I know of a black kid who got a 29 and got into Vanderbilt, and not being racist at all, there are incredibly few students of color in the engineering fields. I have to agree with some of the earlier comments that you are going to be pretty much accepted to ALL of those schools.

Wow ok not to be racist but since you're black and have this outstanding profile I'd be surprised if you were rejected from anywhere but Harvard (cause it's admission process is so secretive and weird).

fongle, Congratulations on your admissions success. My S is a current freshman mechanical engineering major at UC Berkeley. He got a paid, fulltime position interning this summer for an Orange County CA company that liked the fact that he was an engineering major at Cal.
You made a good decision.

If you're poor enough then you'll get good aid.

are these all of the places you're applying? or are you applying to more? because these are great stats, and you have a good shot at all of them. in fact, i'd cut 5-7 off your list, so you can save up that money from application fees for when you get to college.

I don't know how tough your school or teacher is, but I think a family emergency is a viable excuse. And your community service is a major hole in your resume.

With the scores you have it sounds needy to mention your race, be proud of your scores, they are unbelievable, but don't be proud because you got them "despite your race"
