<p>What's up CC? Current HS Senior here and I have no clue which schools I can get into. anyways, here are my stats/schools:</p>

<p>School: pretty competitive mid-lower-upper-middle-class school in suburban Atlanta. </p>

<p>GPA: 3.9ish unweighted (my school uses CNA, so I have no clue how to calculate weighted GPA)</p>

<p>APs:
World History (5)
US History (5)
Chemistry (5)
English Lang (5)</p>

<p>Honors: 9th grade English, 10th grade English, Biology (9th), Chemistry (10th), Algebra (9th), Geometry (10th), Pre-calculus (11th), Spanish 2 (10th), Spanish 4 (11th)</p>

<p>Current schedule:</p>

<p>AP English Literature (boy, do I regret this)
AP European History
AP Microeconomics (1st semester)/Macroeconomics(2nd semester)
AP Psychology
AP Physics B
AP Calculus BC</p>

<p>SAT Superscore (took it twice, procrastinated on studying both times):
670 reading (don't know why it's so low, I got a 77 on the CR PSAT)
770 math
730 writing</p>

<p>SAT II:
US History (Pending, pretty sure I got an 800)
Chemistry (Pending, pretty sure I got an 800)
Math II (Also pending, don't feel quite as confident, but still feel high 700s)</p>

<p>Awards:
Nat'l merit semifinalist
AP Scholar
I'm sure there's more..</p>

<p>ECs:
Football (JV 9th,10th, Varsity 11th, quit partially because I broke my foot in the offseason)
Beta Club
Spanish National Honor Society
Job at a pizza place (15-18 hours a week, started this summer)
I'm sure that there's more here, too..</p>

<p>Schools:
UC Berkeley (do you really need a fine art credit to be admitted?)
UGA (safety)
GA Tech (safety)
Southern California
Harvey Mudd
Cornell
Dartmouth
Princeton (lol)
Stanford (getting recommendation from an alum)
Rice</p>

<p>Getting recommendations from AP Chemistry teacher (Stanford alum, I was one of very few Juniors to get a 5, and he has a mancrush on me), and from AP Lang teacher (we're pretty much friends).</p>

<p>I'm really just looking for a school with both strong engineering and humanities programs, as I'm tentatively planning to apply as an engineer and minor in something like history, so I'm really open to suggestions.</p>

<p>I would chance you back, but I'm quite clueless as to what makes someone qualified to be admitted into whichever college.</p>

<p>Rice-Maybe a bit of a reach, but you’re definitely in range.
UGA-Obviously in
GTech-Obviously in
Cornell-Oddly the same as Rice. Little bit lower acceptance rate, but you could def be admitted here.
Stanford- Moderate Reach. This school is hard for anyone
USC-Tough school, but I think you’re in
Harvey Mudd- Decent Shot, just like Rice and Cornell
Princeton- Same as Stanford
Berkeley- This is a good school, but odd in admissions. If you meet all their funky requirements, you’re definitely in based off of your general credentials.</p>

<p>There ya go</p>

<p>thanks for the advice, guys. I’m going to retake the SAT to get my reading score up. If I get it up 50-70ish points would that improve my chances at Rice/Stanford/Cornell great deal?</p>

<p>Weird that you can’t edit posts on CC…</p>

<p>What counts as fine art for Berkeley?</p>

<p>Anything else that I can do to boost my chances of admission?
Any recommendations for colleges?</p>

<p>Everything works for you, except the ECs, which seem a bit conventional and weak. Maybe you can spin them into something big in your essay.</p>
