My Last Chances Thread...

<p>So, I pretty much finalized my list of colleges and thought I would ask my chances one more time. (kinda in order of preference, I know I got a lot of reaches but I am pretty sure that I can get into Maryland-CP and i would be more than happy to go there)</p>

<p>Schools:
Cornell COE-ED
Carnegie Mellon CIT
Columbia SEAS
Northwestern
Johns Hopkins
Maryland-College Park
University of Virginia
Lehigh</p>

<p>About Me:</p>

<p>I'm gonna major in Mechanical Engineering, I live in Maryland, I am an over-represented minority (i'll probably omit it on the app), Male, don't really need financial aid, and am a senior at a competitive public school.</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>SAT I: 2300 (760M, 740V, 800W(10E))<br>
Chemistry: 800
Math 2c: 790
World History: 680 (most of my colleges only require 2, so hopefully this won't hurt too bad)</p>

<p>GPA: Unweighted 3.95/4.00 (Got a B in english this year)
Weighted: idk, more than unweighted...i took mostly G/T and AP classes.
Rank: top 10ish/435</p>

<p>AP: (10th grade) US gov and pol (5)
(11th grade) chem (5), calc ab (5), world history (4), and english language (4)
(12th grade) physics (both of the C ones), english literature, and calc bc
EC's: (Not great)
-National Honor Society (did my community service requirements for this)
-Maryland Technology Honor Society (didn't do much)
-Future Business Leaders of America (didn't do much)
-Piano (umm...yea)
-Tae kwon do (black belt, demo team)
-An internship at NASA (before junior year)
-Volunteered at a hospital this summer (like 132 hours)
-Enrolled in a tech-magnet program at my school where i go to an applications and research laboratory and have a 2-period class there (we built an electrathon vehicle, its like a battery-powered racer that we can drive around in); will do a different project this year, maybe a robot</p>

<p>Teacher Recs: Pretty average (i dont do anything special in class...besides doing well in the class...if that makes any sense) not bad, but average</p>

<p>Essays: Will be okay, im not really great at writting, i only got an 800 on the SAT cuz i aced the MC, but i have and will put a lot of effort into it</p>

<p>Other: Perfect attendence throughout high school, Ap scholar with distinction (that's all i can think of now)</p>

<p>Thanks in advance, for any replies.</p>

<p>BUMP (10 char)</p>

<p>All of these schools will roll the red carpet for you except for columbia and cornell which will be a match.</p>

<p>i say you're in cornell ED. so no need to worry about anything else</p>

<p>K, thanks, anyone else?</p>
