<p>I am interested in studying electrical or mechanical engineering and was hoping to get some feedback on my chances at various schools like Harvey mudd, Rice, and Carnegie Mellon.</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>ACT: 34
SAT II: math 2 (770) Chemistry (800)
currently my overall gpa is a 3.4 but it has been going up and was a 3.75 junior year.
-while I did have a lower gpa freshman year for the most part I have suffered from quite
bad learning disabilities through middle school and the beginning of high school.
-I go to an small private school (ranked in the top 40 in the country) that does not class rank or weight GPAs.
-I have taken honors classes and ap classes (4 this year).
5 ap chemistry
5 ap macro
4 ap micro
-I am the head of my schools engineering team of 20 this year and was leader of the electronics group least year. (spend about 15 hours a week)
-I play have played on the varsity tennis team but because of wrist injury I now play ultimate frisbee.
-I have over 60 hours of community service

<p>How much math have you taken?</p>

3

<p>5 math classes in all of high school</p>

<p>What was the highest level math class? </p>

<p>Judging from your GPA I would say your best chance is at CMU (Reach). It doesn’t seem to care as much about class rank & GPA. It is more about rigor and good standardized test scores. My feeling is, Rice & Mudd are a little more hung up on class rank and GPA etc, so your chances might not be as good with them.</p>

<p>Yeah cmu would be your best bet!
Maybe William and Mary?</p>

<p>Mudd loves quadcopters. Your GPA is your weakest point, but that is easily explained by the learning disabilities you struggled through. Engineering team is a big deal. You have a solid chance at CMU and Mudd, both schools I got into. I’m not certain on what rice is looking for.</p>

<p>CMU does not factor in freshman grades. If you are an upward trend, this would help.</p>
