<p>@ Catria: Thank you, is that because my ACTscore is not good enough?</p>

<p>You have great ECs however your test scores are a little low for most of these places. I’d consider you a high match for just about all of them</p>

<p>you look very well rounded, like the kind of person universities would want. I understand that there is very high competition among Asians to get into engineering schools, but I can’t imagine too many others matching your accomplishments. Best of luck!</p>

<p>@ troutfreak Thank you! What score do you think is safety for all these schools?</p>

<p>Considering most universities look at the overall person, you have a pretty good chance. People with 1900’s on the SAT get into Harvard so if they can get into Harvard with that, you have a good chance at getting into your schools, not to mention your EC’s look pretty solid.</p>

<p>@ Ninja4hire Thank you! Any more suggestions?</p>

<p>Thank you, any more suggestion? I really need more advice to decide whether to take the DEC ACT!</p>

<p>Any more suggestions? I really worried about my ACT score. Is 30 qualified for these schools?</p>

<p>theres a special match calculator for UCs like Berkeley and it judges how well you match those that got into a specific UC, hope it helps( google it, its called rogerhub chance calculator for UCs)</p>

<p>and can someone please chance me for UBC, heres the link:</p>

Purdue: Match</p>

<p>I think you’ll have an excellent shot at GIT and UIUI. I say these are matches.
Cornell could be a reach school and it mostly is a reach school for most. Give it a shot though, because they review everything and you seem to be very well rounded.</p>
