I am a senior living in New York state getting ready to submit my college applications.
Colleges I Have Looked At:
RPI, UoR, RIT, Clarkson, WPI, Stony Brook, and Binghamton
My stats:
3/309 in my class
99% unweighted gpa
1440 SAT (790 Math, 650 Reading) (This score is likely to improve (I expect 1500+) after i retake the SAT in October because I have been consistently getting 720+ in Reading while practicing)
8 AP Classes-
Freshman: AP Computer Science Principals(4)
Sophomore: None
Junior: AP Bio(5), AP Physics(5)
Senior: AP Calc BC, AP Stats, AP Lang, AP Macro, AP Chem
President of my NHS
Going for president of my Science Olympiad this year
I play soccer and run indoor + outdoor track
With these stats I fell like I have a decent shot at better colleges in NY such as Cornell, but since they offer no merit aid (and my family will receive almost no financial aid) I am looking at these on my list. My top options so far are UoR and RPI. I also want to get a lot of research done in college. Will I still be able to go to a top physics grad school (ex. MIT) if I go to these colleges vs. something like Cornell?
