<p>AP: Chemistry (3) Statistics (3)</p>

<p>Service hours: 140, half of which were spent working at the Planetary Society in Pasadena.</p>

<p>I also took Geometry at a community college the summer after freshmen year if that helps at all</p>

<p>ECs: </p>

<ul>
<li>COSMOS summer research program in Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering at UCI.</li>
<li>Eagle Scout</li>
<li>Recently got my open water scuba diving certification</li>
<li>Volunteering at the Planetary Society and working with some of the Caltech staff there.</li>

<p>You would need to raise your SATs at least 200 points to get u within THAT range, as for your GPA I really do not know how to comment on that it should be much higher, especially if you have only taken 3 AP exams. And as for THOSE AP exams they seem rather iffy considering a majority of the Mudd student body has or could have gotten 5s. </p>

<p>However, your ECs looks pretty cool. Although I cannot say for sure, starting your own business at the age of 14 seems amazing to me, as well as some of the researchy stuff you have done.</p>

<p>Overall I would say: Raise your SATs to at least 2150 (pref 750M, 700V, 700W) and do 750+ in your SATIIs. With that, apply early decision and you might stand a shot if you have really sold letters or rec. </p>

<p>Thats really all i can say with ur GPA</p>
