Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'd like to hear my chances for my higher-end picks:</p>

<p>Cornell, CMU, Georgia Tech, Cooper Union, Harvey Mudd, UT Austin, University of Southern California</p>

<p>Also, could I have advice for some backup/economical schools for undergrad?
Right now I have: NC State and New Mexico Tech</p>

<p>Major Choice: Computer Engineering or Computer Science</p>

<p>I don't have state residency for tuition purposes.
(I live overseas but am a US Citizen) There is no cheap 10k/year tuition option for me. </p>

<p>I'd like to hear about other options for engineering schools. I was considering University of Washington. </p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>ACT Super Scored (only taken ACT):
28 English
30 Reading
34 Math
34 Science</p>

<h2>27 Writing+English </h2>

<p>I'm taking the SAT IIs (day after tomorrow actually)
Hopefully roughly 780 on Math II/Physics </p>

<h2>Got a 5 on Physics B if that helps at all. </h2>

<p>Class Rank: 2/165
GPA: 4.167 weighted</p>

<p>Current AP Classes:
AP Physics C Mechanics
AP Calc BC
AP Lit
AP US Gov
AP Stats</p>

<p>Prior:
APUSH - 5
AP Lang -3
AP Physics B - 5
AP Chem - 4
AP Biology - 4 </p>

<p>Leadership:
Eagle Scout
AVID Student Tutor
Senior Patrol Leader

<p>I have no idea whether or not you have a good chance of getting into any of those schools.</p>

3

<p>Indeed.
I hope my lower English scores don’t become my downfall.</p>

4

<p>For Georgia Tech and UT I’m pretty sure you’re set
Cornell, Harvey Mudd and USC might be a little bit more of a challenge but I think USC might be a good match</p>

<p>Georgia Tech: Match
UT: Match
Cornell: Reach
Harvey mudd: Low reach
USC: High Match</p>

<p>Chance me back , please?

<p>Cornell: Reach
CMU: Slight Reach
G Tech: Match
UT: Match
USC: Match</p>

7

<p>I feel that CMU is a bit harder than Cornell. Any other opinions?</p>

<p>Many schools you listed are strong in computer engineering. </p>

<p>If you write essays that demonstrate your passion in computer engineering (all that work with Assembly/ if have reversed engineered anything), I think you will have a decent shot at most of the schools including CMU. But then again, admissions are very random.</p>

9

<p>RIT, Union, RPI, WPI, Northeastern</p>

10

<p>You should probably take the SAT I before it’s too late, looking at your ACT scores it’ll only serve to bolster your chances.</p>

11

<p>Gtech and USC you should be in, cornell and CMU are reaches (CMU compsci has a 7% acceptance rate). If you can get a good sat score and good subject test scores your chances would be better, but you look like a good applicant for all of those!</p>
