This is more of a general question if I can I get into any competitive colleges for engineering. I am even debating of applying out of state. I live in Michigan. Apparently my scores are not good enough for U of M, so I may retake the ACT and focus on the math section.
I am currently in a pre engineering high school program, technically manufacturing focused. I am also taking courses in a community college.
In regards to that, my high school offers all community college courses for free during high school. We can take quite a few credits, and they support a program that allows a 13th year with college paid for at the local community college. So I could easily go to that community college for free, and there is a “2 years at this community college and 2 years at a well known engineering school” program I could enter. I either want to go into electrical, environmental, or chemical engineering
I am applying to see if I could receive any full rides or merit scholarships, but I do not think my score is high enough for that. I may retake in november, and actually study for the test next time, or try to bring up my 27 in math and return my english score.
On another note, is there any chance for me to get any full rides with scores that low? I do expect a full ride at any great university.
I plan to attend college in State in Michigan. I will apply to most good colleges and by that I mean Michigan State, U of M ann Arbor, Kettering, Michigan Tech, Lawrence, Northern, maybe LSSU
also Alma, Kalamazoo, free application
Stats:
GPA: 3.99
ACT: 30, 31 superscored
Rank: small rural school, 2, they only give a rank if asked
28C
28 english
25 math
32 reading
27 science
10 writing
30C
26 english - really surprised I went down by two points.
27 Math- Well everything is evened out. I am in Calc 3 through a local community college, so most of this math is a hazy memory,
35 reading- very surprising
32 Science- a good improvement
30- stem, however I do not know how that factors into the score
No writing
2 AP Classes: Lang, Environmental Science Both 5’s-
We can take a max of six ap classes if we do not attend a program. I did attend a program, so my max amount of ap classes would have been 4. I chose to take community college classes instead.
