<p>My friend is currently a Junior, and earlier he asked me, "what are my chances of getting into the schools I want?" I had NO IDEA how to answer this question, so he gave me permission to put some of his stats on the website, since he doesn't want to make an account.</p>

<p>I'm currently a sophomore, so I'll be back next year!</p>

<p>List:</p>

<p>Colleges considering for: UCB, MIT, Stanford, Caltech, Carnegie Mellon</p>

<p>Cumulative GPA (from 1st Semester Sophomore Year to 1st Semester Junior Year):
3.02 UW/3.24 W</p>

<p>SAT: Not taken yet ACT: Not taken yet</p>

<p>PSAT: 162</p>

<p>AP/Honors Classes:
Sophomore:
AP World History
English 2 Honors</p>

<p>Junior Year:

<p>He is not taking a Science class for Junior Year and he won't take one for Senior Year.
He is also not taking another Math class for Senior Year.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Right now, I don't think he has any.
He plans to join a Business Club and Math Club next year.</p>

<p>Major pursuing: Engineering (Mechanical or Aerospace)</p>

<p>I just have the bare minimum of his profile at the moment. I will add more when people add on to the thread.</p>

<p>haha are you trolling? I can’t imagine someone not taking a science class but applying to engineering; that too for a school like stanford (which, btw, needs 3 science courses to apply).</p>

<p>Somebody is trollin’</p>

<p>yeah, I think so too… ■■■■■ <3</p>

<p>Well, if I was trolling, I would have made it a bit more obvious. Trust me, when I ■■■■■, it is REALLY obvious.</p>

<p>In all seriousness, I’m trying to convince him to take a Science class Senior year to make up for this “lost year”, so for an major in aerospace or mechanical engineering, what Science class should I convince him to take? At our school he can still take AP Bio, Physics (Core or Honors), Physiology (Core or Honors), and AP Chemistry.</p>

<p>Physics. Though the chances are still zero.</p>
