<p>I am not particularly sure on where I am applying yet, but I plan to major in architecture; for sure I am applying to CalPoly, UT Austin, and Virginia Tech.
Other schools I am considering include Cornell, Rice, and USC.</p>
<p>I go to a highly competitive high school; even though I have never gotten a B in my life I don't have a (comparatively) higher rank because of a few errant course decisions.
Weighted GPA is 4.26, or close to that; my rank is 42/1330.
SAT scores: 740 math, 730 reading, 660 writing
I haven't taken the SAT-IIs yet; however, I understand that I need to take them to be considered for Cornell, Rice, and USC. I'm not keen on taking them, which is why I am sure on applying to the first three, but hey, what can you do?</p>
<p>Because of the top 9% rule, I get in to UT automatically, but not the school of my choice; I want to know the chances of me getting into the architecture school, not the university itself (which is guaranteed). I really badly want to get into the UT architecture program because it is my dream school in terms of proximity to home, size, and national ranking. If I get in, I'm going. It's really selective, though, and I'm pretty worried as to getting in, because the admission rate is pretty low and they don't accept transfers.</p>
<p>Senior year, I am taking Calculus BC AP, Physics B AP, Art History AP (well, those are the courses that matter, anyway)</p>
<p>As far as ECs go:
State finalist in Visual Art Scholastic Event (9th), regional finalist in VASE (11th); Art Club member
National Merit Semifinalist
German state competition winner; German Honors Society president as well as German Club VP (12th)
Championship level tennis player; was on the tennis team (10th)</p>
<p>Granted, most of these don't really matter for architecture, but I posted them anyway if they help.
Be as brutal as you like! My self-esteem is pretty low anyways.</p>
