<p>You really need to raise your SAT.</p>

<p>Columbia CEAS (ED) - reach
UCB - match (in state)
UCLA - low match (in state)
UCSD - lower match (in state)
UCI - safety
UCR - safety
Northwestern - high match
USC - match
Harvey Mudd - high match/slight reach (since you're a girl it's easier, yet harder to predict)
Cornell - slight reach</p>

<p>Looks like a good spread to me :)</p>

<p>thanks!! :D</p>

<p>i thought my SAT is too low to get into Columbia. Would it be better if I participate in any engineering competition in my senior year?</p>

<p>Don't participate in things just for your resume. It won't even matter much since it will be in your senior year. Schools don't care about quantity of ECs, just quality. Go really far with what you're good at.</p>
