<p>Before I begin, thanks for chancing me!</p>

<p>I think you’d stand a decent chance for all of them, while you do slug a tiny bit academically-wise (even with a ~2000 GPA) only Illinois will give some trouble, as you’re a well-balanced student if not a high area one. I’d say at least ~50% for all but Illinois, and maybe that for Illinois. </p>

<p>Hope this helped!</p>

<p>What would you say for illinois? That is probably my top choice as far as academics go. I heard the average SAT (middle 50%) is 1960 - 2170. If I hit a 2050, or even a 2000 I am right on there. I’d imagine my GPA is a little low, but other than that, what else would help my chances?</p>

<p>Illinois and Boston might be a hard with your UW gpa, and not outstanding SAT score.
I am not familiar with all the other schools.</p>

<p>I can understand Illinois with a 2000+ SAT average for engineers, but BU’s average is only 1880. After looking at the scattergram on naviance for my school I don’t think BU is out of the question. Unfortunately there is no scattergram for Illinois on naviance for me.</p>
