Senior schedule is "rigorous." You know, the AP and honors classes we take in our high school lives.

Received the RPI medal.

So yeah, my application is kind of lackluster. You think it would be a waste to ED to Penn SEAS? Should I go elsewhere like cornell or carnegie mellon? Any help from you guys would be really nice.

Maybe try EA to MIT instead of ED? and see what other schools have EA as well that arent restrictive

theworriedguy

MIT is a "little" out of my league haha...

What AP's are you taking senior year?

If those are strong, I'd say it'd all depend on how good your essays are now

theworriedguy

Taking AP Statistics, AP Gov & Pol, AP Biology, and AP Business & Org Management...rest of my classes are honors if that makes any difference.

^ AP Business & Org Management? Such a class exists?

theworriedguy

o im sorry. Its AP weighted...it doesnt have an ap test. its a class that our school has because we have to take certain types of classes in order to graduate.

Cornell ED for engineering would be more competitive.

You're a good science student, but you do realize that you do not have that much of an "engineering' profile?

And if you're serious about engineering..you do know that there are at least 10 colleges better for engineering, right?

overall, I'd say that you have a decent shot at UPEN SEAS ED.

But what do I know? I'm probably saying what you already know.
Good luck.

If you are thinking about applying for biomedical engineering, Penn's program is one of the best, I think it's tied with Stanford.

theworriedguy

Ya I'm applying for a biomedical engineering major..
@poeme: I did two engineering programs... One at the whitehead institute and another at Robert wood Johnson. Just forgot to type it in haha.
