<p>so i am a average student with GPA of 3.95 +-.01 weighted have mostly As some Bs and a C in trig.
sat score 1880.
sat2 score math:800 Chinese:800
ap: calculusAB:5, APUSH:4, Computer Science:4, Japanese:4</p>
<p>as you can see my test score is not that great especially for a Chinese student, but i have very interesting life experience, when i was 8 my parents moved to japan, at the time i didn't know a single word of Japanese, 3 and a half years later right after i learned to understand and speak Japanese, my parents told me that we are moving to US. at the time i didn't even know alphabets because the foreign language education wouldn't start until 7th grade in japan. so i moved to us and got put in a falling school then later through my effort i moved to one of the best school in the district. when i first moved here neither of my parents spoke English either so i had to learn everything on my own and handle all the problems on my own. </p>
<p>i am interested in engineering. i would love to go to the top 20 schools but i feel they will simply dismiss me because of my grade. wat are some the school with good engineering program that will most likely consider me?</p>
