<p>If your really interested in ChemE then go for the USA Chem Olympiad...it'll help along with the fact that your a girl :O...anyways: apply early to MiT.</p>

<p>thanks...do I talk to my school about the Chem Olympiad, because I've never heard about it anywhere but here</p>

<p>MIT- reach for everyone, but you've got a great chance
Rutgers Engineering- safety, probably scholarship
WPI- safety, will probably get scholarship, possibly full ride (friend has lower stat and was offered scholarship)
UofI-Urbana- safe match, will probably get scholarship but probably not full ride (I have lower stats and I got money)
Florida Institute of Technology- I don't know anything about it. I'd assume it's a safety</p>

<p>You should add more matches and reaches. Some good engineering schools...Michigan, Carnegie Mellon- safe match, Berkeley, Northwestern, Cornell- good match, Stanford, Columbia- reach.</p>

<p>thanks a lot! thats what I was figuring on with Rutgers...it was my instate thing. I'll definately check out those other colleges though.</p>

<p>Ggod list. Rensselaer would probably give you money. How about Columbia School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, if you like NY City? How about Caltech?</p>

<p>berkeley engineering. come to cal to even out the male/female ratio. 55/45 at berk I heard. I would prefer it be closer to 70/30.</p>
