<p>I’m applying to colleges and was interested in Boston College’s Engineering program (both Bioengineering and Mechanical Engineering). I wanted to find out my chances. Do you think BC is a safety, match, or reach school for me? Would greatly appreciate prompt responses from experienced students, applicants, adcoms, etc… </p>
<p>Here’s a little bit about me:</p>
<p>Stats:
SAT I: 650M 660CR 590W and 650M 640CR 660W
SAT II: 800MathIIC 750BioM 700USH
GPA: 3.84UW and 4.24W
Rank: 2 or 3/480
APs: 7 and 3 JC courses (2x3s, 2x5s, 3x4s)</p>
<p>Extracurricular Activities:
Research
→ For two years I’ve researched alternative energies. I’ve briefly collaborated with university professors of MIT and Harvard, regarding methods for hydrogen production. After lots of research I actually converted an gasoline-powered generator to run on hydrogen. I’m currently working on making the design more efficient.
→ I’ve also written a research paper on Neuropsychology, entitled “The Effects of Slow-Rotation Spinning on Learning and Memory”</p>
<p>Inventing and Refining Technologies
→ I have filed for thirteen patents for designs of mine which range from improving automotive mechanisms to easing everyday life.</p>
<p>Botball Robotics
→ We went to nationals and scored second. Teams build and program robots to compete on a game board.</p>
<p>Tutoring
→ I hold biweekly tutoring sessions in which I teach Mathematics and Science (my form of community service).</p>
<p>Badminton
→ I prompted the construction of a badminton court (outside of school) and founded a badminton club. </p>
<p>Jobs
→ I have held a job at Ace Auto Works as an “eCommerce Specialist” for three years (about 10hrs/wk)</p>
<p>Awards and Distinctions:
Science Olympiad, 1st Place
Botball, 2nd Place
I-STAR SUMMA
Honor Roll
Golden Star Student</p>
<p>Summer Activities:
Research (discussed already)
Travel across Europe, America, Indo-Pak Subcontinent, Asia
Community college course in Computer Sciences</p>
<p>Miscellaneous Facts:
I’m applying Domestic, though I am applying from Bangalore, India. Since I attended a CA HS for the first three years of my HS, and only recently moved to India for the last year (due to my parents being transfered), I’m still considered a domestic applicant. I’m also a US Citizen, which furthers my quallification to be a domestic applicant. I’m not sure if this situation will advantage me or disadvantage me.</p>
<p>Anyway, would appreciate some feedback, I need to apply soon and time is definitely short.</p>
