Where can my 36 take me? (Unique situation)

<p>Here’s the problem: my gpa is a 3.72 (3.2 9th grade, 3.8 10th, 4.0 11th)
I have above average EC’s, plenty of AP’s, and some fantastic jobs and internships, but I don’t know how much my gpa will hurt me in the admissions process.</p>

<p>Do I have a legitimate shot at top 10/20 engineering schools?
Umich/Stanford/CMU/Harvey Mudd/CalTech/Princeton/Cornell, etc…</p>

<p>Please Help!</p>

<p>Several of the schools you mentioned above (CMU, Stanford) completely ignore your Freshman year, so this means that with your sophomore and junior year alone, you would have a 3.9, which is pretty decent.</p>
