I would try to chance you; however, I don’t know which are your real stats.

I can tell you that the stats you had a few months ago would have put you in a better position that the ones you have here.

If I were you, I would try to figure out why my numbers keep on going down.

To be quite honest, a lot of those stats where inflated or undefined.

I can guarantee you that everything on this post is genuine. For example, I only took the SAT once, which was a 2120 opposed to the 2200 previously posted on here, which was what I expected to get.

Ok.

That being said, I think you have a lot of things going for you. You look like a solid applicant, EXCEPT for your GPA and Subject Test scores, being GPA your greatest problem.

I don’t see why you shouldn’t apply. Try to do your best, best ever the next couple of months. If you can, try to retake the Subject tests, especially Math since you want to go the Engineering route.

Good luck!
