<h2>I will be applying as an engineering student at these schools:</h2>

<p>*University of Washington</p>

<p>*Georgia Tech</p>

<p>*Cornell University</p>

<p>*Carnegie Mellon University</p>

<h2>*University of California, Berkeley</h2>

<p>My overall GPA: 3.7</p>

<h2>My GPA for this year: 3.9</h2>

<p>Sat total: 2020</p>

<p>math: 690
reading: 670</p>

<h2>writing: 660</h2>

<p>subject tests</p>

<p>physics: 750
math:650 (i will retake it)</p>

<hr>

<p>extra curriculars: I was in my school’s robotics club for my freshman and sophomore years. I was an academic coach last year, and will be my senior year. </p>

<hr>

<p>running start: I currently take all but one of my classes at a local community college as a college level alternative to high school, which is funded by Washington state. I take a full courseload at the community college, and take Japanese 3 at my high school. I plan to take Japanese AP in highschool next year. My community college average GPA from this year is 3.95, but my Japanese grade is around a 3.6, which brings my total grade down a bit. </p>

<p>Instead of the standard senior social studies and English classes offered at highschool, i took English 102 and Macroeconomics.</p>

<p>How are my odds of getting into any of these schools? Will running start be a disadvantage?</p>

<p>Cornell University seems like high reach for you, they accept students with 2100 scores and up. But the rest I think you’ll have a good chance. The work you’ve done at the community college shows that you can take more rigorous courses than the ones offered at you high school which is a big check mark for top colleges.</p>

<p>I’m planning to apply early decision for Cornell, because i know my chances are pretty low. How am i standing for Berkeley?</p>

<p>CMU and Berkeley are both reaches at the moment. I would recommend you retake the SAT and get 2100+.</p>
