I will be applying to several schools this fall. My list goes as follows:

Reach: Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, University of Michigan
Target: Boston University
Safety: SUNY Stony Brook, Rochester Institute of Technology

I plan to major in engineering. Not sure which branch though (mechanical, chemical, electrical, etc).

My stats:
SAT - 1960 (CR-690, M-630, W-640)
I will be Retaking SAT later this month, and taking the Math II and Chemistry subject tests in November.
GPA - 92 (My school doesn’t do the 4.0 scale)
Class Rank - 6 / 52
I am loading up on hard courses this year, including a number of college credit courses.

EC’s (They suck, I know)
1 - Plenty of employment throughout high school (mostly food service)
2 - On the Envirothon team - went to states last year
3 - Occasional Volunteer Work (100-200 hours)
4 - Treasurer of the FBLA team
5 - Played soccer 9th and 10th
6 - Helped organize, and participated in a male beauty pageant held in my school.
7 - In the National Honor Society

My essays will be quite good, because I am a very good writer.

I think my chances for Cornell will be helped somewhat by the fact that both my parents went there. Thats actually where they met. So that has to count for something.
