<p>I have a 2200 on my SAT 1: 790 Math, 710 Critical, 700 Writing and I have taken two subject tests, 790 on both math and biology. I intend to retake the SAT on October and can hopefully imrprove on my SAT. For grades I have a 3.7ish unweighted and 4.3ish weighted, both from a highly respected private school. I also play two varsity sports.</p>
<p>I intend to pursue engineering once I enter college and I am trying to determine where to early apply between Harvey Mudd (binding), Stanford (non-binding), Pomona (binding), and Harvard (non-binding). Where do you suggest I apply and why? Thanks</p>
<p>Your unweighted/weighted GPA are low for all of the schools, but your scores will help compensate, also your school will as well depending how difficult it is. It is unclear what you want in a school since your list is eclectic. Determine if you want a liberal arts college or a large university. That will cut your list in half, apply to your first choice since early programs are binding. Post your EC’s, that will help with chancing.</p>
<p>Sorry totally forgot about EC’s. I was a peer tutor and secretary of the math club my sophomore year. At the end of my junior year I interned in the quality analysis lab at one of the largest caffeine producers in the world. I also received the Harvard Book Prize at the end of my junior year. Also, for my GPA, I believe it is the highest or second highest of my class.</p>
<p>The internship is impressive, I believe the Harvard Book Prize is as well (though I don’t know a lot about it, so don’t take my word for it). What will hurt you is that you have no community service and from my understanding you did not really commit to any EC’s for more then a year. Again what type of college would you prefer (large university or a small liberal arts college)?</p>
