Engineering Hopeful - MIT, JHU, Cornell, etc.

<p>I just finished my Junior year at a public school in the suburbs of Philadelphia.
Here are my stats:</p>

<p>Rank: 3/716
GPA: weighted - 4.397
Ethnicity: white male (if that matters)
PSAT: M 66 CR 62 W 62
SAT: M 800 CR 710 W 700
ACT: 32
SAT II: Chem 730, Bio M 800 (taking Math 2 in October)</p>

<p>APs:
Euro - 4
Bio, APUSH, Eng Lang - took this year
Physics, US Gov, Eng Lit, Chem, Calc AB (my school doesn't offer BC but I may self study for it) - taking next year</p>

<p>EC's
VP of National Honors Society
VP of nature club (my school always wins local Envirothon)
Future Problem Soving Team Captain - came in 3rd in states freshman year
1st Chair Tenor Sax Jazz Ensemble + Symphonic Band, 2nd Chair in Wind Ensemble
Student Leader in Marching Band
Model UN
World Affairs Club
Mathletes (one of best on team, we do not compete in any major competitions, just local)
Debate Team next year
Foreign Language Club
Science Club (will be competing in Science Olympiads soon)
Environmental Action Club
Jr National Honors Society</p>

<p>Community Service
Aid for Friends
JRA (Jewish Relief Agency) - will soon receive recognition for continual participation
Arrange ensemble of friends to play at a retirement home regularly
Tutor
Clean up highway with Environmental Action Club</p>

<p>Classes
All highest levels possible. My school does not allow AP's until 10th grade, where Euro is the only option. 3 is the max in 11th, and 6 is the max senior year, but band is a class so the max I could do is 5 (Spanish is Honors, so I will only be taking 4), and my school does not offer AP Chem (the equivalent is Honors Chem 2, but I will be taking the AP test).</p>

<p>Summers
7-11 for 3 years (boss loved me)
Research at Fox Chase Cancer Center through highly selective Student Scientist Program</p>

<p>My college choices in order of preference:
MIT, Johns Hopkins, Cornell, Stanford, Harvard, Drexel, U Pitt</p>

<p>If I forgot anything, please ask!!!</p>

<p>Thank you so much!!!</p>

<p>Hey!</p>

<p>Apparently, what I posted as my rank (3/716) was wrong…</p>

<p>It is actually 1/714…But I’m not complaining! :D</p>

<p>Hope this makes your opinions more accurate.</p>

<p>Thanks again!</p>

<p>Everything looks great, except your W and CR could be a bit higher, even for engineering (at least the top schools you are looking at). Chemistry is a bit low too. You’re definitely involved enough in your school and outside of it (some fairly impressive ECs).</p>

<p>MIT: reach
Johns Hopkins: match
Cornell: low reach
Stanford: reach
Harvard: reach
Drexel: safety
U Pitt: safety</p>
