<p>I'm a rising senior.
I'm interested in studying computer science in college. Schools I'm really interested in are: UMich, UIUC, UW-Madison, MIT, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, University of Washington, UC Berkeley
A few others I'm sort of thinking about: UCLA, UT-Austin, USC, Cornell, Princeton</p>
<p>Stats:
SAT: 2400 (12 essay)
ACT: 36 (36E, 35M, 35R, 36S, 11 essay)
SAT subject tests:
Physics: 800
Chemistry: 800
Math 2: 800</p>
<p>GPA: 4.0 (school doesn't weight)
School doesn't do class rank</p>
<p>AP exams so far:
Computer Science: 5
Euro: 5
Calc BC: 5
Chemistry: 5
Physics C (Mechanics): 5
US Gov't: 5
So I'll have AP scholar with distinction</p>
<p>I also take classes at the university where I live; it's a Big Ten university. This year I took 2 computer science courses (one in the fall, one in the spring); they were main courses in the computer science sequence, following Computer Science I (which I got credit for with AP computer science). I'm going to take 2 more computer science courses next year. Next year I'll also be taking Linear algebra in the fall and Calc 3 in the spring (at the university).</p>
<p>ECs and awards:
USA computing olympiad silver level participant</p>
<p>American computer science league: this year I received an overall score of 39/40, the highest ever at my school. 2 of my contest programs were also selected and posted on the ACSL website as example solutions.</p>
<p>My local university holds a high school programming contest each year: my team has gotten 2nd place all 3 years I've been in high school (hoping for 1st next year...)</p>
<p>FIRST FRC robotics: I was the lead programmer for my team this year, I've participated every year of high school.</p>
<p>Computer science club: I participated freshman and sophomore years. This year I became the president, and I expanded the club to have weekly meetings where members (there aren't many...) solve problems, rather than past years where the club only met a few times per year.</p>
<p>Mu alpha theta / school math club: many contests, our school has been state and regional champion all 3 years I've been in high school.</p>
<p>ARML (american regional mathematics league) participant.</p>
<p>F-cubed, another math club at our school</p>
<p>Summer job at a local software startup (last summer, this summer, and probably next summer). I do real programming for them, working on actual production software.</p>
<p>Voluteering at the public library: around 300 hours right now</p>
<p>Orchestra (double bass): Allstate the past 3 years, and hopefully next year as well.</p>
<p>Are there any other good computer science schools I should consider (especially if they might give scholarship money)? Also, if you have any predictions about scholarships I might get at these schools I'd really appreciate it. My family might have some difficulty affording a school like MIT, but our income isn't low enough to get a lot of financial aid (I don't think - around 100K income bracket), so I'm hoping to get a decent amount of scholarship money.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
