College Search & Selection

<p>Hey what's up everybody I'm looking to get into a college w/ a good engineering program and all that. I'd say I'm a pretty good student but I'm not a genius or an EC extraordinaire or anything like that. How realistic is my college list?</p>

<p>Stats:
3.773 GPA 20/283 (7%)
SAT I: 710M 600V = 1310 + 620W = 1930
Retaking in Oct. and taking SAT IIs in Nov.</p>

<p>I've taken mostly honors and AP classes. Demanding schedule but not the MOST demanding. Concentrated on computer/technical classes. I'll have six APs by the time I'm out, one from 10, two from 11, and three this year.</p>

<p>ECs: nothing spectacular but involved in each one
- NHS 2 years
- FBLA 3 years
- Skills USA 1 year
- Community service 5 years: hospital volunteer/daychair 550 hrs + counting
- JV Math League 1 year
- Varsity Math League 2 years</p>

<p>For those of you who know, I'm also A+ certified.</p>

<p>So how's my college list and my chances of getting into each of them? Please respond, and thanks for the help.</p>

Cornell University
University of Virginia
Virginia Tech - ED

<p>Carnegie Mellon and Cornell are reaches. U Maryland, UVA, and Virginia Tech are matches. I would drop James Madison and George Mason and substitute some good engineering schools. Vanderbilt, UNC, Bucknell</p>
