<p>*** the gpa is no doubt lacking, but I think the rest is decent?</p>
<p>You’re right the GPA is lacking but your ACT score is excellent. Aside from that, it seems as if your ECs are mainly music related when you’re trying to get into engineering. Maybe try to add ECs (if you can) that go along with the major you’re applying to? I don’t know too much about these schools, but that being said…</p>
<p>georgia tech- match
UC Berkeley- mid/high reach
UMich - low match
U of Ilinois - high match</p>
<p>UMichigan: Low match, good testing but they are looking for a 3.7+ unweighted
UC Berkeley: reach, but not impossible<br>
U of Illinois: high match
Georgia tech: not sure</p>
<p>U of Michigan: Match. The only thing they may not like is the UW GPA. But I think they would let it slide with those test scores!
U of Illinois: Match! Esp. because you’re in state.
Georgia Tech: I don’t know enough about this school to come to a conclusion.
UCB: Low reach. Again, your GPA may pose a problem. </p>
