<p>Hello fellow ccers, im a rising junior, and I'm interested in the comp sci field. I was wondering if you could tell me what I should do to enforce my passion in the field, what to strive for in the next couple of years, and most importantly, tell me what my chances are at my top colleges (listed below)!</p>
<p>GRADES: Not great haha. </p>
<p>Freshman year: 3.75 UW 4.0W (NOTE: I had a B in Hon. Geometry and a B+ in Hon. Biology... will this hurt me a lot?)</p>
<p>Summer: Honors Chemistry (Pass) but still took Hon. Chemistry the next school year.</p>
<p>Sophomore year: 3.71 UW 4.0 W (A+ in intro to comp sci. A's in math, science this time B+'s in English,history B in Basic Public Speaking 2.5 credit course, helped me a lot though. All other classes were A's)</p>
<p>Summer: SAT classes</p>
<p>Junior year schedule: Honors Pre-Calc, Honors US II, AP Comp Sci, AP English Lang, AP Microeconomics, (maybe Honors Orchestra) and AP Chemistry.</p>
<p>SATs: Dunno yet practicing probably taking January at about a 2000 now. </p>
<p>EC's</p>
<p>1) Active Key Club member (honestly like doing community service), Editor this upcoming year.
2) JV Tennis freshman year, Varsity Tennis (3) Red Division NJ
3) FBLA member, no accomplishments yet :( (Hoping for some junior or senior year.)
4) Founding editor of a cs club in school. Partnered with MIT, Cal Tech, Stanford etc.
5) Possible founder (meaning I've talked to district coordinator and i might set it up this year and if not definitely next year) for Red Cross Club in high school and junior representative for county.
6) Violin Honors Orchestra (4) Distinguished in local conservatory.
7) National French Honors Society, probably National Honors Society this year (only for juniors, seniors)
8) 70 hours of community service so far, plan on doing much more over the next summer.</p>
<p>I plan on doing an internship next summer too, anything Comp Sci related. Plan on taking Math level 2 Chemistry and Physics SATs late 2013.</p>
<p>Basically, at this trend, and assuming I end up with a 3.75 UW gpa and a high 2200's (after superscore), what are my chances of getting into: MIT (ik lol), Carnegie Mellon, University of Chicago Urbana Champaign, Princeton University, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, University of Maryland College Park, Purdue University, Penn State and Rutgers (my state uni) Most importantly, what can I do to boost my chances? Thank you!</p>
