Cornell vs. Upenn vs. Stevens vs. Rochester IT vs. Carnegie Mellon U vs. Chicago U ..

<p>YEs the previous are the schools i will be applying to next year. Judging from the following bio, do you think i will get except to the schools if any? thank you in advance...</p>

<pre><code> I moved to the states from Ukraine 8 yrs ago and focused oin education , primarily ruled by the stern hand of my father (shhh dont tell him i said that)
</code></pre>

<p>These are my "specs"
- 620 verbal, 690 math, 620 writing
- 3 AP (bio, calc Ab, and US history) as junior and chem, calc BC, physics and stats as senior
- GPA: 4.87 (the way my school does it and realtive to others in school)
- rank: ~<10 / 750+
- Activities: Math/science appreciation, math club, science league, chess club (prez)= in school. out of school= parish school member for 8 yrs., volunteer work at the local tree forestry 2 yrs, volunteer work at a hospital in Ukraine and farm work there. </p>

<p>i will gladly supply any info that might be needed to base your decision, that i find necesary.</p>

<p>Well, haven't been around here for awhile, so I might be a little rusty...</p>

<p>Cornell - match
Upenn - reach
Stevens - safety
Rochester - safety
Carnegie Mellon - safety
UChicago (NOT ChicagoU) - match</p>

<p>Suggestions:
-Take the SAT again. Get those English scores up!
-I applied to (and got accepted to) UChicago; their application is mostly dependent on your essay more than your stats. Just letting you know.</p>

<p>SATs might get in the way of a Cornell match, if you can raise the score to a 2100+ you're a math for Cornell ED (Apply only if you're set on going, I've heard people refer to it as "Cornhell" ;).). Otherwise I agree with redski, Upenn would certainly be possible too with a 2100+, but otherwise your chances at Upenn are rather slim :(.</p>

<p>I thought the average SAT at cornell was above a 1380. I'm guessing that it would be higher if you are an out-of-state applicant.</p>

<p>If you are not a native english-speaking student, make sure the colleges know that when they look at your Verbal score. Your class rank is outstanding, however.. the top 10 out ot 750? Holy crap.</p>

<p>hmm CMU is a match/reach, definetly not a safety with that math score. However I agree with the general concensus that your class rank is awesome</p>

<p>Sorry, I must have made a typo, or I wasn't thinking straight, but I definitely meant Carnegie-Mellon to be a match, not safety.</p>

<p>You're gonna have to bring up the SAT score slightly.</p>
