<p>SatSriAkaal (I'm a Sikh too :)),</p>

<p>I say that you have a pretty good shot at Drexel, RPI, and Union. I know the other programs u mentioned are more difficult to get into but I think you should def apply.</p>

<p>P.S. Are you in the class of 2007?</p>

<p>Not bad at all! I think your research could be your highlight. You definitely have a chance.</p>

5

<p>I know, I never thought I would meet another Sikh on CC. I also do have to agree with schrizto, you should highlight your research in essays.</p>

<p>PS- Yes, I am your competition lol</p>

6

<p>anyone else?</p>

7

<p>I'd be surprised if you didn't get in. Your stats are freaking awesome.</p>

8

<p>hm.....lol...they arent that good.....anyone else?</p>

9

<p>you have a very good shot at both drexel med and AMC programs but i didn't apply to the PSU prorgam so I am not too sure about that. I would also suggest trying to raise your Writing score because I do not know what the colleges are going to do with those scores but you will definitely hit some high percentages with writing just in case.</p>

10

<p>no problem, you are fine</p>

11

<p>thanks for the advice j567p....I called RPI and they said they will still be evaluating applicants on a 1600 scale....So im assuming they will be using writing as a SAT II......btw....did u get into rpi/amc? what were ur stats?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
