<p>Hey! I'm a senior from NJ looking to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering. What do you think of my chances?</p>
<p>GPA: 3.5375 Unweighted 4.9551 Weighted on a scale of 6.0</p>
<p>SAT: 630 Reading, 660 Math, 630 Writing</p>
<p>ACT: 30</p>
<p>Class Rank: 125 of 472 (top 30%) Unweighted, 97 out of 472 Weighted (top 25%)</p>
<p>EC:</p>
<p>Trumpet 8 Years
Marching Band (9-12)
Jazz Band (9-12)
Pep Band (9-12)
Latin Club (9-12)
Asian Club (9)
Robotics (12)
Certamen (10-11) (Latin knowledge bowl)</p>
<p>I have volunteer hours at the library and I am a member of NHS.</p>
<p>My current schedule and first marking period grades respectively are:</p>
<p>AP Lit and Comp (B)
AP Latin Vergil (B)
AP Physics C (C)
AP Calculus (A)
Honors World Cultures (just a social studies elective) (B)
Wind Ensemble (A)</p>
<p>(AP is weighted of course)
I'm most afraid of how my physics grade will reflect when they see a potential engineering student. I have a very strong A in calculus, but my jump from level 2 physics AB to the AP Physics C was a very tough one. Right now I'm holding a high B in the class and my teacher would be able to write a letter of rec talking about how I improved (he has done this before for other students) by the regular decision deadline in January.</p>
<p>My current letters of rec are from my AP English teacher from Junior year (I have a very strong relationship with him), and my Marching Band director.</p>
<p>That is another thing, I should have taken advantage of the early action deadline but I did not and I still regret it. </p>
<p>So CC, what are my chances?</p>
