<p>You’ve got this in the bag. Especially university of Pittsburgh and …GOO PITTSBURGH STEELERS aye but seriously you’ll get into any of those just write a kick ass essay explaining your immense accomplishments and goals c:</p>

<p>Bump</p>

<p>Unless you are a VA resident, I think that UVA is an unrealistic reach. Villanova might be a high-match. The rests are matches, unless you are applying to “impacted” STEM departments, in which case they are probably reaches. Which state do you live in? If you are in-state for any of the public colleges on your list, that one is pretty safe, apart from the most competitive Honors or STEM programs.</p>

6

<p>^^ Im from NY, but also, what is a STEM program of you dont mind?</p>

7

<p>Bump. I will chance back.</p>

8

<p>STEM = Science, Technology (ie. Computer Science, etc.), Engineering, and Math</p>

9

<p>@woogzmama‌ Would I be within reach for Penn State or Villanova Engineering? </p>

10

<p>Bump please need everyones help</p>

<p>I don’t know about the specifics. There are probably pretty extensive, informative threads dedicated to Penn State admissions.Otherwise it would be worthwhile to either visit the campus or live-chat with an admissions representative to find out about admissions requirements for both. My impression is that the Engineering school at Penn State is pretty selective. Your Math score can’t hurt, but I just don’t know. What about some of the SUNY campuses? I’d also look into Drexel, Pitt, and Temple. </p>

12

<p>Matches for all but UVA and Notre Dame. Perhaps Villanova, but I think you can pull it off</p>
