<p>I applied into Engineering for Civil Engineering... I'm so nervous for Dec. 11.</p>

<p>SAT: 670 CR 700 W 750 M
8 AP's taken through high school</p>

<p>3.4 UW / 3.9 W GPA</p>

<p>Very Rigorous coursework taken. My school is a Project Lead The Way school, and i've completed all of the PLTW curriculum.</p>

<p>Excellent EC's, Class President for 3 years, 4 Varsity letters in Football and Lacrosse, leadership position in Engineering</p>

<p>I also have held a part-time job all through junior and senior year, 26 hours a week except when i'm in season</p>

<p>Unfortunately, i'm a white male from MD(probably the worst possible demographic )</p>

<p>What do you guys think about my chances? I've already been accepted into CoE at Rutgers and Pitt I applied into Engineering for Civil Engineering... I'm so nervous for Dec. 11.</p>

<p>I believe the date is Dec. 10th, not 11th.
Anyway, your SAT isn’t stellar, but it’s on or slightly below target.
Your GPA is ok, but not great, either. Did you do well in math/science classes and poorly in english/history? That can sometimes be forgiven for engineering.
How did you do on your subject tests?</p>

<p>And what in the world is a “leadership position in Engineering”?</p>

<p>how was your essay?</p>

<p>what is your class rank? Are you in the top 5% or top 10%?</p>

<p>Engineering has about 90+ percent of the accepted class in top 10%</p>
