My chances at UT, GA tech, some tougher ones

<p>What are my chances of getting into:
University of Texas at Austin
University of Tulsa
Georgia Tech
Rice
Carnegie Mellon
Harvey Mudd
Tulane
Vanderbilt</p>

<p>Based on:</p>

<p>SATs-
760 Math
710 Reading
750 Writing
770 Chem
740 Math lvl 2
800 Physics</p>

<p>ACT-
32 English
35 Math
35 Reading
36 Science</p>

<p>Academics-
rank is about 20 of 120 (weak freshman year)
GPA 3.6 (88.5)
w/o freshman year 3.71 (91.5)
definitely an upward trend</p>

<p>Advanced classes-
AP US History
AP US gov
AP Econ
AP Stat
IB European history HL
IB Mathematics HL
IB Chem HL
IB English HL
IB French SL
IB Visual Art SL</p>

<p>Extracurriculars-
-I play bass in 2 bands
-Started the first non-vocal music activity at my school
-Debate team
-Odyssey of the Mind
-Choir
-Student Council
-NHS
-I teach AP Physics C: Mechanics as an afterschool class
-I was one of the leaders of a project which sold shirts to raise money to send school supplies to a school in Africa
-I am a lab intern at Rice University's Chemical Engineering lab</p>

<p>Probable majors: Physics, Chemical Engineering, Economics/Business</p>

<p>Probability of getting money at any of these places would be nice too.</p>

<p>Georgia Tech is a safety for you, not sure about the others.</p>

<p>Little corrections I'd like to make: math lvl2 is a 760, and the numeric grades I posted are probably way off, they were guesses made by a very sleepy boy.</p>

<p>I really hate that I am forced to bump this...</p>

<p>I don't know about UT. Your school GC would be the best source of info about that. By looking at past admits from your school she would be able to give you a good idea. </p>

<p>You have a very good list there, and I think you will have some good choices. As for money, well,if you get your app out super early, GT has a great scholarship, but it is truly a competitive one with its own app supplement. Tulsa and Tulane are your best bets for merit money. The other schools have a lot of competition for scholarships.. You are certainly in the running but there are just so many talented kids going for them, that it cannot be counted upon.</p>

<p>UT meaning Texas or Tulsa?</p>

<p>Couple more things, if they help somehow:
I am a rising senior
I am White
I live in Houston</p>

<p>One more opinion, pleeeeaaaase</p>

<p>I honestly think you have a strong chance at all, with CMU and Rice as your possible reaches.</p>

<p>Thanks, i calculated my numeric grade averages now, they are 89.8 with freshman year, 91.6 without.</p>
