<p>Everything after sophomore year is theoretical. Is it enough for me to do what I specified or am I facing a massive uphill climb?</p>

<p>So there you have it, all my grades and other stuff. If none of those seem viable, can you recommend me a good biological engineering college that fits my grades?</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply! Hopefully a few more people will give me some input, and I’d be happy to chance back.</p>

<p>I don’t know what your weighted GPA is, but I know the average to get into U of I is around 4.1. I wouldn’t say it’s a safety, but you’re definitely a match.</p>

<p>Purdue, safety.</p>

<p>Ann-Arbor, low reach.</p>

<p>Don’t know about UC Davis or A&M.</p>

<p>My advice? Get your GPA up. Everything else is there.</p>
