My chances at Stanford for EECS

<p>Let me just start by saying that I attend a rigorous high school in California, consistently one of the top rated high schools. We send about 80 kids every year to UCB and UCLA. Everybody is so damn good. I am a junior and am considering applying to all the good engineering schools next year for Computer Science/Electrical Engineering. </p>

<p>Here's a little bit about me:</p>

<p>SAT: 2260(plan to retake because I somehow got a 710 on math when I usually get 800; So I expect 2330+ next time)
ACT: 34 (I think it translates to 2300 on the SAT)
Weighted GPA: 4.4(for 10th and 11th grade) 4.5 counting Senior year (assuming straight a's)</p>

<p>Unweighted: I only got 2 b's throughout my first three years. My high schoolhas some nasty teachers for AP physics.</p>

<p>Class Rank: Should be top 4% which is damn good at my high school.</p>

<p>Haven't taken any SAT 2's yet but expect 800 in math 2c and close to that in physics and us history.</p>

<p>EC'S</p>

<p>1)Cross Country Varsity Captain
2)Track-Captain
3)Received awards and got many of my poems published. I write a lot of poetry
4)Won several piano competitions- I have been playing for 7 years
5)Will obtain a job tutoring at Princeton Review over the summer; teaching math and science
6)Will work in India in my uncle's gaming company- requires great programming skills; he will give me an internship
7)Speech and Debate- I did it freshman and soph. year. I won a few tournaments
8)Robotics- Will become more actively involved next year.
9) 100 hrs of Community Service- at YMCA and plan to do more at India over the summer. </p>

<p>Essays:
I consider myself a gifted writer. I write poetry in my spare time so I really have an affinity for writing. My essays will definitely boost my application.</p>

<p>Is this good enough for Stanford? How can I enhance my app?</p>

<p>Thanks a bunch. Please let me know what I should improve on.</p>

<p>Scores and gpa are good but you're not showing too much focus with ECs, so your like one of many. Try to do more cs related stuff, and a good essay will help. Unfortunately I don't think you've got a very good shot at Stanford, but you've got a great shot at Berkeley, which also has a top EECS program.</p>

<p>BTW, are you from the Bay Area. You're school sounds like mine!</p>
