<p>I've done bad the past few years and I tried to make up for it. I'm Indian, and I'm probably the dumbest Indian that posted here. Here are my miserable stats:</p>

<p>*Sat I: 2150 - I'm sure I'll get this as my results.
*Sat II: Chemistry: 740
Biology: 710
Literature: 680
*ACT: 32
*Freshman GPA:2.46 -No advanced classes/EC's
*Sophomore GPA:3.54 -No advanced classes/EC's
*Junior GPA:3.91 -Honors Alg II, JV Tennis
*Senior GPA:4.83 -Precalculus, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Literature,
Spanish III, Computer Science/ Captain of Varsity Tennis Team, 200 Hours Community Service - 5's on all AP's
*Cumulative GPA:3.57
*Class Rank: 124/513
*Decent reccomendations/Essays</p>

<p>I'm planning on majoring in Chemical Engineering. I live in Missouri, and was considering in order of preference, these colleges:</p>

<p>Washington University
Purdue
University of Illinois
Mizzou Honors College</p>

<p>I tried my best the last 2 years and I feel that it wasn't enough for any of these schools; am I right or wrong? Also, are there any other good engineering colleges around my area that aren't listed here that I may have a chance in?</p>

2

<p>Kansas State University(not to be mistaken with university of kansas :)) has an okay engineering I've heard...</p>

3

<p>wow! you REALLY ARE DUMB, aren't you?!?!</p>

4

<p>Eh... dumb in the sense that I chose not to use my brain when I could've :(</p>

5

<p>wait...are you estimating your sr grades? b/c if youre a sr shouldnt youve already applied?</p>

<p>but either way you have an impressive grade trend that colleges will notice. i would believe you have a chance at those schools.</p>

<p>lol im indian and dumber, your smart, i have like a 3.1</p>

<p>May I also suggest University of Michigan? Stellar all-round school, ranked 9th for chemical engineering (6th or 7th for overall engineering), located in Ann Arbor - possibly the nicest college town, nice campus, great social life, etc... With your stats you have a good shot at getting in. Another good thing is that Michigan doesn't consider your freshman year grades for review.</p>

<p>I think you have an OK shot at those schools. Incase you didn't know, being Indian won't hurt you in the admissions process because you could always choose not to identify yourself with a race on the college application forms. University of Michigan is somewhat competitive for out-of-state applicants...It is the 2nd best public University.</p>

<p>You are not below average Indian dude, why do ppl always say that</p>

10

<p>Its actually really annoying when people say that actually....</p>

11

<p>I don't think im smart in Indian standards; my race is usually like top 10%, perfect scores, etc. They usually get private admissions, I probably won't, so I consider myself not as smart as the average Indian.</p>
