<p>It has been my dream to go to a good university. I am a foreigner (a junior in a high school), and live in Connecticut. I moved to the U.S. 2.5 years ago. I am a permanent resident though not a citizen. Right now, I have a 3.7-3.8-ish GPA (unweighted, on a 4.0 scale) and have taken 4 AP classes so far:
AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Computer Science and AP US History. I am taking at least 2 more APs my senior year (next year): AP Physics and AP Economics + Calculus BC.</p>
<p>I participate in Math League and an engineering club at school. I also play volleyball (3 years so far+next year+varsity). My SAT scores are 1780/2400 (500 Reading, 570 Writing, 710 Math)+ 8/12 on the essay part. Taking another SATs this upcoming March again. My Freshmen year in High School, I had taken no honor classes but got good grades (I took algebra II during my freshman year).</p>
<p>I am interested in engineering and have been taking an engineering course in my school for 2 years (and probably will take another one next year). I love math and physics.I speak two languages (my native and English).</p>
<p>I am looking at some good schools like Boston University, University of Connecticut, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Northeastern (in Mass), and probably Tufts/Cornell.</p>
<p>I'd like to hear something about my perspectives on me getting into a good college? Should I look at those schools, maybe better, maybe lower. And yes, colleges must be from NY, CT, MA, or NJ.</p>
<p>I don't what I am going to major in, probably engineering (computer/hardware/electronics) or statistician(mb). </p>
<p>I forgot to mention that I also play acoustic guitar :)</p>
