<p>Debate; Varsity 3 yeras, JV 1 year</p>

<p>Robotics; started school club freshman year. Botball year 1. FIRST Soph, Juinor, and Senior years. Club President. Lead CAD engineer, and Webmaster. Went to Championships in Atlanta in my junior year.</p>

<p>Chess: Team President, plays #1 in matches for the school. Rating~1500. not too good.</p>

<p>JV Basketball: 2 years, useless</p>

<p>Varsity Tennis: 4 years, Ranked #3 last year as a junior.</p>

<p>Good Recs, Good Essay</p>

<p>Problems: Low GPA freshman year, received B+ in literature once. GPA pulls me down.</p>

<p>Good: Leadership, good @ math/science. </p>

<p>MIT -- 10%
Caltech -- 15%
Carnegie -- 80%, but may change depending on what you want to study
Cornell -- 30%
Stanford -- ?
UCLA -- 80%
Yale -- 20%
UCSF -- 99%
Brown -- 35%
UPenn -- 35%</p>

<p>SAT and lack of focus in EC's drag you down. But good luck.</p>

3

<p>Stanford: slight reach (20%)</p>

<p>Cornell: Match+ (60%)
UPenn: Match (40-50%)</p>

<p>The rest seems accurate.</p>

4

<p>I think your MIT chances are actually a lot greater than 10%...according to them, ECs are only a minor consideration, and since your AP tests and SAT tests in math and science all seem excellent, I think they will be interested in you. Also the robotics club looks very impressive</p>

5

<p>Oh yeah, I forgot that MIT doesn't look at the writing section, so the op got a 1530/1600. That's pretty good. I also think his chance at MIT is a little higher (15-20%).</p>

<p>asdjkl:</p>

<p>UCLA: Match (out of state)
UCSF: N/A (graduate only)</p>

7

<p>He's at least a safe match for UCLA.</p>

<p>And yeah, UCSF is for graduates only.</p>
