<p>After reading the ED thread and seeing how competitive it will be this year, I am wondering if I will have even an ok shot. I know you all love these threads so here it goes.</p>

<p>Tests: 2250-math 800, reading 690, writing 760</p>

<p>800 math ii, 800 physics, some other bad SAT IIs</p>

<p>34 act</p>

<p>GPA Stuff: 3.86 gpa, or about a 92 unweighted. Top 10% of my school, which I feel has a very competitive class this year.</p>

<p>7 APs taken by end of senior year, 3 languages, very difficult courseload.</p>

<p>ECs:
-working at kohl's
-captain of the robotics team
-art club
-tutoring
-volunteering at a soup kitchen in the bronx
-Saferides officer
-Columbia Science Honors Program</p>

<p>Other: did a summer program in robotics at UPenn and won first place in the final competition.</p>

<p>Essays: Good (I think)</p>

<p>Recs: one amazing from a physics teacher, another pretty good one from a language teacher. Counselor should be pretty good.</p>

<p>So how's the outlook for me?</p>

2

<p>sat is a little weak for crit section, writing is seen as a sat 2 writing score</p>

3

<p>I am aware that I am illiterate, I scored 63 on the psat reading and 80 on the math there too. is 1490 not competitive?</p>

4

<p>stats is not the only thing they will look at and ur gpa and sat2s should balance it out gl =D!</p>

<p>To what major are you applying? If its something math related and you have shown throughout high school you love math / sciences i think you can somehow outweigh the CR score. Mine is not much higher but its 1490 also. My writing is low though.</p>

<p>I'm applying to electrical/computer engineering, most likely.</p>
