<p>I am currently entering Junior year and exploring my options for chemical engineering. The schools I am listing are not at all safeties, at least I do not believe so! But I would honestly like to know if I even have a shot, or if I am just being delusional. I appreciate all of your feedback as I really am looking for advise and guidance! Thank You!</p>

<p>Just a simple bump!</p>
<p>Georgia Tech’s average SAT was a 2150 and on there weighting scale the average gpa was a 4.0 (+.5 for AP classes).</p>
<p>dirtysocks where did you get the SAT score? That number definitely doesn’t seem right for GT.</p>
<p>OP, improve your SAT or ACT to ~2100/31 if you want a better shot. Currently, Cornell and Caltech are way out in the exosphere as far chances (Caltech would be a reach even with a 2300, though).</p>
<p>I haven’t taken the official SAT as of yet, however I have taken the ACT and received a 28, which I believe is their average. I still do not know with all the other information I provided however what that means as far as my chances of being accepted.</p>
<p>This is a complete list of all of the competitive schools I am considering:
Northeastern
Boston
California Institute of Technology
Drexel University
Tufts University
Cornell University
Carnegie Mellon University
Georgia Institute of Technology
University of California Berkeley
Worcester Polytechnic Institute</p>
<p>Boston what? College is more selective than uni but offers a tremendous amount of need-based aid in comparison. For BC a 30+ ACT would be good.</p>
<p>I just read that you’re going into jr year. If you are seriously interested in Caltech, involve yourself in math/science academic competitions. Practice for and take the AMC and try to score well. You still have time to improve your scores (Caltech’s SAT Math middle 50% is 760-800 which is ridiculous). You are definitely on the right track to get into an awesome school, though.</p>
<p>Try looking into more public schools for ChemE/engineering in general. Texas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Delaware, Illinois and Michigan have amazing ChemE, for example, along with GaTech and Berkeley.</p>
<p>Uhh… im pretty sure GATech avg sat score is around 1900</p>
