Engineering Chances? Cornell, UVa, Northwestern, Duke, PSU Honors

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Going for engineering. Math SAT is nearly perfect. Out of 1600, in the low/mid 1500s. ACT Math is a 35 as well. (ACT Composite: 33)</p>

<p>SAT Subject Tests kind of hurt. A 710 in Math I and a 630 in Chem.</p>

<p>GPA is about a 96 out of 100 unweighted, with what would be considered a most-rigorous course load for my school.</p>

<p>5 Varsity Letters in 5 varsity sport seasons so far, including being named a League All Star 3x. (not being recruited by any of these schools)</p>

<p>Various leadership positions. Have delivered several speeches. Good amount of service work.</p>

<p>ECs are diverse. Math Team, Honor Society, Spanish Club, etc.</p>

<p>White male from Pennsylvania.</p>

<p>Chances for Cornell, UVa, Northwestern, Duke, and PSU Honors College? (RD for all)</p>

<p>Forgot to mention that I have a job working about 10-15 hours a week as well.</p>

<p>Well, if it’s not too late, I encourage you to take SAT Math II, as a high score in that would increase your chances of getting into a good engineering school. Otherwise, everything sounds fine, and you have decent chances for any of those schools.</p>

<p>Thank you, and I think it may be too late. I’ll double-check though. I’m sort of hoping the math scores from the SAT I and ACT will show what kind of a math student I am.</p>

<p>Your grades in your math courses might help. But for engineering, SAT Math I is very weak when taken into consideration. So let’s hope that college admissions overlook that! :)</p>

<p>You can just submit ACT for Northwestern. They say they “recommend” SAT sub tests, but plenty of people got in with only ACT.</p>

<p>I already sent them the Subject Tests, but Duke said either SAT w/ 2 Subject Tests or the ACT w/ Writing so I just sent my SAT I and my ACT.</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback, guys.</p>

<p>it seems like you’ll get into all those schools honestly. your 5 varsity letters are pretty amazing</p>
