<p>I was feeling pretty confident until my physics subject test score came in...</p>

<p>GPA: 3.78 (I have close to a 4.0 this semester though. Also I go to a competitive private school)</p>

<p>Currently I'm taking AP Physics, Biology Honors, AP Calculus BC. Have also taken AP computer science. All math classes and science classes have been honors level.</p>

<p>SAT I:
Math: 730
Reading: 680
Writing: 690</p>

<p>SAT II:
Math II: 720
Physics: 630</p>

<p>Extracuriculars are solid. Some highlights are:
-Internship at Intel
-FIRST Robotics leader/member
-Varsity Track and Field
-participated in Medical research with doctors at a medical school
-various science classes and camps including nanotechnology/solar energy,
-extensive volunteer time at children's hospital. (total volunteer time around 200 hours)
-There are more specifics which are on my application but these are the main ones. </p>

<p>Strong essays </p>

<p>I have interviewed with them and I think that went well</p>

<p>My physics score didn't come out as I hoped and I'm scared that will bring down the rest of my application. Your thoughts?</p>

2

<p>are you in TX?
Edit: Never mind; yeah you have a really good shot since your from Oregon!</p>

3

<p>Why is that? Are they looking for people from Oregon or The Northwest specifically?</p>

4

<p>what school are you applying to? engineering might be tough to get into...</p>

5

<p>I'm applying to the school of engineering...</p>

6

<p>for any other school besides music, architecture, and maybe natural sciences you're in. you're competitive for engineering, but your SAT is a little low and both SAT II scores are low. your ecs are good though so hopefully that will get you in.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input. As long as I still have a legitimate shot at getting in I'm happy.</p>
