<p>“Your” interests are in math and technology, specifically engineering but also other fields involving physics and chemistry. </p>

<p>Assume that all of the Senior and remaining junior grades hold true and that my application essays will be unique (Im confident they will be due to my story).</p>

<p>Thank you and please give a detailed list as to safeties and reaches that you would apply to if you were me, oh and dont worry about cost and those other variables, just schools that match:)</p>

<p>common guys dont be shy :stuck_out_tongue: BUMP</p>

<p>Try CalTech, MIT & Carnegie Melon based on your interests. Georgia Tech & Purdue should be great options for you.</p>

4

<p>Go for the Ivys, since have good curriculum rigor and a pretty good SAT score (if you got it above 2200, you would be a stronger candidate). Your ECs are also really good, but where you apply depends a lot on personal preference. If you like any of the Ivys, submit an app and see what happens.</p>

<p>Alright thank you very much for your opinions! GIMME MORE!</p>

6

<p>Even for engineering, math, physics & chemistry ?</p>

7

<p>If you want a small, liberal arts school, Amherst sciences are a hidden gem. Middlebury’s sciences are also superb.</p>

<p>Are you allowed to do Siemens when doing research at Carnegie? For some reason I thought it was one of the affiliated schools or something. I guess my memory just sucks haha</p>
