<p>So after being denied from my top two choices of MIT and CalTech, I doubt that I stand much chance of admission at Princeton or Stanford. I have a 4.0 unweighted GPA, am 2/29 in my class, have a 2050 SAT, 32 ACT, 720 Math II SAT, 600 Chemistry SAT, 5 on Calc AB AP, 4 on Calc BC AP, 4 on World History AP, 4 on English Lang and Comp AP, 3 on Chem AP, and 2 on US History AP. I have taken many college classes, and I will graduate with around 33 college credits, not including the ones I would receive from AP classes. My major EC's are my NOSB team, Pep Squad, and NHS. NOSB is my big one, it is an ocean trivia bowl and my team has received 3rd regionally twice and 1st last year, allowing us to place 6th nationally.
I plan on going into either Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering. Of these following schools where should I go to receive said degrees, or re-attempt my top choices like MIT, CalTech, Stanford, etc. for grad school?
UT Austin (Already Admitted)
A&M College Station (Already Admitted)
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Harvey Mudd
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
Franklin W Olin College
CalPoly
Cooper Union
University of Washington-Seattle</p>
<p>RUN to Texas. Great school. Great engineering. You’re not likely to get into the best school on your list, Mudd, and Texas is the equal or superior of the rest.</p>
<p>If you are a Texas resident, it makes no sense to reject the UT offer of admission unless the environment there is just not your cup of tea.</p>
<p>Once you have EA admits in hand, the only schools to pursue are ones you’d prefer to the ones you have already. Or if money is an object, go for that. If you want to continue to pursue MIT and Cal Tech, go on ahead and maybe continue with lottery ticket schools, but any school that you know is not in consideration with the TX school acceptances on the table is a waste of time and money. Unless you already have the apps in and you want to see if you get some great merit offers with the possibility of going that route rather than to the TX school.</p>
