<p>You haven’t provided enough info. AP tests? Subject Tests? and your ECs/GPA aren’t great. However, you do have a chance.</p>

<p>I have edited my stats. Bump, please, and thank you.</p>

<p>Okay, you are good and you should be proud of yourself. The only concerns are with you ECs. You don’t have any activities that showcase your passion. You want to be an engineer? Get an internship at NASA, shadow a mechanical engineer, do stuff that conveys your true passion. Also what was the amazing project that you did?</p>

<p>M.I.T - Reach
You have the test scores for it, but no AP physics, and no 5 for math APs doesn’t look too fantastic. It’s far from impossible for you to get in; your awards are good and your extracurriculars aren’t bad, and your schedule is impressive. The only reason it’s a reach is because, honestly, M.I.T. is a reach for anybody who applies.</p>

<p>Cornell - Reach/Target
I’d bet that you’ll get in, but your extracurriculars are a bit weak for an Ivy. Shine in your essays.</p>

<p>Tufts - Reach/Target
It’s a lower reach or a higher target. Good chance you’ll get in, but make sure that you nail interviews, essays, etc.</p>

<p>Boston College - Target
It’s safe to say that you’d get in with scholarship. A friend of mine with lower academic qualifications than yours was accepted with a chance at a half-tuition scholarship. Her extracurriculars were significantly better, but I think your awards might balance that out.</p>

<p>Overall, you’re a remarkably strong applicant. You should be able to choose wherever you want to go to college, but things don’t work out like that, especially when you’re being compared to the best of the best. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Good Scores and Gpa, but try and work on ECs or make something you did stand out and give you a “wow” factor. </p>
