My chances at a few colleges.

<p>I'm currently a sophomore in a Catholic school looking to be a computer engineer major.</p>

<p>GPA: 97
PSATs: 1300 (M65 V65) Not so great, I'm going to take a sat course this summer and I'm working on a practice question every day to boost it.
Rank: 1/230
ECs: Newspaper, Key Club... nothing much I'm going to add more in the future. Probably track or something.</p>

<p>Awards:
First Honors every semester so far.
Who's Who Among American High School Students
Scholarship for rank 1(if that counts...)</p>

<p>Looking at colleges such as:</p>

<p>Drexel, PennState, Carnegie, and Cornell.</p>

<p>Your rank is ridiculously good and I'm sure your SATs will go up (they usually do). Shoot for the stars! You're in at Drexel, PennState, and CMU (depending on which college you apply to within the university). If you kick up those SATs 100 points (I went from 1210 to 1450 from PSAT to 2nd SAT after studying and gaining some confidence), you'll have a good shot at Cornell. CMU and Cornell will be harder for computer science and engineering than arts and sciences.</p>

<p>yea my psats went something like 216-->226-->2330 so you can definitely improve with work! with higher test scores (actually, even with the ones you have now) i would shoot higher than penn state</p>

<p>Thanks for the quick responses. I mainly put PennState up there because I heard they had a good engineering program and I live in PA. I really want to go to a decent engineering school so I'm trying to reach for carnegie.</p>

<p>Thanks

<p>Another good engineering school in PA is Gannon up near erie.</p>

<p>U Rochester has strong engineering. Also check out Harvey Mudd, Cal Tech, U Mich, and Case. I think very highly of CMU, and I think you'll have a good shot at it.</p>

<p>great shot at all but cornell. even for cornell, you have a good chance (esp if you get sat's a bit higher)</p>
