<p>USC- high match/low reach
Purdue - Low match
Penn State - Safety</p>

<p>Your stats are in line for USC but not necessarily high enough to be confirmed admission. You are definitely a competitive applicant though! Try and maybe get that SAT score up to around 2150? that would be much more solid in USC’s eyes :smiley: good luck</p>

<p>Suggestions for other schools include : lehigh, UIUC, U Mich, UVA - tons :D</p>

<p>USC- Slight reach
Purdue - Match
Penn State - You’re basically in!</p>

<p>You’re about average at USC, but for all the others, you’re quiet a bit above average. Awesome math score by the way!</p>

<p>I am in the same case as you, international with very similar scores, and also want to apply for Aerospace engineering. Here is a list of schools i am applying to, if you want to get an idea :smile: </p>

<p>University of Michigan, ann Arbor ( Umich)
Purdue
University of illinois Urbana champaign (UIUC)
UCLA
UCSD
UCI
UCD
Georgia Tech
USC</p>

<p>I you want to add one definitely add U Mich. I would also consider UCLA (very good aerospace program) since you already have a school in California which means you consider going there.</p>
