Hello, I would really appreciate someone’s help who was accepted to these schools or has children who were. I am about to be a senior at a very competitive high school ranked 63rd in the nation and top 0.5%.
Listed below are the schools I am interested in applying to but I’m not sure if I can get in as a comp sci/business major.
UTD (I believe I’ll get in)
Texas A&M (I believe I’ll get in)
UT (Not sure if I’ll in)
UCLA (No idea if I’ll get in)
UC Berkeley
Univ of Michigan
Univ of Virginia
UNC-Chapel Hill
UPenn (Reach but it would be a dream come true to get in)
Carnegie Mellon (Reach)
Washington Univ in St. Louis (Reach)
About me:
Ranked top 17% of school
SAT: 1530 (math + reading)
2260 (M+R+W) essay: 10
ACT: Have not taken yet
National Merit Commended
President of DECA and state finalist 2x

HOSA officer

I have taken all PreAP/ AP classes available up til now and have received mostly A’s. But because I go to such a competitive school it is hard to increase my rank considerably. Also, I’m not good at writing essays is there anything I can do to strengthen my application?
Would subject tests help?
All help is extremely appreciated.
