Stats:
SAT: 1120 (610m; 510v)
GPA: ~3.4
Essay: Very good (IMO)
Two awesome recommendations
a few ECs–no sports, mainly jobs, hobbies, things I like to do in my spare time
Rank: 63/170 (HS dropped ranking because everybody is so close when it comes to GPA that #1 and #20 may be different by only about .001 of a GPA point, which is not fair if you’re #20 because it makes you look bad, even though you’re doing very well).
APs: Total of 4 (CalcAB, US History, Chem, and Physics B)
Race: white, middle class

Intended major: Computer Engineering

All applications = early action

Rochester Institute of Technology (Early Decision) #1 choice, w00t.
SUNY - Stony Brook
George Mason University

a few other safties

Rejected:
Providence College (couldn’t care less about this school because they don’t have a strong Computer Engineering program).

Why did I apply to so many? Well, my dad was the one who wanted me to do several because he was scared that I may not get into any college. I had a strong feeling I would get accepted to all of them–well what do you know! Accepted to all but one.

Getting accepted is the easy part. The hard part is actually doing the work and being successful!
