I think waiting to take AP classes in senior year is a little risky, and while honors may show your supreme intellect, AP really shows you can handle harder work and colleges like that, but at least you took some, and the colleges you like I believe seems like a good match. Your AP’s seem to fit in with your intended major, and your EC’s are really impressive. I would take out Penn State and Drexel honestly, but would consider as a new top, Carnegie Mellon, a reach, George Washington University, and two safeties

Thank you! I was actually thinking about GW so that might go on my list.

Rutgers looks at weighted gpa only, so I’d say their SAS and engineering is safety for you. If I were you, and I got accepted to Rutgers, I’d go in a heart beat. My dad became the top 10% paid salary in his profession, my aunt became a doctor after going to the 7 year accelerated, my mom went to a good law firm after Rutgers, and my sis just got accepted to the 6 years pharmd program. As u can see I’m super biased, but for the cost and the opportunities you get from such a large research college, is incredible. Good luck, you will do well!
