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.

How did you get into the auto body/auto mechanic field? What was your expectation going in and how did that contrast to reality?
I'm currently in Job Corps wondering if this trade is for me or not. I have always had a passion for cars and I like to think that they are pretty much adult legos with extra parts and steps, but obviously, if I keep that sentiment I will be in for a rude awakening. What was your experience first getting into this field and how much of it was similar or different from your expectations?

BamendaWhat are my chances of getting into Auburn and how can I increase them?
I'm a junior who lives in state so my chances are slightly higher. My GPA is really mid(my weighted will be pretty high) but I'm pretty sure I can make a 25-28 on my ACT by December. Since Auburn mainly looks at 9-11 transcripts so I'll have taken 7 honors and 6 AP classes. I also plan on applying for a major Mechanical Engineering. I'm currently or participated in many STEM related clubs and have a lot of community service hours.
