What College Would Be Best For Me?
I was wondering what college might be best for me. I am a very hard worker and believe that I would be capable of getting into a tough to get into school. I am very interested in going to a school in Chicago and I would really love to go to the University of Chicago. The only problem is that I don't know if the classes that are in the area of Law enforcement and Phycology are the best that I can receive. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations or ideas on what college might cover areas that have to deal with law and criminal justice the best. My ideal school as I said before would be somewhere in Chicago with a good cross country or track team, and have a low-ish acceptance rate.

What are my chances on getting into NYU Tandon/Engineering and Duke University?
I currently have a 3.8 weighted GPA. I have at the least 100 community service hours but maybe closer to 200. I would plan on majoring in mechanical engineering so I have many STEM extracurriculars. I have leadership positions and I'm active in my community. I'm a junior so I don't have to write my essay just yet but I think the idea I have for it is pretty good. By my senior year I will have 10-12 APs and 5-7 honors. I'll have 4 years plus AP Spanish credit and 2 years of Chinese. I have research hours and awards in competitions. Not sure if this matters but I plan on double minoring in Japanese and game design/development. I'm also not sure if NYU and Duke requires a portfolio if so it might be a little late but I could work on some thing summer.

Why are college acceptance rates so low?
Acceptance rates to “elite” colleges and universities are extremely low and continue to drop each year. So I am wondering if these colleges and universities are very hard to get into because they admission standards have changed and continue to change of if there are just more applicants each year but they admit same amount (or close to it) of students each year. Will the acceptance rates eventually get so low that these “elite” colleges have to increase the amount of students they admit each year? #collegeadmissions #ivyleague #SAT #GPA #acceptancerates
