<p>I have never done this b4, but I would say that most everything on the list would be a reach unless you could improve your SAT scores; You seem smart enough that you should beable to do that though--You are in calculus so you should ba able to get ~800 in the math. Your EC's etc look good.</p>
<p>What is your unweighted GPA?
Are you going to to take the SAT again?
If i were you, i would prep for the SAT over the summer and take it during the fall.</p>
<p>My unweighted gpa is about 3.9981. As for my Sats I took them again in may and waiting for the results, however I do real bad in standarized exams. As for math, itst probally my weakest subject. </p>
<p>So my gpa and ec's don't play much of a role.:(</p>
<p>So there's no chance for any of these schools...:( oh well back to the college search process.</p>
<p>Any suggestions for a good college that has has computer science and english as double majors (as that is what I mainly intend on majoring in.)</p>
<p>Oh in that case one of those Maine colleges that are very good
(Bowdoin, Colby, and Bates) have the SAT-optional rule too...not sure which one...but any of those three is a great education.</p>
<p>Any other feedback. I decided that Univeristy of rochester is going to be on my list as wel, considering i recieved a scholarship from them (Kodak young leader award.)</p>
<p>even though his sat's r not quite ivy-league status evrything else seems 2 b well above avg...i say u hav a chance at RIT, NYU, WPI......maybe carnegie mellon but try 2 hit around a 1950-2100 in oct.</p>
<p>If you can't raise your SAT's you're going to have problems, since your stats are perfect otherwise. If you can get in the 2200 range you even have a good chance at top 15 universities.</p>
<p>CMU's Computer Science is your biggest reach because it's tied with MIT for 1st. They deny many people with math scores of 800. I don't think anyone with a math score below 700 is even seriously considered.</p>
<p>With a small increase in SAT, WPI, RPI, RIT, Union should be safeties.</p>
<p>For Cornell to be a reasonable reach you'd need around a 2000. Then, NYU would be a match and Columbia would sound reasonable. </p>
<p>For Princeton and Stanford you're going to need barrels of luck.</p>
<p>Yes add Rochester, they're great. You'll have lots of options.</p>
<p>I've never heard of Union college, is it any good? Also does anyone know any good colleges in NJ(my home state) that I can use as safeties. I already have a full scholarship at NJIT.</p>
<p>Your GPA, which evaluates your performance during 4 years, is more important than your standardized test scores, which evaluates your performance during only 4 hours. Good luck!</p>
<p>GPA is important, but so is where it came from. This is why class rank is by far the more impt measure. At many CA public schools, a 4.2 is not top 10%!</p>
<p>Cornell and Carnegie Mellon engineering are very large reaches. NYU's compsci dept isn't anything special, so I'd reconsider that. RPI, RIT, URoch are 3 good compsci schools but I'd STRONGLY recommend you visit each first. They are in "odd" areas, to be nice. WPI is decent as well. But these are all sort of reaches with those SATs.</p>
<p>You know what your lottery tickets are. The geographics are a bit against you for some of your choices. But since the transcript is the most important single piece of your app, you certainly have a shot at those schools. I do suggest some true safeties as well--schools where your SAT1 puts you in their top range of students, and where the geographics and other factors make give you a little boost.</p>
