<p>Essays: thought they were pretty awesome (my writing score really doesn't reflect this) I'm acutally good if I have time to sit and write.

<p>Schools:</p>

<p>Georgia Tech

<p>...and yes I realize the last three are basically impossible....</p>

<p>Thanks! (and really sorry for the length)</p>

<p>thats a good ACT score, i say ur VERY good for georgia and michigan.....</p>

<p>the college admissions dont care whether u were sick on the day of ur test or not (i know, theyre a bunch of careless @$$holes). i dont know about the last 3, but still i say its worth a shot......... good luck with everything</p>

3

<p>thanks =) any more?</p>

4

<p>In at GT and UMAA. Not sure about the other ones, but if you had phenominal essays (in their eyes), then you should be good.</p>

5

<p>thanks. bump....</p>

6

<p>bump? 10 char</p>

<p>UMIch and GTech seem good. Maybe you should just send in ACT scores? It's really good. Tech definitely wants some white females in their school these days.</p>

<p>.. you built a robot to organize your closet? Can I buy one, haha.</p>

8

<p>sure.....for a price. hahaha</p>

<p>as a female interested in engineering with that impressive a list of EC's and ACT score and rank, I'd say you have a pretty good chance at mit and caltech, imo. ga tech and michigan are shoo-ins. Stanford - no one can really say about them - reach i guess.</p>

10

<p>The only weakness I can see on your app is that your math scores are kind of low for MIT and Caltech, but not completely out of their range.</p>

11

<p>^^ yeah.... tend to make stupid mistakes when it comes to the math stuff...</p>

12

<p>I do the same thing. But I think the robot thing is really cool and definitely shows your interest in engineering!</p>

13

<p>ur white...ur a girl...i read the first couple lines and say you're in at MIT</p>

14

<p>i agree with phonyreal98. did u happen to write an essay on that? it would probably make your application stand out if u wrote it right.</p>

15

<p>yes i did =) The only one I didn't for was Stanford because there was no room on the app... but I think I'll send it in seperately.</p>

16

<p>then all i can say is good luck! i dont think you'll need it. people forget that there are such things as definite admit piles</p>

17

<p>really? I was under the impression that admissions were more of a guessing game these days....</p>

18

<p>I think you're in at GTech and UMich. The other ones are obviously crapshoots for almost everyone. But since you're a chick goin' for engineering...your chances may be higher. Good luck!</p>

<p>thank you =)</p>
