<p>I'm currently a junior in high school and I am looking to go to a good engineering school such as Rice Berkeley CMU etc. and I was wondering if anyone could think of something they wish they could go back and do to help get into a good program.</p>

<p>I will be graduating with Calc 3 from my school and probably some classes from a college which could be transferable. I've taken computer science and will probably learn bother language on my own. I do several sports and sports related extra curriculars and will be an Eagle Scout soon. I was wondering if I should get an internship or learn something else or do something else before I get closer to applying to colleges. I have some time left and I feel like I am not doing enough and I should be doing something else. If anyone could think of something I could do with my time since I have nothing else productive to do and would help me thanks.</p>

<p>I wish I had done an internship, or even an independent study. If you plan on taking some college classes nearby, that could also be a good opportuni9ty to ask about possible research or independent study mentorship, which would certainly make you stand out from other college applications.</p>

<p>Anyone have any ideas what I could do for extra curriculars or other things I could do which may help me come college applications?</p>

<p>Let me tell you the top 4 secrets to get into the top engineering school:</p>

<p>1) Grades, especially Math and Science (B = bad), AP Classes!
2) Top SAT (2200+ with 750+ in Math)
3) Great EC or work experience that is associated with engineering/science.<br>
4) I think I will keep that to myself… PM me if you want to know.</p>
