<p>I guess after obsessing on this site for two weeks id might as well post my own stats to be critiqued.... im looking at BU, NEU, Tufts, RPI, and Cornell as a reach (for engineering)... i guess my biggest advantage is that i come from a nowhere school that doesnt have many top grads.. </p>
<p>(I'm looking at the engineering colleges specifically)</p>
<p>High School: Public
High School Type: rarely sends grads to top schools
Will apply for financial aid: Yes</p>
<p>Academics:
GPA - Unweighted: 3.4-3.6 (94)
GPA - Weighted: 3-6-3.8 (96)
Class Rank: top 5 students
Class Size: 444</p>
<p>Scores:
SAT I Math: 700
SAT I Critical Reading: 690
SAT I Writing: 640
ACT: 34 (still trying to figure out that one haha) (31 Math subset)
SAT II (Math 2 and Physics): havent gotten scores back yet, but at least 675 and probably higher</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
4 years (Last 2 Leadership) to County Youth Bureau- top position, 750+ hours comm. service, many responsibilities
National Honor Society Officer- A lot of community service, responsibilities
Guitar (i guess not too significant haha)
Work- few but really good jobs- lot of experience in each
Significant World Travels- every continent expect for Australia and antarctica (obviously haha)- maybe 12 countries total

Bunch of other smaller things</p>
<p>Classes: toughest ones my school offers- which isnt much....</p>
<p>Letters: really great, teachers like the students who actually give a damn in this school</p>
<p>Essay: will be great, im a really good writer</p>
<p>Anywhere I should be looking? I really like Boston/ someplace urban and a college with a great social life and no overbearing work loads, but still pose an academic challenge</p>
<p>Anything is appreciated!</p>
