<p>Just want some quick opinions...</p>

<p>Colleges: Boston University, RPI, Carnegie Mellon, Wake Forest Lafayette
Stanford, Princeton, and Cornell (just to see... you can always hope)
Deferred ED from UVA
I don't know if I will be applying to all of those, just want some ideas.</p>

<p>3.6 GPA (don't know weighted... but probably around 3.7-3.75 my schools grading scale is 94-100 so I don't know what affect that has)
2130 Combined SAT (690V 800M 640W)
5 on AP Stat exam, 4 on AP Comp Sci, 4 more AP's this year (5 AP tests), 11 honors classes throughout high school, 3 regular.
Rank is probably top 20 or top 15, I don't think we do exact ranks though.</p>

<p>A few EC's
Church Youth Group and community service, engineering club (founding member), NHS, math honor society, guitar (i play a ton), plan/attend summer service trips, tutoring after school/during lunch, school freshmen mentoring program... and some others those are just the important ones</p>

<p>Honors: considered for national merit scholarship, invited to national youth leadership forum on technology.</p>

<p>Very good essays (original, funny), and one of my rec's is definitely outstanding... the others should be pretty good.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>even with test scores i think your gpa is to low for princeton, stanford, cornell</p>

<p>Yea, those are definite reaches. But Stanford doesn't look at freshman year if I remember correctly, and that was a very bad year for me to my gpa is probably .1 higher without freshman year, so that might help. But yea I'm just hoping i might get into one of them on some crazy luck. Plus their essays are more fun to write :).</p>

<p>Mmm yea and I forgot to put up SAT II's:
780 Math 2
690 Physics
690 US History</p>

4

<p>those will definitely help. taking extra tests. your math is very high? is that something you want to study. because colleges willl take that into consideraton.</p>

5

<p>Yea my major will probably be something math/physics related, if not exactly a BS in math or physics.</p>
