<p>none of those schools (other than case western) are really even known for engineering… look more into cal berkeley illinois michigan purdue… and get that act to a 33+ or so</p>
<p>Both your in-state school (Wash) and Cal Poly have good, established Engineering schools. You are a solid match and even a safety at both these schools. These schools are not in the category of senior’s list, but are still good choices of E schools to apply to. You may want to take or re-take the SAT as well, to see if you can increase your scores. If not don’t worry, you have some excellent E schools on your list! Pratt at Duke is also a very, very good school and you have a shot. I would definitely look into applying at some of the schools senior mentioned. As a female applicant, you have an advantage over the boys as the E programs at most of the schools want to increase the percentage of women E majors! I would take Seattle U off your list for Engineering.</p>
<p>Seattle U is a safety my parents are forcing upon me. I’m open to re-taking the ACT but I’m definitely not taking the SAT again and don’t plan on taking subject tests so the UCs are kinda out of the picture</p>
