I was really hoping to get into an engineering program in college however I messed up and my GPA is bad. I was seeing if I could still make it into the schools I want to apply to with my current level, I have some ECs but nothing special compared to my friends. My sister went to UIUC but since they are public I doubt the care about legacy
Applying to:
UIUC school of engineering (dream school)
Rutgers
Swarthmore
Case Western
Drexel
Purdue
Georgia Tech
Ohio State
Virginia Tech
