Chance me please? (:

<p>Hi everyone! I applied Early Action last month Northeastern University, Villanova University, and Syracuse University with a major in Civil Engineering. I know that all of these engineering schools are very competitive so I'm pretty unsure of my chances of getting in.</p>

<p>I'm a white female.
I live in Rhode Island.</p>

<p>SAT C 1940 CR 650 M 620 W 670
ACT C 29</p>

<p>Freshman Year Courses: Honors Biology, Honors Spanish I, Honors English I, Honors Algebra I, Honors GLobal Studies, Theology I, 20th Century Music</p>

<p>Soph Year Courses: Honors Chemistry, Honors Spanish II, Honors English II, HOnors Algebra II, Honors US History, Theology II, Health, Drawing & Painting I</p>

<p>Junior Year Courses: Honors Physiology, Honors Biochemistry, Honors Pre-Calculus, Honors English III, Honors Spanish III, Theology III, Honors Psychology</p>

<p>Senior Year Courses: AP Biology, AP Physics, Honors Calculus, Honors Spanish IV, Honors English IV, Theology IV</p>

<p>*AP course placement is very competitive at my school and it is only open to juniors & seniors who are approved by a number of people beforehand.</p>

<p>Weighted GPA: 3.88 </p>

<p>Weighted class rank: 44/167</p>

<p>I attend a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence</p>

<p>Part-time job the summer before senior year at a greenhouse. Helped with gardening and data entry.</p>

<p>I'm very proud of my college essay & my teacher recommendations should be glowing.</p>

<p>What are my chances? Thanks!</p>

<p>I would call Northeastern a reach (I don’t know enough about the others), your numbers are a bit low and your ECs are inconsistent.</p>

<p>None of those schools operate like Virginia Tech, which only uses weighted GPAs from high school transcripts; they use unweighted GPA in addition to weighted GPA.</p>

<p>NEU EA: Match (good use of EA plus one hook for civil engineering)
Villanova: Match (unless your ACT math score is 29+)
Syracuse: Low match</p>
