<p>My basic statistics
Class of 2008
Male
Pennsylvania
Rank: 12 out of 453
GPA: 3.92uw 4.23w</p>

<p>APs/Honors: I have taken all honors core courses except for in English, AP AB Calc (5), Senior Year: AP Chem, AP Physics B, Dual Enrollment in Calculus 2
SAT: 720m 640cr 600w (I have never excelled at standardized tests and feel I will improve my score if I take it again)
ACT: have not taken</p>

<p>Awards/Accomplishments: Placed 2nd in the State for Computer Systems Troubleshooting (TSA), Junior Engineering Technical Society (JETS) Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science Competition: our team of 8 placed 1st in the state and 8th in the nation, I developed and researched a method of producing bio-diesel fuel from my high school's used fryer oil, and modified a diesel generator to run on it with 2 other members of my TSA chapter. Hopefully within a year we will have produced a large scale refinery that is capable of producing enough fuel to be used in my school's lawn mowers and grounds keeping equipment. I attended a camp on Nanotechnology at Penn States research and development facilities this past summer, and attended two local leadership conferences. </p>

<p>Community Service: Not sure about how many hours but I volunteer at local charity fund raisers for 1 day every few months, and help organize and participate in NHS events.</p>

<p>Other: I am very interested in computers, and built one as my graduation project, and have assisted friends, neighbors, and teachers with their computer related problems (does that count as volunteer work?), I have held a part-time job with the Dining Services at a local university (Millersville) for the past 4 years, and since than have been promoted to Student Supervisor and am in charge of up to 12 college & h.s students each shift.</p>

Virginia Tech

<p>haha you put penn state and pitt as safeties, while putting purdue as a match. Okyou'llsee..., you have lost all credibility as a chance person now. </p>

<p>Correct list:
Umich - reach
pitt - match
penn state university park- match
vtech - match
purdue- safety (their acceptance rate is over 80%). Purdue is a great school, but please do some research before chancing pitt/psu as safeties.
U of ND - reach
cornell - reach
carnegie mellon - reach</p>
