<p>Everyone remember to list 5 schools or less per post b/c no one wants to have to read a list w/a ton of schools. </p>
<p>I have another pair of schools to be chanced:</p>
<p>Rensselaer and Carnegie Mellon
High School: Very Well Known, competitive, Catholic in NYC
SAT: M: 710 / CR: 640 / WR: 680 / (2030 total, 1350/1600)

<p>This is just a reminder of the guidelines for this board:</p>
<p>What should be in your post:
1.) List of schools (only pick up to 5 b/c these posts need to be short)
2.) Description of High School
3.) SAT / ACT (you may include SATIIs)
4.) GPA (indicated if it's weighted or not)
5.) class rank (if your school doesn't rank, give your decile)
6.) EC's and awards, Don't list them. Just rate them w/the following scale (please be honest):</p>
<p>Outstanding
Very Good
Decent
Poor
Non-existent</p>
<p>7.) Extra: List anything that you think benefit you in the admissions process (legacy, recruited athlete, minority status, hard couse load, etc.)</p>
<p>Remember to chance the person above you. No one should have to be skipped over.</p>
