I am currently a junior and I’m interested in aerospace engineering. Here are my stats.

I went to a top notch private school during my first two years of high school, and had an 86.3 average there, which is considered good, considering kids with 90 averages got into HYP. I have now transferred into a public school and have a 3.8 GPA (old school didn’t do gpa’s). I have taken several practice SAT’s under simulated conditions and have received scores ranging from 1900-2100 (hopefully will improve for the real thing). Will my bad average during my first two years screw my chances up for RPI, COrnell, UMich, and GA Tech?

EC’s :

**AP’s/B
AP US
AP English
I will be taking AP Calc BC, AP Physics C, AP Stats, AP English 12, and AP Chem during my senior year.

**Honors Classes/B ( no other honors offered at my school except pre-calc and AP’s)
Chemistry (messed up in chem and got an 83)
Spanish 2
Algebra II/ Trig (did bad on the final and ended up getting an 88)
Pre-Calculus (currently at a 96 )

So considering my grades at my private school during freshman and sophomore year, what are my chances at RPI,Cornell,UMich, GA Tech? Thanks!
