<p>How are my chances for:</p>

<p>JHU
UPenn
Lehigh
Rutgers
UMich</p>

<p>Also, Can you give me other good engineering schools not far from NJ that I may be eligible for? I don’t want to travel far, but I want a good school</p>

<p>Why do people that want engineering schools always end up forgetting Columbia and Cooper Union? Cooper's free too.</p>

3

<p>I figured I was too dumb to get into Columbia, and I need money to be able to go to Columbia... I don't know about Cooper Union though, I heard about it, I just never took it into consideration</p>

<p>Your SAT's are low for JHU, UPenn and UMich, (maybe Lehigh too.) To get into any of those schools your probably going to need a higher SAT score (2000+). But on the other hand your GPA/Class Rank/EC's are pretty good.</p>

<p>P.S. Unfortunatly, being a Pacific Islander may be a disadvantage, especially at a school like JHU, where their large Asian population has extremely good stats.</p>

5

<p>Well, I'm an Asian American (Half Filipino and Half Irish), should I put other instead? or white? or what?</p>

6

<p>Oh, and I forgot to add, my school is so underdeveloped... previous scholars (last year) got into penn with an 1860, MIT with a 1970, and a half ride at NYU with a 2040, does that change anything?</p>

7

<p>I don't think it matters whether you put Asian, black, or white, you're going to have a tough time getting into Penn or Michigan.</p>
