<p>I know my GPA is awfully low and my ECs aren't spectacular. I'm really worried that a large portion of my schools are reach schools, and I'm applying to environmental engineering and computer science/engineering programs, which are said to be far more competitive than most colleges' stats show. Could I get some feedback on what my chances at these schools are, and if I should consider applying other places?</p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>

<p>Your SAT and rigorous courses make you a good applicant for most of the schools although they are very competitive. Really use your essays and supplements to set you apart from other applicants. </p>

<p>Take UC Berkeley off your list. I had a 2300 SAT score and a much higher GPA than yours, but I was rejected/waitlisted by more than half of the UCs.</p>
