<p>Chances? Suggestions for improvement? I would like to know where I should focus my efforts for next year.</p>

<p>donated used computers to less fortune students? was this like a charity event or are you just saying that you gave someone your computer? i think your SAT scores need to go up a lot higher if you want to get into your top 5 schools. also, your ECs seem really spread out...are you really interested in one area? your major says comp sci, why don't do spend more time doing ECs that match your interests?</p>

<p>meh, i'd say reject by MIT, Cal Tech</p>

<p>i think you have a shot at the rest of the schools.</p>

<p>what's your international internship? what does that mean?</p>

<p>the used computers donation was a charity. i collected used computer from ppl and upgraded them before giving them to students who couldn't afford a computer.</p>

<p>oh ok i see</p>
