Hi everyone, this is my first post and I was wondering whether someone familiar with Carnegie Mellon’s engineering program could tell me my chances of being accepted. I am also interested in Lehigh University, Drexel, Stevens Inst of Tech, and Bucknell for mechanical engineering.

My scores are:
3.7 GPA UW 6.2 W (on scale of 7)
2170 SAT (720 CR, 720 M, 730 W)
4 on AP Chem
710 Chem SAT II

Classes:
I take mostly Honors and APs (the only class I don’t take as Honors is english…)
As of now I have only taken 1 AP (Chem) but senior year I plan on taking Calc AP, Econ AP, Latin AP, and Physics AP.

Extra Curriculars:
Marching Band (leader)
Jazz Band (leader)
Small Group Jazz Band
Lab Band
Symphony Orchestra
Pit Orchestra
Cum Laude Society
Programming Club (leader)
Research in Science
Robotics Club (tournament winner)

I also have won several awards from the Leonardo DaVinci society, the Air Force, UPenn, a scholarship from a county college, and first place in Computer Science at local and regional science fairs for my projects.

I work as a professional musician for a local theater company and as a private tutor for programming.
