<p>Hi, I would like to know how well I fit in to gain admission to RPI (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute)</p>

<p>Senior in decently competitive public HS
Male - Indian Descent</p>

<p>**GPA:<a href="UW">/b</a> 3.67 (W) 3.82</p>

<p>SAT I: 700 Math, 740 CR, 730 Writing
SAT IIs 720 Bio, 710 Math IIC</p>

<p>AP/Hons classes: AP Chem (4), AP Bio (3), AP Calc BC (4), AP Psychology (5) - Hon Physics, Hon PreCalc/Calc AB</p>

<p>Class Rank: Unknown, probably top 20%.</p>

<p>Essay: Decent essay about converting religions and how it alienated my friends etc. and how I changed from the exp. </p>

<p>ECs: Not many here - President of CAD Club (we do CAD drawings, even did some for some local engineering businesses), Varsity Math Team, ~100 hours volunteering at local clinic. </p>

<p>Major: Mechanical/Chemical Engineering (haven't decided)</p>

<p>Schools: Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst. , CMU , WPI</p>

<p>Thanks, hope someone at least gives some feedback.</p>

<p>No one?</p>

<p>I'd really appreciate some chancing =(</p>

<p>If you can demonstrate a passion for math and science, I'd say you have great chances into Rensselaer.</p>

4

<p>you should get in... i can get into case western with a 3.38 and a 1310 cuz of my school... i dunno why you shouldnt get in rpi</p>

5

<p>thanks, thats a relief to hear, what about Carnegie?</p>

6

<p>That might be a stretch, considering your big lack of ECs. Again, show passion for math and science and you'll have a shot.</p>

<p>Ahh!</p>

<p>the guidance office has informed me that my GPA is actually NOT 3.82 as previously calculated but actually 3.7, my UW GPA is the same though, it seems as they had some sort of error, how much does this impact my previous chances? Especially for RPI, my target school?</p>

<p>i don't know the latest stats for RPI, but i guess you do, so check them out. since they are truly a MATH school, and have a select math group of applicants, i wonder if your SAT in math is a little weak for them given their focus?</p>

<p>CB says their middle 50% in Math is 640 to 740</p>

10

<p>ok, good! thought it was higher...good luck!</p>

11

<p>well I just wanted to know how my GPA would impact it, since its the thing that changed.</p>

12

<p>Your test scores are consistently high, suggesting that your HS does not overinflate grades. I'd expect you to be in at RPI.</p>

13

<p>I also heard that RPI got more than 10,000 applications this year, only 49% of which were accepted, so I'm a bit worried, but yeah my school doesn't overinflate grades, I think the highest grade in Honors Physics ever achieved was an A-.</p>
