Chances - MIT,Stanford, princeton ...

<p>hey I'm a senior high school student who is aspiring for universities like MIT, Stanford, UCB .... for computer science engineering. My scores and ECs are as follows:
SAT Math-2 : 800
SAT Physics : 780
AP Calculus BC : 5
AP Physics C:Mechanics : 5
AP Chemistry : 5</p>

<p>I haven't given the SAT yet but hope to score between 2100-2200
Also, i have engaged in volunteer work and participated in two science camps, plus had an internship at a bank, member of environment club ... and I'm an international student( which probably decreases my chances of getting admitted)</p>

<p>what do you think are my chances in the top notch engineering colleges, and where do u think will i have the best chance of getting an admission?? Thank you :)</p>

<p>MIT and Stanford will be far reaches.
If you’re OOS, UCB will probably be a reach.
Your SAT, even if it is between 2100-2200 (which you shouldn’t count on until you’ve done it) Will be on par if not slightly under par for the first two schools. You haven’t posted your GPA but even if its perfect I say MIT and Stanford stay far reaches.
Your ECs that you posted. Are they all? Bluntly put, they’re not enough.</p>

<p>my GPA is perfect, plus that were all my main ECs in a nutshell, i have some more, also landing those two science camps wasn’t easy since they were held only for the top 1% students in the entire country. what do you think i should improve to aim for the first two schools?</p>

<p>Your ECs seem a bit random, but interesting nonetheless. You have to remember all the perfect GPA students that apply to these schools; many of them do something insanely unique and interesting on the side, and those are the ones that get in. We all aspire to go to those schools, and I urge you to apply, however definitely look into other places as well.</p>

<p>ok aside from MIT, stanford and say all the rest top schools in which i have less chance of getting into for engineering, which schools do u think wud i have the best chance of getting into? (because tbh idc much about the top ones)</p>

<p>Try Carnegie Mellon and Harvey Mudd. Great for engineering.</p>
