<p>***These are my 1st quarter grades, 2nd quarter is just about the same so far.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, my school (although it is THE top school in the state, does not offer good computer classes. They even discontinued all programming classes, that angered me greatly).</p>
<p>Intended major: Computer Engineering
Second choice: Computer Science
Third Choice: Software Engineering</p>
<p>Extracurricular activities: a bunch of miscellaneous hobbies, I'm not going to list them all here. The most notable thing is being the founder of a Programming club as a result to the school discontinuing all programming courses.</p>
<p>GPA (as of end of junior year): 4.0688 / 5.0 (3.25 / 4.0)</p>
<p>Class rank (thankfully the school just decided to abolish it this year!): 63/170 about top 37%.</p>
<p>SAT I: 610 m / 510 v (1120 total)
AP US History: 1 (I thought I did really well, but the score is a 1 most likely because I was probably retarded enough to select the wrong test in the bubble, I need to get my test regraded if it's even possible).</p>
<p>You may think I'm not doing that great, but you know what? I do not care because in the end, I win! Not to mention the fact that my HS is THE top HS in the state, where the GPAs are so close together that a difference of .1 can make the difference between being number 20 and number 60.</p>
<p>I also applied to RIT for early decision, which puts me in a separate pool of applicants, a pool that makes me more likely to be accepted. In addition, my senior year course load gives me an advantage. I also had an interview with an admissions counselor. In addition, this college looks most heavily on the transcript.</p>
<p>Alright, enough of this nonsense! What do you guys think?</p>
<p>My guess is you guys are going to be the typical people here and say "OMFG, I don't know how you live with yourself with an 1120 SAT score" Recently I saw some kid getting angry over a 1590.</p>
<p>Any normal people here?</p>
<p>Given the fact that RIT is nothing like MIT (even through it strives to be more like MIT--with the exception of insanely high test scores), and that RIT's acceptance rate for regular admissions is 69% and 76% for early decision, I think I have a good chance of being accepted. I am borderline (but leaning more towards being accepted), but I am by no means automatically denied (contrary to what most of you think).</p>
