Chances for a few colleges that I will apply to?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am currently a junior interested in engineering. I do not know which type of Engineering I may want to take up but Materials, Computer, and Biomedical interest me. I am not applying to TOP schools since I screwed up freshmen year horribly and I know it ruined my chances completely. I am:
Male
Asian-American
GPA: 3.6/4 (probably be 3.7+ by end of senior year)
SAT : (only taken once) 610M 560CR 590W
ACT: Never taken but plan on taking.
Classes - My course load is not great... I am currently in a private high school. Throughout high school, I've taken Accelerated Math and Science but not language, english or history. Next year I will be taking, AP Bio, Ap Calc AB, AP Pyschology, and AP Computer Science (will colleges see my senior year classes? I'm worried because my course load I guess is pretty "easy" up to this point and I want to show that I am a hardworking student - I guess it payed off this year...)</p>

<p>The current colleges whose engineering programs that interest me are:
Boston University
Rutgers University
Case Western Reserve
Northeastern University
LeHigh University
Georgia Tech
Drexel
Penn State (University Park)</p>

<p>Do I have a chance? Thanks in advance</p>

<p>You can try to raise your sat scores by 100-200 with tutoring or test prep book. I would check the schools average sat scores on their websites or on collegeboard.com if I were you. The best thing you can do though is volunteer ans get some ecs. If you do that I would say you have a good chance at getting into most of those schools.</p>

<p>I am on JV winter and spring track team and am secretary of the Medical Club and Asian Club… if that helps</p>

<p>You need to identify some safety schools. Work hard this summer and try to get a significant boost (200-300) in your SAT scores if you really want to apply to these schools.</p>

<p>Your SAT scores will be a handicap. You should search for some safety schools.</p>

<p>I have NJIT and Rutgers as safe schools… I also forgot to add that I have over 500 volunteering hours and am apart of NHS. Does that boost my chances a little? I also will take the ACT (took practice test with writing and got 31) in Sept. along with 2 subject tests in October so hopefully those will boost my chances.</p>
