<p>Northwestern would be reach, I think…unless you have more info that you didn’t divulge like a trump card.</p>

<p>CMU is a low reach, but a better shot at it than NWU. Give that some serious work, and who knows…</p>

<p>Purdue you’ll have an easy shot at.</p>

<p>I’d say much more, but I don’t know any other ones out there…sorry.</p>

<p>chance back?

<p>@TypeRA
Well my dad actually went to NWU and he’s actually employed by them so I have that working for me. I don’t know how much of an advantage that will give me…</p>

<p>First of all, is your uwGPA 4.0 in 4.0 max scale?
Your ACT score is at or above average for Wisconsin, Purdue, and Minnesota. You should be a match for them.
Northwestern should be a reach with ACT at 31, but with legacy, you may be a high match.
For UIUC, you are right at the 25% for engineering (mid 50 ACT 31-34). But for in state, you should still be a match.
For UMich CoE, your ACT is also at their 25% (same mid 50 as UIUC). For oos, you would be a low reach to high match.</p>

<p>Thanks.
I have a 3.74 uw gpa btw</p>
