GPA: 4.1 weighted

<p>Colleges: MIT, UCLA, Rose Hulman, Carnegie Mellon, (basically a lot of math and science focused schools)</p>
<p>No offense but no chance for any top schools with a 29 you need atleast 31,32+ on ACT.</p>
<p>MIT: Really far reach
UCLA: Reach (You’re OOS.)
Rose-Hulman: Reach
Carnegie Mellon: High Reach</p>
<p>I don’t think these are the schools to look at. Is there anything instate (Indiana? or somewhere else in the Midwest) that you are looking at?</p>

<p>You do need to adjust your wish list to the reality.</p>
<p>Well I live in Arizona, so California schools would be nice. My choice of Arizona school is the U of A but… they’re not too great. Also, I plan on retaking the ACT to get into the 30s. I felt awful about the ACT the last time I took it so hopefully with some practice I can get it up. Can anyone recommend any good engineering schools that fit my stats?</p>
<p>none are super realistic. Rose-Hullman is a possibility. Maybe look into some larger state schools? UIUC you’ve got a shot, Purdue, Minnesota?</p>
<p>Minnesota and Illinois look very appealing actually, thanks for the recommendation!</p>
<p>Those are all reaches (Rose-Hullman is a maybe though). Definitely apply to some other schools where you have good chances of getting in, like Purdue</p>
