What is my chances to get into a good Engineering school , I can see that my GPA ls low, I was not that focused on GPA ,
Was a so called GATE student, my ACT first attempt 36/36 is only what obviously there show as outstanding, other than that pushed hard , like taking AP Micro Econ and AP Macro Econ by self study in Jr yr and got 5/5
I am looking for “well reputed” or top tier College recommendation where I have Chance of Admission with my Profile listed above…
Instead of asking if I have good chance in CMU, Georgia Tech, UT Austin, or even Cornell, Duke all the big name I guess have very low chance, seeking Advice for really good colleges where there is chance worth applying for. THANK YOU ALL. Application date is near by, Applying to UC ( I am in CA) and UUIC and Perdue and rest up in air.
“well reputed” is a 2 sided answer. You have fake rankings and what the professional world thinks. Yes big difference.
I think the question you should ask and answer yourself with little research is, what do I want from a College, what do I have to offer a college, the perfect campus would be and in this climate, when do I start my major courses, will I be able do lab classes every semester, etc?
Chance yourself my friend. Have confidence and go get it. Why let others put you in a cube or dictate your ability. No offense to the community.
What is your GPA for each grade? If you had a bad freshman year or something, your GPA isn’t too bad. California has a ton of amazing schools. The UCs only look at 10-11th grade which could boost your GPA. Look up the UC calculator and let us know what GPA it gives you
3.92 is the UC GPA (weighted). I am expecting this semister can get all A, feels less pressured and more focused , after all the EC activity now mostly done.
