I was wondering what anyone though my chances were of getting into the biomedical engineering programs at the following colleges: Duke, Georgia Tech, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Penn, and Carnegie-Mellon (Computer Engineering).

I have a 1420 (720 Math, 700 Verbal), Molecular Biology 800, Math IIc 790, US History 760, Writing 750. I’m currently Valedictorian in my class of 196. I got 5s on the AP Biology and AP US History exams and I am taking the AP Calculus AB, Psychology, Computer Science AB, Chemistry, and English Literature exams this year. Also, I won the Honorary Science Award from the University of Rochester and Bausch and Loam.

For extracurriculars, I play the piano and I am a working on my Eagle Scout award in Boy Scouts. I have already finished my Eagle Scout service project. I am also in NHS, Peer Education, treasurer of the Key Club, Computer club, and Cross Country. Also, I am in charge of organizing Jimmy Fund volunteers at a local theater during the summer.

I also started working at a small biotech company doing biology-type work this year and over the summer I worked at a tutoring center.

Thanks for your help.

sounds like you have a great shot at all of them. While your SAT I is modest for Duke, Johns Hopkins & Penn, your SAT II scores look better. The fact that you're ranked #1 in your class will help you.

Dude, you are Valedictorian. You have great SAT IIs and excellent ECs. You should also look at:

Cal-Berkeley (computer engineering)
Cornell (computer engineering)
Michigan-Ann Arbor (computer and biomedical engineering)
MIT (computer and biomedical engineering)
Stanford (Computer and biomedical engineering)
UCSD (biomedical engineering).
