<p>Congrats on your upward grade trend. Also you have a great writing score but unfortunately your math score is pretty low for engineering schools. U of I is going to be a reach because of your sat and berkeley and ucla are bigger reaches for you. The other ucs are low reaches to high matches. USC is a big reach also. Don’t really know pitcher but the lmu and usd should be matches for you. Goodluck Can u please chances back</p>

<p>your freshman year gpa is not up to the standards of berkeley and ucla, so those are still quite a reach even with your improving gpa. and your sat is on the lower end for someone apply for engineering, i would suggest applying for something else and then transferring into the engineering major once you are there, to lessen the blow of a lower math score. the rest of the schools seem to be a reasonable match.</p>
