<p>I want to major in chemE and i think MIT or caltech would be good.</p>
<p>My grades
Bio: A (regular because that is all my school offers for freshman)
Chem: A+ (regular but i self studied ap)
AP Physics C: a/a+ (not done yet, but i skipped regular physics)
Math (Precalc): a
BC Calc: a+
AP Stat: a
English: b/b+
History: b
spanish (honors): a</p>
<p>I'm still a junior, so i have time to think about it. I also plan to take a math class and chemistry class at a nearby college senior year.</p>
<p>my grades are not great in history and english, and i wanted to know how much these would hurt my chances at a school like mit or caltech.</p>
<p>btw, i think my sat scores will be somewere in the 2300s, and my sat2 scores were 710 on bio, 800 on chem, 800 on math 2c and i plan to take physics and i should get an 800.</p>
<p>i also plan to take a few olympiads, mainly the amc 12, aime, hopefully usamo and the chemistry olympiad, which i think i could do well in.</p>
<p>i have taken 2 ap tests, stat and chem, which i got 5's on. i am takin bc and phys c this year. thats all the academic information, and i have some extra curriculars that i guess i will mention.</p>
<p>math team for 4 years including next year (captain next year)
Liberty in N Korea club for 3 years (President for 2)
Asian club for 4 years (President next year)
International club for 3 years
and volunteer service at a hospital for a year
and columbia shp, which is fairly selective, for 3 years</p>
<p>thats it for my EC's, and i guess thats all i have to say. thanks to anybody who takes the time to read this post and gives me some feedback. btw, i am korean, so i dont know if that helps or hurts my chances.</p>
<p>also, can you recommend some other good schools for chemE that i would might be easier for me to get in.</p>
