So far I’ve looked at Northwestern, UW Madison, Notre Dame, University of Minnesota, will be looking at SLU, Wash U, Purdue, Rose Hulman next week. I’m also considering a few others. I’m just curious of my chances. Thanks.
With your ACT score you have a really good chance at most of the schools there. I know Rose is super competitive so I wouldn’t count on that one but if anyone gets in you have one of the best chances. I don’t know much about University of Minnesota is it a good engineering school? Northwestern, again competitive but you probably a alright chance.
I do think you have a good chance at most of them. Consider UIUC as well and maybe UT at Austin. Do you have more engineering related activities/awards?
Definitely look into Georgia tech. Also really try to get your Eagle. Like, seriously that’s huge. But your stats look good and you have good ECs. I’d say you have a pretty good shot at most of the schools you listed.
