<p>Next year I'm going on the engineering team and science bowl, because you have to be enrolled in or have taken physics to be on them (dumb). Probably a service organization too.</p>
<p>I'm at my first camp right now and we're gonna freeze stuff with liquid nitrogen in a bit :O!!!</p>
<p>That is correct that Ivies do not give scholarships. How can they, with the caliber of students that attend? What would make one student more deserving of a scholarship than another? Ivies are made affordable by need-based aid. If your family makes over $100,000 per year, you won't get very much aid from Cornell, if any at all. However, if your family makes less than $50,000 per year, it could be almost free to attend Cornell. I'm not familiar with Cornell's financial aid, but at other Ivies you would not have to pay much at all.</p>
<p>i agree with mpl161991; although carnegie melon, rice, and cornell will be reaches considering your stats.. essays can change it completely around though :)</p>
<p>"If you like schools like UF you should definitely check out Michigan. You seem to have the grades and GPA to get in there, though its not a lock."
To be honest I think you are actually a lock at UMichigan. If you want to be an engineer, UMich is highly reputable.</p>
<p>Definitely apply. There are kids who were only in the top 50% of my school's graduating class with 3.6 GPAs who went to UMich. That being said, my school is a Newsweek top 10 school.</p>
