<p>I replied to one of your other posts.</p>

<p>Jfs4691, should be ignored.</p>

<p>I think you're only 'in' to two of 9 (Georgia Tech and Penn State-UP). And GT is a little iffy, because you may be behind in math.</p>

<p>You cannot walk into a top college as a black kid simply because you're black. Especially if you're from Pennsylvania/CT/NY/MA.</p>

<p>^ haha yeah, jfs4691 sounds bitter...</p>

<p>your SAT score is pretty low for some of the schools you're considering. I think you have a good shot at the others though, and affirmative action does help.</p>

<p>As an engineering major, will my 760 for the Math SAT part carry some weight?</p>

<p>How can I stand out in my application?</p>
