Thank you</p>

<p>Oh I forgot. I am also 1st generation college student. Idk if that would help my chances.</p>

<p>I would suggest looking at Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, Wisconsin Madison, Texas A&M, Maryland College Park, and NC State.</p>

<p>My dad is in the Engineering Management field with PE and CFM certifications. He regularly hires engineers and thinks very highly of graduates from those schools.</p>

<p>All the out of states are currently reaches. Need to bring the SAT up. Aim for 2000+. UF and FSU should accept you.</p>

<p>Your SAT score is very low for most of the schools on your list, particularly for engineering. Your Math scores in SAT1 and SAT2 are also not impressive at all. You do get a 5 in AP Calc AB though. Are you sure you want to study engineering? If you can improve your scores a little bit, you should have a chance in UF and FSU.</p>

<p>Thank you guys!
So do you guys think if I get my SAT over 2000 ill have a shot a those schools?
And I’m planning to take the ACT too. What should my score be to have a shot a those schools</p>

<p>These schools have a very wide range. For a better change, try to aim at these target scores:
UC Berkeley: 33+/2200+
UCLA: 31+/2100+
USC: 32+/2150+
Caltech: 34+/2280+</p>

<p>Thank you guys.
If there is anything else that would help me improve my application, please let me know.</p>
