Hello! I am currently an 11th grader at a high school with desires to continue to a top college (Carnegie Mellon, Penn State Schreyers, Cornell, maybe MIT although I doubt I will get in there) for engineering, mathematics, or physics. With the following stats, what chance do I have?
GPA: 3.91 UW/4.37W (This will go up through 11th and 12th grades by AP classes)
AP is 5 weighted, Hrs is 4.5
9th Grade:
Hrs College Algebra (A)
Hrs Biology (A)
Hrs American Studies 1 (A-)
GHP English (A+) (Hrs would not fit in my schedule)
Hrs French 2: (A)
Band (A Plus)
PLTW intro to Engineering Design (A, 8/9 on final exam)
10th Grade:
Hrs Trigonometry (A)
Hrs Chemistry (A+)
AP US History (A, 5 on AP Exam)
Hrs French 3 (A)
Hrs English 2 (B+) (Very Hard Class for me)
Band (A+)
PLTW Principles of Engineering (A, 9/9 on final exam)
Took Physics 1 Hrs over the summer
11th Grade Classes with grades so far:
AP Calculus (A+)
AP World History (A)
AP Physics C (A+)
Hrs English 3 (A-)
AP Statistics (A+)
Band (A+)
PLTW Aerospace Engineering (A+)
Likely taking Physics 2 as a college course (assuming I succeed in Physics C) in 12th grade.
French would not fit this year, probably going to take it online or through a community college.

Started You Tube Channel in which software such as Google Earth is used to depict my future transportation ideas and improvements to the current transportation and infrastructure system in America
Description: -Welcome to WEBEO! The source of all your transportation needs and interests! Here is a channel that is a little different from the crowd. I focus on using software such as Google Earth to depict FUTURE TRANSPORTATION IDEAS. Since I was young, I always wanted to build the finest infrastructure in the world. So what better way than just to implement those skills into developing possibilities to enhance America and the real world! From new railway lines to reducing traffic and commute times, strong infrastructure is vital to DRIVE A REGION’S ECONOMY!

My 9th and 10th grades are weak, but 11th grade seems to be going on fine.
What are my chances?
