Chance me for Engineering: Rice, UT, Michigan, Illinois

<p>I'm in the middle of my application process and I was wondering what my chances might be. I'm putting my first choice major as Civil Engineering for the following schools:</p>

<p>Rice
UT
Illinois
Michigan
I have already been accepted to Texas A&M's civil engineering program.</p>

<p>My high school is overall a pretty competitive large public high school in Texas.</p>

<p>Rank: 80/1340 (Top 5.97%)
Gpa: UW: 3.82 W:4.22</p>

<p>AP Scores: World History (5), US History (5), Spanish Lang (4), English Lang (4), Psychology (5)</p>

<p>Senior Course Load:
AP Calc BC, AP English Lit, AP Spanish Lit, AP Environmental Science (I decided on engineering after I signed up for classes or else I would have taken AP Physics B or C), and Band</p>

<p>ACT: Composite:34, 34-eng, 32-math, 36-reading, 33-science, 6-writing(painfully low)</p>

<p>ECs: I'm heavily involved with band. I'm a section leader and am consistently first chair. I regularly make all-region and last year made all-area. I also have 75+ volunteering through NHS and participate in my church's youth group.</p>

<p>Work Experience: I've had a job at a tutoring center since the beginning of September.</p>

<p>Oh, and I am a white male. Thanks!</p>

<p>Rice: Reach
UT-Austin: Safety
UMI: Low match
UIUC: Safety</p>

<p>Thanks! I know UT as a school is a safety for me since I’m automatic, but what are my chances for civil engineering at the cockrell school of engineering?</p>

<p>Low match for Cockrell civil engineering.</p>

<p>Thank you! Any other chances?</p>

<p>UT-Austin is a national powerhouse in engineering, if it is that much harder to be accepted to Rice, do not apply there.</p>

<p>Well I don’t see any harm in trying. Do you think rice is a very high reach?</p>

<p>you should apply to Purdue! you’d definitely get in and they are nationally ranked in engineering!</p>

<p>I will consider looking into Purdue. Any other chances?</p>

<p>I’d say Rice is a low reach now.</p>

<p>Why do you now think it’s a low reach?</p>
