<p>Well I live in Texas and I would really like to be an electrical engineer or something along those lines. I am in the top 5% of my class (30 out of 607). I got a 4.0 gpa (not A+'s.. just A's). I took 12 AP's with 4's and 5's on all. I received a 2180 on my SATI (760/670/750) (m/cr/wr), which was the highest in my class(not sure if that helps!). I work about 18-24 hours a week at the local grocery store. I have 40 or so hours of volunteer work. My ecs aren't great.. NHS, NM commended, YoungRepub.. Should I expect to get in to CMellon?</p>
<p>You have a pretty good chance. Just make sure you have extra extracurriculars and other things that show your interest in engineering (e.g internships, classes at county college, research, leadership in a math/science related club). But your stats are very good.</p>
<p>Would being a teacher’s aide for my physics teacher help my app?</p>
<p>What exactly do you help your physics teacher with?</p>
<p>It’s a class period and its where you answer questions and grade papers and stuff like that</p>
<p>no, not worth mentioning, except perhaps by your teacher if she wrote your rec</p>
<p>I don’t see how it’s not worth at least mentioning somewhere. If you do that in undergrad it’s certainly something you’d put on your application to grad school.</p>
