<p>Here are my stats:
-Weighted Numeric Grade Average: 90.8611
-Rank: 154/492
-PSAT: 207(63V, 69M, 75W)
-SAT: 1390(700V, 690M)
-Classes: 5 AP classes so far (world, us, chem, calc ab, computer science a) and planning on taking 3 or 4 more next year. IMO pretty challenging courseload.
-Sports: Long distance Track and Cross Country sophmore and junior years (plan to do it next year as well)
-Other EC: Orchestra, Academic Team, 4 summers (12 weeks) at Duke's TIP program, some small clubs (no leadership positions), and no job. I'm hoping to attend a pre-college program during the summer, too.
-Awards: none really.</p>
<p>Yeah, it's pretty apparent from my numbers that I'm pretty much a mediocre student. I'm a junior and I haven't been thinking about college really until I started getting letters in the mail about schools. I live in Georgia and go to a pretty competitive public high school. I really would like to go to an (out of state) engineering school (study computer engineering maybe?) but GA Tech's pretty much the only school I know of other than MIT. Are there any good engineering schools that I would have a good chance of being accepted to? </p>
<p>Wow, the title of this post makes me both envious and relieved that the process in nearing an end.</p>
<p>My main advice, hang around this board. You will pick up SO much knowledge from others, as well as occasional friendships (and perhaps an unhealthy addiction).</p>
<p>Eh, I think I may have posted to the wrong forum...I'm still kind of new here. Is there any way I could have this thread moved to "College Search & Selection". It might actually belong there.</p>
<p>Hehe, thanks mod for moving my post. By the way, does anyone else know of a school that could be a match for me? There are just so many out there and it'd be nice to choose from a list that had more than GA Tech on it.</p>
<p>Chungaroo -- there is a whole discussion group called Engineering Majors. Go to the main discussion page menu and scroll down. Lots of discussions about various colleges. Just don't believe the guy who says you're going to earn six figures with three years experience . . .</p>
<p>On another note: Does anyone know of a good <em>well rounded</em> pre-college program that offers courses that would be useful to a prospective engineering undergraduate student? By well rounded, I mean that I don't want to just go and take a couple of classes. While the main purpose, of course, is to learn, I also want to have a little bit of fun.</p>
<p>And does having pre-college experience boost application chances at all? Just wondering.</p>
