Chances at Marist/Drexel/RPI for a really smart lazy kid?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm currently a Junior, and I want to major in video game design. Here's some info about me.
Sex: Male
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Religion: Jewish (technically atheist, but that wouldn't help my chances to put down)
Financial situation: Upper-middle class (I have no idea if this actually affects things, but I figured I should post it just in case it does)
SATs: 2240, 750 M, 750 CR, 740 W (without studying, of course)
GPA W: probably going to be around a 3.7
GPA UW: probably going to be around a 3.3
A bunch of honors classes and one AP class
Extra curriculars: Academic Decathlon (I do really well), Debate Team (I suck)
70+ hours of community service
I occasionally tutor a 6th grader in math.
I helped set up a computer lab at my temple.
My essay will be amazing.
I will take a week of game design camp over the summer.
Teacher recommendations will praise my intelligence, but I have no idea how much my work ethic might get bashed.
I might get a C or D in Honors English III this year, which would be by far the worst thing on my transcripts. Otherwise mostly Bs with some As and Cs (Cs are somewhat rare).</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I’m in a slightly similar place, with my u/w gpa being higher and weighted being lower, and having lower SAT’s</p>

<p>also, I wanted to know if they actually consider religious affiliation?</p>

<p>You have a very good chance at Drexel. I have friends that got in with worse stats than yours. I don’t know about Marist or RPI, though.</p>

<p>Thanks for the responses.
Also, bump.</p>

<p>You’re aware that the video game industry is saturated beyond belief, right?</p>

<p>I would look into software engineering, or some type of computer science major. These majors are in high demand and you can probably land a job with a video game company if you plan everything out right including taking advantage of your co-ops if you go to Drexel.</p>
