<p>Hello, so I am barely going into my senior year and am working towards my applications and am wondering what to do.
I am a Hispanic URM (speak fluent Spanish) with good grades, scores, and ECs overall.
I would like to study Computer Engineering or Computer Science (or possibly dual major)</p>
<p>Final SAT: 2190 (Math: 760 CR: 720 Writing: 710), improved from previous single sittings of 1980, then 2130
Am planning on taking SAT IIs (Physics, Chem, and Math II) in early October
GPA: 102.8 (only one that my school has showed me, not 4.0 based)
Rank: 4/674</p>
<p>APs:
World History - 5 (10th)
US History - 3 (11th)
Psychology - 5 (11th)
English Language - 4 (11th)
Spanish Language - 5 (11th)</p>
<p>Senior Schedule:
AP Calc AB+BC, AP Physics B, Courtesy, AP Chemistry, AP English Lit, Criminal Justice, and AP Economics/AP Government</p>
<p>Other stuff:
Did two summers of Chemistry research at UT El Paso and accumulated 640 research internship hours, may get published in Early 2013 (2011 and 2012)
Class council senator (11-12th)
NHS (10th-12th)
Track and Field (9th-12th)
Spanish NHS board member(10th-12th)
District and Regional science fair competitor (9th-11th)
Community service 125+ hrs (9th-12th)</p>
<p>Will get recommendations from teachers who do like me a lot, as well as from a prestigious Professor who mentored me in the research and is currently a candidate for Presidency of the American Chemical Society. </p>
<p>Universities Considering:
Stanford (Top choice)
MIT (2nd)
UC Berkeley
Carnegie Mellon
Cornell
UT Austin (I live in Texas so admission is automatic for top 8%)</p>
<p>There is still much I am working for and will join more clubs and do more community service, but would like some tips as to how I stack up. I am also wondering if I should apply Restrictive Early Action to Stanford as it is my top choice but I have heard that lowers your chances.</p>
