Chances for great engineering schools

Chance Me / Match Me!
21

<p>I think that you have a good chance at many of these schools. If you want to add another safety/match that is a good engineering school you might want to add U of Michigan to your list.</p>

22

<p>Thanks. Should i attach a resume to my application for any of these schools?</p>

23

<p>Your top schools are all upper “reach” schools for all but the very top students. Not to mention the big anti-hook you’ve got. Stanford/MIT/CalTech are all very low probability of between 5-10% admission. EA/ED at any one of these might double your chances.</p>

<p>Expand your list to include other schools such as Cornell, Penn, Columbia, Michigan, Northwestern and Rice. No doubt you will get into one or more of these.</p>

<p>Lastly, stay focused. Narrow down the activities list, and do a couple to the hilt.</p>

24

<p>Is the big-anti hook you’re referring to my ethnicity? I thought my activities were pretty focused. Also, I thought that applying EA doesn’t really help much. Thanks for the list of colleges!</p>

<p>Michigan, Rice, Northwestern, Cornell.

<p>Thanks for the list (secret BUMP)</p>

<p>You have a great chance at all your schools. Your main goal now should be focusing on putting your pasison on paper: they need to know that you want this, deserve this, and how you can contribute to their community. Make your essays gold and you should be good.</p>

28

<p>You are in at UTD, Georgia Tech, and UT</p>

<p>As for CalTech, Stanford, and MIT your chances are low (like everyone else’s) since nothing from your app screams “zomfg i’m legit”-- which doesnt mean you arent intelligent you very well are, but on the whole these schools attract extremely unique individuals. I had 6 pals who applied to MIT/Stanford with better numbers and more impressive EC’s than you, yet they were all denied or waitlisted. The kids saying you have a great shot…don’t fool yourself. </p>

<p>Oh also, being indian is a major anti-hook too.</p>

<p>You’re a good applicant. make sure to write a killer essay, and also add other schools like carnegie mellon, michigan, cornell, JHU washu or duke (for BME if thats what you want)…</p>

29

<p>i agree with nuclear in that if you apply to MIT EA along with the award thing you got from them you should get in with a 34(dont know why anyone would retake a pro score) andUof Illinois and Purdue are great engineering schools that you could definitely get into so is carnegie mellon and USC
I think you have a pretty good chance at all of those and definitely in for the bottom 3
the first 3 are reaches for everyone including god and buddha and allah but you should get into at least one of them if not more</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK GENIUS!!!</p>

<p>chance me back at <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/735932-chance-me-i-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/735932-chance-me-i-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>alright… add on to the awards section:</p>

<p>International First Step to Nobel Prize in Physics Honorable Mention</p>

31

<p>wow you are definitely on track with all ur research related stuff… maybe try U of Illinois Urbana?</p>

32

<p>alright… add on to the awards section:</p>

<p>International First Step to Nobel Prize in Physics Honorable Mention</p>

33

<p>MIT reach
Caltech reach
Stanford reach
Georgia Tech in
UT in
UTD in
howbout texas am, texas tech, ut san antonio for safety’s?
can u plz chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/739962-plz-chance-overachiever-rice-u-maryland-duke-caltech-5-ucs.html#post1062841319[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/739962-plz-chance-overachiever-rice-u-maryland-duke-caltech-5-ucs.html#post1062841319&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

34

<p>You’re in good shape for all your schools. Good luck.</p>

<p>But 92jjxx is pretty much spot on. MIT, Caltech, and Stanford are reaches for anyone. You should easily get accepted to GT, UT, and UTD.</p>

<p>OP,</p>

<p>If you want a program with hands-on experience and engineering design early, take a look at Northwestern.</p>
