<p>ANy idea where I would be</p>

2

<p>You should get into UMich.</p>

3

<p>Any ideas on others?</p>

4

<p>have you looked into Brown and Carnegie Mellon? heard they have excellent computer science opportunities</p>

5

<p>I heard! But didn’t look in too much… probably because I was always into Ivys + MIT when I was in middle school… my scope kinda narrowed… but true… I will look into them. Heck Brown is ivy!</p>

6

<p>urgh brown, think penn</p>

7

<p>I’m still trying to concentrate on Caltech… do I have any chance on that – it is my dream school (along with MIT and Harvard… but I really like Caltech a lot)</p>

8

<p>is Caltech your dream school? How are your SAts?</p>

9

<p>Might look at Duke.</p>

<p>hey espiesior</p>

<p>Your stats look pretty good. Id focus maybe on a couple of EC’s that i feel are my strongest. schools rather see 2 or 3 really strong ec’s then say 20. I’d say apply to Penn since Im a little biased (3rd year @ Penn). Do you know what you want to study? I see you do alot of stuff (with what you listed) but is there anything your really passionate about? Id really focus on that.</p>

<p>Hey! Thanks for replying… my greatest hobby has always been related to computers, technology, physics, and biology. I was really interested in Duke a couple of years back, but my guidance counselor said it would be harder to get into in her experience with a previous student who well exceeded me – she recommended CalTech actually – from looking at stuff I do. I didn’t take SAT yet… but I’ll take it over next two months!</p>
