<p>I think GA Tech is within reach, a kid last year with a 3.1 got in but his SAT scores were really off the maps.</p>

<p>That is the only college I know of since it is in state and my school sends about 5 people every year to that college (it is a magnet school).</p>

<p>As for Bucknell, I heard a lot of people say it is tough to get into. Renesselaer has an okay reputation but I am not too sure about their admission requirements.</p>

<p>The average SAT score for GA Tech was a 1300 (on math and reading), you seem to have a score above that but I don’t know whether to call GA Tech a safety, it is a great school.</p>

<p>oh and chance me on my UGA thread, thanks!</p>

<p>Thanks Protagonist, I just chanced you back. Need some more chances from others please!</p>

<p>I am intending to major in EE and I am applying to some of the same schools–Lafayette, Binghamton, and RPI. Your amazing math SAT scores are great for a prospective CE. You are certainly a match for all these schools, with schools like Lehigh, Bucknell, RPI, and Georgia Tech being a little tougher.

<p>Just chanced you back Aqueous, thanks!</p>

<p>I’m a junior at Lehigh, majoring in Chemical Engineering. Over the past two years, it has become even more selective that when I applied (now ~20% acceptance rate). I know a female, 1st gen. American engineering applicant who was rejected here, but accepted at CalTech. That being said, it is very tough to determine who has a definite/great chance at being accepted into any particular school.</p>

<p>Your extracurricular activities are similar to my HS ones (minus mock trial). That should help your chances in the admissions process. The AP experience will look good. I’d say you have a fairly good chance of being admitted here.</p>

<p>I also applied to Pitt and Bucknell. Honors College at Pitt, wait listed at Bucknell (Lehigh is a better school, but Bucknell can be tougher to get into if you are seeking financial aid. I think Bucknell holds that against you.). Purdue is a top-notch engineering school, but given its size, I think you’d have a good chance.</p>

<p>Good luck in the process. Lehigh is really awesome, so if you can manage to get in and feel that it is a good match for you, go for it!</p>

<p>Wouldn’t worry much about Purdue Engineering. Have a few friends in the Engineering program who had the same stats as you and as long as you can show your strength in Math on such things such as the SAT then your fine. Should highly consider going there since Engineers are praised quite well haha since it’s known as an Engineering school due to it’s great program. Great campus, campus life, athletics, environment too.</p>
