Hey guys,

I am a junior in high school and I am out of state.

I took the SAT for the first time on December 5th, and although I was slightly disappointed with my scores; I feel as if they were decent for having absolutely no preparation at all.

Here are my stats:

580 Critical Reading
530 Math
570 Writing

GPA - 3.98
Class rank - Top 25% (This is an estimate; I may be higher)

I am in the International Baccalaureate program at my school which is the equivalent of AP classes except for Pre Calc Honors and French 3 Honors. I hope to obtain an IB Diploma at the end of my senior year.

Extra Curricular - I play on the varsity soccer team and I am involved in a few clubs (Not an officer of any club due to soccer). Additionally, I am in the National Honor Society at my school.

I just wanted some honest outside input as to my chances of being admitted into the first year engineering program.

I am taking the ACT in February and plan to get a tutor to help me with the math. Also, I plan to take the SAT at least 2 more times.

Any advice given is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
