<p>I am a csf member 4 years and a leader of fellowship christian athletes club for 2 years, but been a member for 6.</p>

<p>I am also a varsity athlete. Ive played baseball for 12 years . Ive plated for all 4 years in high school in addition to a scout team which entailed a rigorous every day commitment to practice year round. I was also offered scholarships to several d1,2, and 3 schools. However, I suffered injuries which required surgery my junior and senior year. With only 4 weeks of recovering from the first, I tore my acl and required surgery. This was this past summer. During this 4 week period is also when I received interest from several colleges. Its definitely been tough but during this time, I have matured and persevered. In fact, during thisti.me is when I put out my best work. I will definitely wriye about this in my essay.</p>

<p>my hobbies also include surfing, freedive spearfishing, mountain biking, and anhthing else in the ocean.</p>

<p>I am of philippino and white decent and two generations ago, my family was living in poverty in the philippines. Now, we are very well off. I can also mention this somehow in my application and how I plan to live up to this.</p>

<p>Thank you for taking time to share your input! Id also appreciate any other school recommendations.</p>

<p>Most of the schools on your list would be reach for you. Your Math score is very low for most top engineering schools. Your uwGPA is within the mid50, but also below average for most. You probably should reconsider whether you really want to study engineering. Your Comp Sci AP score is very low that you may not want to report it. On the other hand, you will need that programming skill in Eng101.</p>

<p>Thank you for the post bill. I appreciate the input. I would really like to study engineering. I really enjoy the concepts of problem solving and can definitely improve on my skills. As for my list, I understand most of them are reaches. However, how about UT Austin or U Washington? These are my top realistic choices. Would I be correct in assuming that I am a match for those two schools?</p>

<p>Also, Id appreciate recommendations for some safety schools (Engineering Major) as I finalize my college list.</p>
