<p>Senior Course Load
AP- BC Calc, Physics B, Micro, Enviornmental
Senior Comp/ Major novels
auto mechanics </p>

<p>Test Grades-
ACT- 30 (34- CR, 32-Writting, 27-Math, 28-Science)(retaking in Sept hopfully getting Math & Science up)

AP World- 4</p>

<p>Extra Circulars-
Internship with professor at RPI- looking at chemical rain vs. acid rain
WPI Summer Program- 2 weeks- Civil and Enviornmental Engineering tract

<p>My worry is my math and science grades tend to be in the high 80's low 90's and my english and history grades are what pulls my average up. Also, my math and science grades are my lowest on the ACT's.</p>

<p>Any input or advice would be great! Thanks!</p>

<p>@Engineer789 One good thing about Case is that you apply to the school as a whole, not to a specific major, so if you are accepted you can major in anything you want. Of course, then you actually have to take all those intro courses for engineering majors (weeder courses) and that is where you will find out if you truly have what it takes. Maybe you do not want to specify engineering as your major if you’re not confident in your math/science scores. You really do look like you have a good chance…how does the auto mechanics course fit in the rigor of classes taken- is it filling a required elective? Maybe you could work that into an essay showing your mechanical mind :slight_smile:
Make sure you visit, tour, interview, etc. Attend info sessions at your school if they visit, contact your regional rep…Case likes you to show interest. It is a wonderful school! Good luck!</p>
