<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I'm a rising senior and starting the college app process and I was wondering if anyone could help me find some schools around my level which would be good for me to apply to.
This is pretty much my high school career.</p>

<p>GPA
Freshman Year: 3.44 UW , 3.44 W
Sophomore Year: 3.93 UW, 4.07 W
Junior Year: 3.92 UW, 4.5 W</p>

<p>Class Rank: Not sure, but Top 10% - that's all our school tells us.</p>

<p>SAT Reasoning Scores: 800 Math, 760 Critical Reading, 760 Writing
SAT II Scores: 790 Math II, 780 Physics, 740 Chem
AP Scores: 5 on Chem, Spanish Lang, US History, CompSci AB, World History</p>

<p>Applying as Engineering (Mechanical Engineering)</p>

<p>Science Olympiad Treasurer
Robotics Club president (competitive school in robotics - FIRST and VEX teams) Also, been doing it since 6th grade.
Piano (10 years)
Ethnic instrument (11 years)
Working for ~3 years at a small engineering firm
Internship at research lab
Volunteering 100+ hours</p>

<p>So far, I'm thinking about applying to UCs since I'm a california resident, but beyond that I can't think of too many schools. I most probably would prefer to go to a larger university (like the UCs) but not really sure at the moment.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>What can your parents afford?</p>

<p>Though your freshman GPA is a bit low, it’s encouraging to see the upward trend & that you still rank in the top 10% of your class!</p>

<p>U Mich, U Wisconsin, and UT would be good to look at (if you don’t mind going to OOS public schools). What about Purdue, Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern, and Wash U St. Louis? I realize the locations are all over the place, but I didn’t know what you preferred so I just listed several different schools.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>WashU, CMU, and NU are not matches - I really have no idea why you grouped those schools with Purdue.</p>
