chem (5), AP Calc AB (5), AP Phys, IB History, Linear Algebra, pretty much all of our other classes are honors.</p>
<p>Essay: Really shows that I am passionate about mechanical engineering.</p>
<p>ECs:
BattleBotsIQ Robotics Competition- People should know what this is about if they are familiar with BattleBots TV show. I designed and built a 120 pound BattleBot which competed in the 2007 and 2008 national competitions.</p>
<p>Panasonic Creative Design Challenge - I led a team in designing and building a vehicle that had to travel an obstacle course and pick up Lego people situated along the way.</p>
<p>Co-founder of the Robotics Club at our school.</p>
<p>100+ Hrs of volunteering at local library</p>
<p>Awards:
- Top three Finishes in BattleBotsIQ national competitions (2nd in 2007 and 3rd in 2008)
- 2nd Place & $4000 from Panasonic Creative Design Challenge</p>
<p>Recs: Both pretty good. One is from my engineering teacher/BattleBots project advisor who knows me very well.</p>
