<p>So I was wondering what my chances were for Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering.</p>
<p>GPA: 10.4 (on a 12 point scale, works out to about a 3.8 according to this <a href="http://i.imgur.com/BqUWJ.png%5B/url%5D">http://i.imgur.com/BqUWJ.png</a>). That is weighted for AP's extra. Essentially I've always made A's/A-'s in Math, Science, Debate, Tech and then B+/A- over the years in my History and English classes. Also notable is I go to a small prestigious private school so the classes are /hard/ They don't tell us our exact rankings but I know I'm top 25% out of a class of 100ish (a little more probably like 120).</p>
<p>Exact Class schedule:
Freshman:
Geometry Honors, Biology Honors, Tech Theater, Debate, English I, Latin II, Required School Service. (All A's except maybe a B+ in English, can't find my stupid transcript).
Sports: JV Volleyball, Cardio</p>
<p>Sophomore:
Alg II/Trig Honors, Chem Honors, Tech, Debate, English II, Latin III, World Civ. (B+ in alg 2, maybe one in World Civ but unsure. Tell me if you need exact and I'll find it)
Sports: JV Volleyball, Dodgeball (yeah our school has it)</p>
<p>Junior:
Pre-Cal Honors, Physics Honors, Debate, Tech, English III, CL Latin IV, APUSH. (B+ in APUSH and English III)
Sports: JV Volleyball</p>
<p>Senior Planned Schedule:
BC Calc, AP Stat, AP Physics, English Rebels and Outcast (a regular course), Tech, Debate (1st semester) Econ (2nd Semester).
Sports: ??? Need one credit, probably ultimate frisbee</p>
<p>ACT: Composite: 33 - 35 Math, 35 Science, 33 Reading, 27 English (retaking to bring English up, my SAT was crap)</p>
<p>AP's:
Fresh-None
Soph-None
Junior-APUSH (Took eng lang AP, though our course doesn't give AP credit) and CL Latin (college level that is)
Senior-Planning on AP Physics, BC Calc, AP Stat, and Econ (non-AP but take the AP exam for macro iirc)</p>
<p>EC wise:
Now a senior moderator on a large forum that has 17,000 members with hundreds of those being active daily (been a mod for 3 years).
Minor Volunteering Freshman/Sophomore year. More volunteering (2 hours a week, plus a mission trip) Junior year and this summer doing around 10 hours a week.
Debate (It's a class at my school, but this also takes up many Fridays and saturdays, hence the lack of other activities. Also Senior year I'll be treasurer for the team)
Tech (Also a class, but the shows are entirely student crewed and take 5-6 hours a day during production week with 3-4 shows I'm involved in a year.)
Clubs: None... again due to so much time already taken</p>
<p>I've been in contact with one Olin student who said after the A-/B+ range and 700+ on the SAT it's more about what you can bring to Olin and why you want to go there. Which for me would probably be my Tech skills and debate (research, fast speaking, seeing different sides of arguments) and I want to go there because it's about the same size as my current school which I love for it's small classes and it's program is one of a kind and a unique hands on approach which I love.</p>
<p>Umm any other info y'all might need?
I'm a white male from Houston Texas.... Ummm not sure what else...</p>
<p>(Side note, through naviance our school has the average GPA/Test Scores of previously accepted students and carnegie mellon which is on par with Olin it seems our school has an average of a 10.5 GPA and 30 ACT, whereas mine is 10.4 and 33)</p>
<p>Edit: Wish it was like the forum I frequent and you could edit the title. While I prefer comments on Olin, if you have the time/feel like being extra nice will you respond to my chances (as in High reach, reach, match, etc.) on the following as well or suggest a school you think I would be a good fit for. I'm highly interested in the engineering schools/programs.</p>

U of St. Louis
Washington U at St. Louis
U of Notre Dame
Colorado School of Mines
Purdue
Villanova
Carnegie Mellon </p>
<p>Thanks for any responses! I appreciate y'alls help as I nervously go into my senior year.</p>
