I’ve already applied everywhere, just curious about how you guys think things will turn out. The schools I’ve applied to are:

Cornell arts and sciences (early decision)
Carnegie mellon college of science (regular, but if I don’t get in to Cornell I’ll apply EDII)
University of Rochester
Colgate

I plan on majoring in computer

I’m a white, upper-middle class male from Albany. I attend the most well-renowned high school in the area, so my class is fairly competitive.

4.0 uw gap; school doesn’t weight
Top 10% of class of 350; school only does deciles, but my counselor told me I’m in the top 5% of my class as well
ACT - 35 (35 math and reading; 34 science and english; 7 essay)
SAT 2’s - 800 chemistry, 800 math 2, 780 us history, 770 physics
AP’s - 5 computer science, 5 physics b, 5 chemistry, 5 art history, 4 euro history
Senior year course load - ap calculus bc, ap physics c (e&m and mechanics), ap economics (macro and micro), ap literature, standard intro to government class

EC’s:
math team president
yearbook editor
helped out with computer science research (paid) at RPI over the summer, currently writing report on what I did
class treasurer
~75 hours hospital volunteering over the last year and a half

Thanks for your time!
