<p>Get as close to 800 as possible on Math II and Physics. Also, boost your GPA. Make sure you show your passion in the sciences if your applying as Eng major.</p>

<p>Females + Engineering is always a good combo to apply as.</p>

<p>You’re a very solid applicant; however, you said you’re currently living in China. I’m a little confused: are you an international applicant or just current resident? It would help if you’d clear that up :)</p>

4

<p>yes i’m an int’l applicant.</p>

5

<p>GPA is ummm… but if you say your school is so well ranked, It MAY be overlooked, can you take the SAT I again, or try the ACT?</p>

<p>Remember to write a good essay!</p>

<p>All the Best </p>
