<p>good ACT and ECs but nothing else after added to the fact that engineering is quite competitive. I say no at cornell, michigan, illinois, ucla, cal poly, and minnesota. Reach at Oregon State, washington, and penn state. Match at uconn</p>

<p>Essays are most likely going to be decent. I am not the most gifted/creative writer but i can get by. My references most likely will be very good as I will ask my biology teacher (illinois grad) and my english teacher for recs (from previous students at my hs they both have a good reputation of past recomendations)</p>
