<p>So, these are schools I'm looking at and really like...
I'm looking to major in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering, along with Chemistry Teacher Education. </p>
<p>Vanderbilt University (I'd apply ED here, #1 school)
UNC Chapel Hill
The College of William and Mary
Stevens Institute of Technology
UT Austin
Colorado School of Mines
University of Mississippi
University of California, Berkeley (I know it's a stretch)
Cornell University (I'm a fan of The Office lol)</p>
<hr>
<p>So basically, I'm wondering a few things.</p>
<p>What are my chances at these schools? </p>
<p>Is there anything I can do to strengthen my application further?</p>
<p>For which schools would it be better for me to take a fourth year of a language (AP French)?</p>
<p>I know this is a lot, but thanks to those of you who take your time to look at this and respond!</p>
