<p>I am a high school senior from Massachusetts looking to major in Engineering. My top choices for college are ranked as follows: UMass Amherst (Engineering Program), WPI, Western New England University, and RIT. </p>

*Expecting 4's or 5's on AP tests</p>

<p>-Leo Club member (community service organization... many hours)
-Music Club
-Outing Club
-Volunteer for Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation regularly
-Self taught guitarist
-Attended Massachusetts Boys State program
(I am aware that these EC's are somewhat weak but my high school has little to offer.)</p>
<p>-Bausch and Lomb Honorary Science Award (University of Rochester)
-First to be awarded The Engineering Research and Building Award by my school</p>
<p>UMass is my first choice considering the cost and location. Although it is a state school, the engineering program is becoming increasingly selective each year. I was wondering if any recent graduates or current students in the engineering program could share any knowledge or thoughts on my acceptance chances. Please help!</p>
