How do I shape up?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I am a junior and taking two AP courses while the rest are all level 3 classes. I have yet to give my SAT and ACT.</p>

<p>From 9th grade to 11th grade, my grades haven't improved too much. In 9th grade, I didn't have any honors classes. In 10th grade, I got into some honors classes. In 11th grade, I have two AP classes. In 12th grade, I will have some honors classes and maybe 1 AP course.</p>

<p>I am looking towards a major in Computer Science since I am interested in computers.</p>

<p>I have done some research and found that the best colleges for Computer Science are Harvard, MIT, Northeastern, WPI, Boston University, Boston College, Tufts University etc...</p>

<p>Also, I am interested in a school in Massachusetts.</p>

<p>If I try at Harvard or MIT, what are my chances? What about any Ivy league school?
What about the schools I listed above (Northeastern, WPI, Boston College, Boston University, Tufts University etc...)?</p>

<p>Although my grades haven't always been high, I have tried to do other things that I like and that would look good on my resume such as programming for Microsoft's Windows operating system, voluntarily developing websites for non-profit organizations, volunteering at other places etc...</p>

<p>I appreciate your help.
Thanks!</p>

<p>anyone? please help me</p>

3

<p>Tell us your, current GPA, rank, if you have any hooks.</p>

4

<p>My current GPA is about 3.0
I don’t have class rank information but I would say I am top 30% of my entire grade level.</p>

5

<p>Your rank and lack of rigor will make Harvard and MIT impossible, Tufts and BC unlikely. With a good SAT score the others are in range.</p>

6

<p>Also, I need to write this:</p>

<p>EC</p>

<p>Robotics - School Team
Tennis - School Varsity Team
Track and Field - School Team
School media editing - Record school events such as sports and edit them on the computers.</p>

7

<p>Your gpa is too low for harvard, and your courses are too easy for mit. Only recruited athletes get in with that kind of score.</p>

8

<p>How about UMass Amherst?</p>

<p>From what I read, your choices seem to be a bit of a reach. You have a shot at Northeastern. Your sports definitely helps, but I wouldn’t count on Harvard or MIT. Good luck anyways!</p>
