<p>Judging by what I’ve seen of those three schools you should get in to two (or all) of those schools. Your SAT is a little low for engineering, but it’s still pretty decent.
I’d call UCB and UMich low reaches and Ga Tech a high match
Just remember
-UCB’s engineering acceptance rate is about 10% (unlike the 20% acceptance rate of the regular school)
-All three schools are public meaning it’ll be harder for you to get into any of those schools that are OOS
-College admissions are getting a lot harder ~ and are getting pretty sporadic. It’s not uncommon for a qualified student to get rejected for no obvious reason.</p>

Got it, I most likely planning on going the business route regardless. IE was the closest business related engineering route I could find.
Other than that, I am most likely planning to go with Econ and Management (So Hass and Ross)
Thanks. </p>

<p>Ross pre-admit is not any easier than CoE at UMich. It would be even a bit harder. Your GPA is a bit low for UMich CoE (avg 3.9) and likely for Ross pre-admission too. Try to apply to LSA and enter Ross as sophomore. Nevertheless, even for LSA UMich, both your GPA and SAT are slightly below admission average. For oos, you are still a low reach to very high match.</p>
