<hr>

<p>Ok so here it goes</p>

<p>Sr from a top 100 newsweek public school in maryland
Ranked 9/249 in my class
School doesnt give weighted GPA, Unweighted: 3.86
SAT I: 630 Verbal, 800 Math, 690 Writing, Retook on Saturday (1430/1600, 2120/2400)
SAT II: Taking US History and Math II in november
Recommendations: 1 good one from an engineering teacher, 1 unknown from math teacher, probly good one from guidance
People say the essays are pretty creative and well written</p>

<p>AP's taken with scores: AB Calc 5, BC calc 5, Stat 4, English Lang 4, US hist 5, World Hist 5 AP Scholar with distinction
Taken all honors classes throughout high school with exception of electives
Sr. Schedule: AP English Lit, AP Bio, AP Econ, AP Psych
Johns Hopkins Future Scholars: Take math at Hopkins since high school doesnt have any more math classes, competitive program to get into
National Merit Commended Student
President, Founder of Math Club
Numerous Math Competitions: AMC, AIME, ARML, Princeton Math,Math League, Johns Hopkins High school math contest
Johns Hopkins Securing Our future conference (group where we talked about security and gave ideas to help prepare the community for natural or human security threat)
Four year member of Engineering Club, competed in Maryland Wood Bridge Challenge
Four year member Chess Club travel team member of County Championship team
Physics Olympics Math Team member
6 year United States Swimming (Qualified for Jr State Championships) won some amatuer athletic foundation competitions
Four year member Its Academic TV Trivia Team Captain
Student Congress in 9th Grade
Maryland Distinguished Scholar
150 hours of comm service at local Jewish Community Center w/ senior citizens</p>

<p>So what are my chances at these schools: Declared Major of Chem Engineering
University of Maryland, College Park (Engineering School)
Johns Hopkins University
University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) maybe their honors program
Towson University as a backup
UCLA as a dream school?</p>

<p>University of Maryland, College Park (Engineering School)--Match
Johns Hopkins University--Match to Slight Reach (depends on your SAT IIs)
University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) maybe their honors program--Safe Match
Towson University--Safety
UCLA--Match to Slight Reach (OOS) (depends on SAT IIs)</p>

<p>If you can get 730/730 on your two SAT IIs, then you will be match at John Hopkins and UCLA. If you go 670/670, I consider you slight reach at these schools.</p>

<p>can i get a bump in here</p>

4

<p>There are much better engineering schools for the $40K(with almost no aid for oos students) than ucla. Why is it your dream school?</p>

5

<p>i love the atmosphere location and everything about it. and in a dream world money doesnt matter lol. What do you think about my other schools and could you give me any ideas about engineering schools closer to MD that are medium/ big with a good pre-med program</p>

<p>If you like the LA area, have you looked at Harvey Mudd? They have an excellent engineering department! It's part of the Claremont Consortium...</p>

<p>Have heard others say good things about Penn State Engineering. What about CMU?</p>

7

<p>If you want to go to med school, I'd think twice about undergrad engineering. It's harder to get the high gpa you'll need. As for good engineering programs nearer MD, look at CMU.</p>

<p>OP isn't a good fit for HMC. He wants to go into chemical engineering and we only offer a degree in general. Also Mudd would plumit his chances for med school because of the low GPAs.</p>

<p>UCLA: Slight Reach (out of state, Engineering)</p>
