Chance a Puerto-Rican American for STEM!

Chance Me / Match Me

<p>I want to major in chemical engineering and/or be premed. The list of schools I’m interested in are at the bottom. Yes, this is a cross post from an earlier thread, but this is in a different avenue.</p>

<p>Numbers and such:
GPA: 4.0 UW/4.6ish W (My school in Florida is a feeder school to UF, but we send a handful of kids to really good schools like Stanford and Princeton yearly.)
ACT: 34 (30 English, 34 Reading, 34 Math, 36 Science, 31 English/Writing with 11 Essay)
SAT: 2190 (760 CR, 710 Math, 720 Writing with 10 Essay)
SAT II: 740 Bio M, 760 US History, 750 Chem, 750 Math II
AP: Bio (5), US History (4), English Language (5), Chemistry (5), Euro (5)</p>

<p>Rank: My school doesn’t do rankings, but I am in the top 8 students (probably top 3) in my class. The way I know is that every year my school picks the top 8 students from the junior class to participate in the graduation ceremonies of the seniors, and I was one of these students. This and its significance will be noted on my transcript by the school. </p>

<p>Race/Ethnicity: Puerto-Rican</p>

<p>Schedules:
Freshman: AP Biology, English 9 Honors, Geometry Honors, Spanish II Honors, World History Honors, Debate honors</p>

<p>Sophomore: AP US History, Chemistry Honors, English 10 Honors, Spanish III Honors, Algebra II Honors, Computer Programming Honors, Debate Honors</p>

<p>Junior: AP Chemistry (hardest class our school offers; those handful of kids that our school sends to Stanford, Princeton, UPenn, etc. pretty much all take this class at some point in their high school career. Its teacher is writing one of my recs. Serious business), AP Euro, AP English Language, Spanish IV Honors, Pre-Calculus Honors, electives</p>

<p>Senior: AP English Literature and Composition, AP Calculus AB, AP Spanish Language, AP Macroeconomics, AP Microeconomics, Physics Honors, AP Computer Science A, Humanities, History of the Motion Picture (required credit and filler)</p>

<p>Not going to go in specifics, but you have a good chance at every highly selective school on your list (princeton, upenn, stanford rice, cornell and Wash U) and I personally think you will get into rice and probably cornell.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice! I would chance back (based on my limited knowledge) but you don’t need that apparently lol.</p>

<p>List looks good to me, with a good mix of reaches (Stanford, Princeton), matches (Cornell, Tufts, Rice, Penn, WUSTL), and safeties (UF, UD, UT, Bucknell, Lafayette, Lehigh, Stevens). Wise to include a financial safety (UF).</p>
