<p>I think for you Texas Tech should definitely be a safety. You probably will be accepted to Georgia Tech because you have great credentials as well as in-state status. Also, I’d say UT-Austin would be a match for you. Sorry I don’t know much about the rest of the schools you listed, but you seem like a very qualified candidate. Good luck!</p>

<p>UMich and UC Berkeley would be a reach (low to mid) because there is going to be a lot of other applicants w/ the same or better credentials. Why retake th SAT when you did well on the ACT (unless you didn’t do ACT Writing or it’s a personal thing)?</p>

<p>Texas, UCLA and Georgia Tech are matches, you’ve got what it takes but it’s not set in stone. </p>

<p>Idk about the rest.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>@avogadro6022‌ @stephli‌ @alsa2000‌ Thank you guys for chancing me. I want to retake the SAT because I know I can do better. It is kind of a personal thing. It’s not the end of the world if I don’t get what I want, but I was so close to breaking 2000…</p>

<p>Bump</p>

<p>Considering URM with ACT 33 and GPA 3.8, you do have a good chance at all these schools. Did you take the ACT with writing? If you did, you can forget about the SAT1.</p>

8

<p>Oops, guess I left it out. I did take the writing section of the ACT.</p>

<p>I would say your biggest reaches would be UCLA, UC Berkeley or UMichigan, but only because they all get a ton of applications. You have a very good chance at all of them!</p>

<p>Good Luck! Chance me back?</p>

<p>You don’t need to retake the SAT, just send your ACT. Your EC’s are not bad, but it would help to bolster them before you apply.</p>

<p>Berkeley: low reach
UIUC: match
Purdue: match
UT Austin: match
GT: match
UCLA: match
UMich: match
Texas Tech: safety</p>

<p>Bump. Last one I swear</p>

<p>My friend had similar statistics and was accepted into UCB and UCLA. You can definitely get into Purdue.</p>

<p>chance me too please? I am planning to transfer to Santa Clara University for Winter 2014 admission as an Engineering Physics major which is under letters and sciences. I will be a sophomore in college at the time of transfer. My gpa will be approx 3.45 and I will be done with 41 semester units after summer (completing the courses they want for transferring into my major school as well). I work 3 jobs, have been volunteering regularly at a non profit organization for 3 years (have marked many achievements here), and started two clubs in my community college. Though I know it is not as important as grades and extra curriculars, I included it in my application so I decided to share it as well. My dad’s brother went to the school, I have visited and talked to an admissions counselor, and although it is not my religion my mom has attended private christian schools until college and follows the same faith. </p>
