<p>Everything is great! I would just work on raising that ACT score a point or two. Other than that, I think you have a pretty good chance of being admitted.</p>

<p>Improve your ACT Math and Science and you’ll have a good shot. Right now it’s a reach, but not impossible. It helps that you’re female, too; the CoE acceptance rate for females is ~30% iirc.</p>

<p>Thanks you, BK1349 and ybrown234, for your comments. Yes, I will try to get that ACT up. What other colleges would you guys suggest I look at?</p>

5

<p>That depends. What can you afford, what field of engineering do you want to study, and where, geographically, do you want to study?</p>

6

<p>I can afford a pretty heavy load of money-- I’m not really concerned about that. I’m looking in the Northeast and Central Pacific region (around University of Penn and Johns Hopkins). I want to go into biomedical engineering and become a surgeon, but Johns Hopkins is just too much of a reach for me…</p>

<p>Bump please!</p>

<p>You have tons of options in the east, then: CMU, Lehigh, Bucknell, UVA (maybe out of your geographical range, but it’s a good BME school) etc.</p>

<p>JHU isn’t out of reach, so you could try your luck there.</p>

<p>Do you think I could get into CMU?</p>
