<p>Tennis (most likely captain next year, not playing in college though)
I plan on doing FIRST robotics next year. I did some last year, and none this year.
I also plan on doing some sort of leadership activity such as teaching elementary school kids various basics about computers in order to get into National Honor Society.
This would also mean I would probably accumulate over 100 hours of community service.</p>

<p>

thank you but…</p>

<p>UMass Amherst != Amherst College
UMass is Massachusetts state university. (discount for living in new england)
UConn is my safety school.</p>

<p>I was under the impression that Stevens and Worcester are pretty much the same? What are the differences?</p>

<p>What other colleges would be good for me? (Computer Science or Electrical Engineering most likely)</p>

6

<p>Also, can I get into the Steven’s Institute Summer Program or the Worcester Polytech ‘Frontier’s’ Program?</p>

<p>Sorry for triple post, but I found out that I’m 19th/330. Well atleast the end of last year, so probably like 20 or 21.</p>

<p>I’m happy. :)</p>

8

<p>Also, what about Rose-Hulman. Cooper Union and University of Virginia?</p>

<p>Hey, I’m from CT too (Fairfield County area). Ratings are using your estimate of M: 700, CR: 600 and are on a scale of: high reach, semi-reach, good fit, likely, safety.</p>

<p>Carnegie-Mellon… REACH.
Rensselaer Polytech… GOOD FIT.
Worcester Polytech… GOOD FIT.
Steven’s Institute… GOOD FIT.
Northeastern… GOOD FIT.
UMass-Amherst… LIKELY.
UConn… SAFETY.
Rose-Hulman… GOOD FIT.
University of Virginia… SEMI-REACH.</p>
