<p>I'm currently a junior so I still have time if there is anything I could do it would be appreciated. I'm going for engineering probably electric along with applied mathematics since I will have some of the credits.
If you could chance me for:
Rice
Northwestern
Berkeley
CMU
Cooper Union (thoughts?)
CIT
Any others?
SAT first time math:700 reading:710 writing:650 will retake first time
GPA weighted 4.4/4.8
Rank top 5% hopefully
All honors but one in freshman and Sophmore
Junior: AP Calc BC AP bio AP eng Lang AP Computer science
College over summer: Linear Alg, Chem, Physics
Senior: Calc 3 Vector AP eng AP gov AP chem AP physics French 5 maybe others
ECs:
Eagle Scout
Track and Feild 4 yrs w/ varsity letter
Cross Country 3 yrs
Club & Church Basketball 4 yrs

What else should I do to get into the schools I want while I still have time?
Should I do internship or something over the summer?
Any recommendations would be great.</p>
<p>Definitely try to get some sort of internship at any local university or engineering firm. Retake SAT and start practicing for SAT II’s (probably physics and math II). I’m not sure if you’re an officer of those clubs you listed. If not, definitely get some leadership positions.</p>
<p>If you get your SAT composite score up to 2100 to 2150 with SAT II’s in the 700s your chances are as follows:</p>
<p>Rice - High Reach
Northwestern - High Reach
Berkeley - Reach (OOS?)
CMU - Reach
Cooper Union (thoughts?) - Reach
CIT - High Reach</p>
<p>You aren’t that spectacular academically, nor are your extracurriculars. I agree with the advice above and think you should search for an internship or do research at the very least. I think both your scores (2150+ SAT would be preferable) and your extracurricular need to improve (Not much passion; few leadership positions).</p>
<p>Good luck! Your courseload looks really good. </p>
<p>Chance me back?

<p>Actually I was thinking about it I may if I have time after SAT and SAT Iis</p>
<p>Rice: Reach
NWU: Reach
Berkeley: Match (if OOS full-freight)/High match otherwise
CMU: Reach
Caltech: Reach
Cooper: Reach</p>
<p>Try UMinn, UIUC…</p>
<p>Thanks i was trying to look at other schools too and I would be out of state for Berkeley would I still be matched?</p>
<p>OOS can help or hurt you at Berkeley, depending on your ability to pay.</p>
<p>Oh I’ll have to think about that</p>
<p>Other colleges to consider:
Univ. Wisconsin-Madison
Univ. Illinois - Urbana Champaign
UMich - Ann Arbor</p>
<p>What about RPI?</p>
