Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi there. I am looking for some feedback on my chances for the schools I have not received decisions from yet. I have been accepted by UCF, UF, UIUC, FloridaTech, and I recieved a "likely letter" from UPenn. I am still waiting for UMich, USC, GeorgiaTech, Cornell, and Princeton.</p>

<p>High school:
Public Magnet (I am in the Cambridge Engineering Strand)
One of the best schools in South Florida</p>

<p>Race and Ethnicity:
White Hispanic (Guatemalan/Cuban)</p>

<p>Major: Engineering (Not sure which branch)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.66/5.58
Strength of schedule: Mostly AP/AICE, some honors, and engineering classes
Rank: 94% out of 360</p>

<p>SAT: 2140; Math 770, Reading 730, Writing 640
ACT: 31; Math 33, English 30, Reading 32, Science 32</p>

<p>AP Scores: 3 in World History and US History, 5 in Physics B
AICE Scores: Passed all tests, scores don't mean anything to schools as AICE is new</p>

<p>Current schedule: AP Macro, AP Gov, AP Physics C E&M, AP Calc BC, AP Lit, AP Computer Science, 2 Engineering classes.</p>

<p>ECs:
Technology Student Association (Sergeant at Arms) (Won 1st place in CAD 3D at states and 2nd at Nationals)
Robotics (VEX Specialist) (Won 1st at StemTech Botball Competition and 4th overall at a state competition)
Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers
Key Club (Distinguished Member)
*Starting a middle school outreach program using VEX IQ to teach STEM

Umpire at local park baseball league</p>

<p>Summer Programs:
Summer Engineering Institute (GeorgiaTech)
Florida Governor's School for Space Science and Technology (FloridaTech)
National Flight Academy (Pensacola AFB)</p>

<p>So what are my chances for my 5 remaining schools??</p>

<p>UMich CoE would be a low reach for you. your SAT/ACT scores are around the 25% while your GPA is below average. Your URM status and EC did help you, otherwise, it would be a reach. USC and Cornell would be similar, while Princeton would be a reach.
Which program did you apply to at UIUC? The engineering programs at UIUC has a very similar admission stat as UMich CoE, however, it may weight the GPA, URM, and EC slightly different.</p>

<p>I applied to Aerospace at UIUC. UMich recently invited me to their “leaders and best weekend” for the CoE. Is that a good sign??</p>

I think that’s a very good sign, about UMich. :slight_smile:

Here’s what I think:
UMich: Not sure (depends how the weekend goes I think, but sounds good)
USC: Match
GeorgiaTech: Match
Cornell: Low reach
Princeton: Low reach

Chance me back, please? http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/17961793#Comment_17961793

This is from last year. The OP would already have received the balance of decisions. Please do not resurrect old threads. Closing.
