Please CHANCE ME (DESPERATE SENIOR) !!!

<p>I'm going for Bio Medical Engineering (I am not 100% set on this major however, so any engineering schools you may recommend will be much appreciated)- I'm really desperate so please do respond if you can :)</p>

<p>High School GPA:
9th grade: 97/100% ~ 4.0
10th grade: 99/100% ~ 4.0

Honors: Chemistry, Bio, Algebra, Trig, Geometry, Spanish, English, World History, Computer Programming (Java).
AP: Physics B (4) & C, AP Calculus AB, AP Java (just the test), AP US History (4) </p>

<p>SAT: (weakest point) -Will retake
1910: R:610 W:660 M:640
SAT II: Physics: 740 Math 2: 750</p>

<p>EC:
9th grade: Worked in my school library (100+ hours)
10-12 grades: Track team for 3 years, School Chess team 1 year, Carl Sagan Research Program 3 years, NASA Summer Internship, NY Science and Engineering Fair (Worked on a Climate Data analysis program), Environmental Protection Internship during my sophomore year [I was still undecided on my major back then] + Multiple School Science fairs (2nd place), attended NASA/Local College Science Seminars, will attempt the M3 Math challenge later this year. </p>

<p>Background: White, male, living in NYC- my HS is a large school with over 3500 students (very diverse)
Immigrated to U.S. ~5 years ago from Uzbekistan. In terms of responsibility I had to translate pretty much everything for my parents as they do not speak much English so since Junior High I had to help my parents in any way I could (Ex: in 7th grade I had to go with my dad to the DMV so I would translate for him, In 7-10 grades I would do most of the bills and mail for my family as I was the only one who knew how to speak the language). </p>

<p>Schools I am considering:
Supper Reach: MIT, Cornell (I know its a very large stretch but I still want to try)
Other: UPenn, UCSD, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Boston University, City College of New York.
Please suggest any other engineering schools you can thank you :)</p>

<p>Rice university. You need to relax! You might want to write essay about translating for your father etc. shows the responsibility you took on.</p>

<p>Apply to Cornell early, better chance. They extended. Deadline due to hurricane</p>

<p>Thanks what about the UC schools?</p>
