<p>I'm currently a junior looking into a couple of engineering schools right now and I was wondering what some of you guys thought about my resume...</p>
<p>Colleges looking in to: Carnegie Mellon, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, University of Michigan, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Rutgers (its in order of difficulty/desire to go there as far as I think with RPI as my "would like to go there and think I can go there") </p>
<p>General Background: New Jersey, Male, Indian. School is beginning to suck but it still retains a good reputation among colleges. (We always get a good number of students into Ivy League schools) </p>
<p>Academics: (My School Uses) Weighted GPA- 3.9/4.0 Unweighted is probably a 3.3
Rank - unsure, at least top 25%
I take the hardest classes my school has to offer including
-5 years of sciences (1 of honors chem, bio and earth science, and 2 of physics AP),
-5 years of math (Algebra II, Geometry, Pre Calc Honors, AB Calc, and AP Stat)
- 2 Years of technology courses including Transportation Technology, Tech and Design, and Robotics
-and also 4 years of history and English both AP. (the only thing I don't take honors/AP of is Spanish)</p>
<p>SAT Scores- 700 math, 670 in Reading and 680 in Writing
I haven't taken my Sat II's or AP tests yet but they will include:
Math II Sat, History Sat, English literacy SAT
AP tests will be: AP English, AP US History, AP Calc, AP Stat, AP Econ Macro/Micro, AP Physics, </p>

9. Nominated from my School to attend Governor's School of International Studies</p>
<p>And I don't know if it means anything to say that I've lived overseas in India and have traveled to over 20 countries mostly in Africa. Idk I just feel like this has given me some worldly experience.</p>
<p>So tell me what you think I'm particularly interested to hear what anyone has to say about RPI because I'm kind of basing myself around that school's stats. btw I intend to interview there too</p>
