<p>please help</p>

<p>What is your W GPA?</p>

<p>Regardless, Berkeley will be a reach (very selective in admissions. Your GPA hurts and your SAT doesn’t help). Cal Poly is a high match (Cal Poly is very selective in engineering, and without any writing section, that GPA will hurt your chances). I’d be very surprised if you didn’t make it into Virginia Tech. Georgia Tech looks like a high match (again, your GPA doesn’t help.) I can’t comment on UIUC as I don’t know how much EC’s will factor in (although, given the fact that UIUC focuses on much more than just engineering, I assume they will help you out especially with 500 hours of service. USC is a high match especially with your legacy. I think you should apply regular in order to raise your UW GPA.</p>

<p>Thanks for Chancing me!</p>

<p>I will only comment on the California schools:
Cal Poly SLO/UCB: Reach (GPA not competitive)
USC: High Match (due to Legacy)
You should consider Cal Poly Pomona and San Jose State if you are a California Resident. Both schools would be a Match.
Good Luck and work on that GPA.</p>

<p>Since you are OOS for Gtech, I would consider it as a slight Reach…as your GPA and AP Math scores are not bolstering your case.</p>

<p>Odd that you had such a flip between the Hist and Math scores in back to back school years !! Any reasons ?</p>

<p>@i012575‌ the classes i did worse in were just difficult.</p>

9

<p>You will probably get into Virginia Tech, USC, and UIUC</p>

<p>Your stats are very high</p>

<p>I would not wait until regular decision (3.75 vs 3.79 = not a huge difference)</p>

10

<p>You will not get into Georgia Tech.</p>

11

<p>@iwantivy8888‌ why? are my stats really THAT low?</p>

12

<p>Your GPA for GT should be higher, same with SAT I.</p>

13

<p>I think you underestimate how great of a school it is.</p>

14

<p>@iwantivy8888‌ no, i understand that its a good school, but i thought i had like a 30-40 percent chance. the way you say it, it seem like I have no chance at all. i mean, its not like harvard or stanford level. its a good school, but it still has a 32 percent acceptance rate right?</p>
