<p>Dont write me off yet. I want to be an Aerospace or Aeronautics Engineer.</p>
<p>Colleges I would like- Stanford, University of Boulder, MIT, CalTech, Berkely, Cornell, or Princeton.</p>
<p>GPA- 3.956</p>
<p>ACT- on the plan test it said about a 30. But I have taken other practice tests and it's about a 34-35 ish.</p>
<p>I am taking 5 AP classes, next year I am taking 6. All honors classes, except US history.</p>
<p>Extra Curricular- Started a chess club (president), French club president, NHS for 2 years, NJHS for 1 year, Foreign exchange leadership program next summer in France, went to Kenya for humanitarian aid over 500 hours of community service, volunteer at the aquarium, extra science classes in the summer (will graduate with 10 years of science credits). Top 5 percent in my school. Top 20 in the state for chess. Boy scout almost an eagle. Soon to be complete. Science club, math club, and participated in the state math competition. Also in the state chess competition. Also putting in my application for interact club.</p>
<p>Recommendations- Tons. Science teachers, French teachers, you name it.</p>
<p>Just would like to know what chances are. I am a junior so I have time to make up for whatever I need to. Also of anyone has any information on the engineering fields I have said I would love any information.</p>
<p>Your ECs are solid. Back that up with good test scores (need some SAT subject tests in there), and you have a great shot at the colleges you listed.</p>
<p>Right now, it looks as if you’re doing all the right things. Obviously a 34-35 ACT is more impressive than a 30.</p>
<p>Let’s split the difference and say you get a 33 on the ACT </p>
<p>Your application would be competitive at any of the schools you list. However, Princeton, MIT, Stanford, Cal Tech and Cornell (the ones listed by Catria as reaches) all have impossibly low acceptance rates. There is little meaning to the term “Reach” or “Match” with these schools, they’re like entering the lottery for almost anyone.</p>
<p>Bottom line – keep up the good work, you should get into an excellent university for your preferred field of study.</p>
