I guess I’ll start with the decisions I’ve already gotten. MIT, Michigan, and Case Western I got deferred EA. Georgia Tech rejected me. SUNY Buffalo and Stony Brook (instate) accepted me with scholarships. The schools I have yet to hear from are as follows:

Reaches:

-MIT
-Michigan
-Stanford
-USC
-Rice
-Northwestern
-CMU

Matches:

-Northeastern
-Rochester
-Case Western
-McGill (no idea where to categorize this, I’m an American applying for A&S if that helps)

Safeties:

-Syracuse
-SUNY Binghamton

Now for my stats. I’ll start with the objective:

SAT: 1570 (780 M/790 V)
SAT II: 800 Physics and Chem, 790 US, 730 Math II
GPA: 97/100 UW. Pretty sure that’s a 4.0.
Course rigor: high. 7 AP’s, 6 DE’s, the rest honors. Senior grades are good
Demographics: white male, no hooks
Major: CS (where applicable, secondary is math, tertiary is physics)

Now the subjective:

EC’s: they are as follows. In parentheses is the grades I did them in. No leadership or accomplishments unless otherwise noted.

-Math Team (11-12)
-Mock Trial (11-12), Vice President, qualified for regionals (by default but still qualified)
-Spanish National Honor Society (10-12)
-GenYES (9): technology club, got cancelled freshman year

Work Experience:

Summer Camp (summer after 8th to the summer after 11th): worked the first two summers as a volunteer, the second two as a paid counselor.

Essays: hard to judge so let’s just say poor to moderate in quality

Recs: ditto

Thanks in advance for the answers
