Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>These are my stats, not so great, but hey, I guess I'll have to suck it up and live with it :P.
First of all, let me start by saying that I'm an Indian American, so take that into consideration when looking at my verbal score. I am a senior, will be graduating this year. My stats are as follows:</p>

<p>SAT I:
Math: 700 Verbal: 510</p>

<p>ACT:
Highest Composite: 28</p>

<p>SAT II [November]:
Chemistry, Math IIC, Writing</p>

<p>AP Scores:
AP Computer Science A - 4
AP Computer Science AB - 3</p>

<p>GPA: 3.796/4.000 [Weighted]
Rank: [Not Considered] 1st Decile (There are 650 students in my graduating class, so I'm guessing I'm in the top 50)</p>

<p>Senior Year Classes:
AP Calculus AB
AP Biology
AP Physics
AP Statistics
English [Multicultural Literature]
Forensics Science
(One reason you don't see a History class in that schedule is because I had a scheduling conflict with my Calculus and Biology class. So, it was either those things, or Politics. So, I didn't have much choice)</p>

<p>Advanced/AP Classes Taken prior to senior year:
AP Computer Science A, AP Computer Science AB, AP Chemistry, Honors French 4 Literature, Honors French 2, Honors French 1, Honors Precalc., Honors Algebra 2, and Honors Biology. Basically, I've filled up my schedule all of my three previous years.</p>

My major will be Biomedical Engineering, which is why most of my colleges have a decent engineering reputation.</p>

<p>Thanks for reading all this. I would really appreciate if you would tell me if the indicated matches, reaches, and safeties are realistic. Also, what would you say my chances are for those colleges? Thanks again, and hope to get some good responses.</p>

<p>Jediknight -
will you be taking the TOEFFL?</p>

17

<p>The average scores at BU someone mentioned exclude students who took the TOEFL.</p>

18

<p>Well, I don't think I will have time to take them, since the next ones are in November. I was thinking to get a higher verbal score..but I just..messed up on it, I guess. Thanks for your postings though.</p>

19

<p>So, case western is a reach for me? I was thinking it was a pretty good match.. :&lt;/p>

20

<p>I definetly think you could get into case, especially if you apply EA and considering that when one applies to case western they apply to the entire university not specific colleges like business or engineering, I wouldn't be too worried. :)</p>
