I wanted to know my chances of getting into my dream school Stanford, or any engineering university similar to it. (I.E. Berkeley, Columbia in NY, USC, Or Even Cal-Tech) Here are my stats:</p>

Missouri Is my location
Field of Interest: Computer Science Engineering</p>

<p>A little more info:
I am in a program headed by a University where we receive our associates degree at the same time we graduate from high school. The associates degree will be a networking degree. They pay for these credit hours, and place us at local companies who will give us internships. Although the college courses are through a state and community college they are college courses. This will give me a lot more rigor on my transcript. </p>
<p>Please tell me my chances of getting in, or what I Could do to improve my chances. i feel I need more activities on my resume, and a Higher ACT or to even take the SAT. My practice SAT was a 1400 just in case you wanted to know.Sorry if the life guarding certifications were irrelevant, but still thought it might help a little. Thanks So much :)</p>
