Artwork Activity

What are my chances of getting into UCSD?
I am in 11th grade so I am starting to look at colleges. I have a 3.7 GPA (unweighted) and I go to a private college prep school so the coursework is more difficult then at many public schools. I am in AP Biology, AP Government, and Honors Math III. I am a student recruiter for my school, I play varsity basketball and volleyball, I am a member of a robotics team at another school, I volunteer at Make A Difference Day twice a year and I am also involved in Special Olympics activities, some of my artwork has awards in art shows, and I play club volleyball where I am the captain. I took my ACT in August this year and scored a 30. I plan on taking it again and hopefully get a 32 or better. I have heard that UCSD is pretty difficult to get into, but it has a great biomedical engineering program so I really want to go there. Also what are my chances of getting into Michigan or Rice? Those schools are also great for biomedical engineering.
I would put your odds at UCSD at about 50-50. Rice – low odds – it is one tough school. Michigan a reasonable shot – maybe about 60-70% chance.
Have you thought about Harvey Mudd?

It is a terrific math/science/engineering school and sends a lot of students to graduate school – that’s where the action really is these days. In fact I can not think of a single engineering school better in that area. I would put your odds at getting in as better than Rice at about 50-50.
Thanks
