<p>The data communications stuff you keep seeing is part of this program i'm taking called technology magnet. They are requirements in order to attend this school. The senior practicum is pretty much me going to an internship for the last 2 hours of school everyday.</p>

<p>My low GPA comes from me slacking off hardcore in Sophomore year (I had a 3.56 GPA). I got hooked on a computer game and yeah.. pretty much wasted this whole year. Heh.. don't ask me how, it's more than possible.</p>

<p>Can i get an evaluation along with some advice, please? thanks</p>

<p>I totally sympathize with the dangers of computer games. I've lost my soul to them on more than one occasion.</p>

<p>Anywho...</p>

<p>Your scores are awesome and you have taken on a VERY rigorous courseload. You also have an internship, which is a nice thing that most people can't say they have. Your awards also help to distinguish you, and your involvement in a varsity sport rounds you out nicely. I would say:</p>

<p>Cornell - Reach, though not a huge one
Wash U St. Louis - Match
Duke - Match/Reach
U of Southern Cali - Match
NYU - Match
U of Maryland: College Park - Safety
U of Michigan - Match/Safety
Northwestern - Reach
Johns Hopkins - Match/Reach</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, what do you think your reaches are?</p>

4

<p>The OP is out of state for Michigan so it is not a safety.</p>

5

<p>scabooter is nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

6

<p>Cornell - Reach, though not a huge one
Wash U St. Louis - slight reach
Duke - Reach
U of Southern Cali - Match
NYU - Match
U of Maryland: College Park - Safety
U of Michigan - Match
Northwestern - slight reach
Johns Hopkins - reach/slight reach</p>

<p>u got a good shot :D</p>

7

<p>You have relatively low GPA, average SATs and not impressive AP scores. All of these will cost you unfortunately.</p>

<p>Cornell - very slim chance
Wash U St. Louis - slim chance
Duke - very slim chance
U of Southern Cali - good chance
NYU - good chance
U of Maryland: College Park -in
U of Michigan - decent chance
Northwestern - slim chance
Johns Hopkins - slim chance</p>

8

<p>are my chances really that bleak? slim chances at northwestern and hopkins?</p>

9

<p>rd pool for nu, jhu, cornell are competitive...if you had applied ed it would have been a different story anyhow gl!</p>

10
