<p>i'm coerced into this college turmoil and i can't decide on anything.</p>
<p>live in NY but about to move to MI...before my senior year.</p>
<p>i attend a public school that send around 15 kids to ivy's each year, but me unlike everyone else, have a low gpa, around 3.5. i'm about to take the act in june and probably end up with a 32 or 33. and i took the sat a year ago but i did horribly. i'm very involved in clubs, and my teachers love me. </p>
<p>well my school list consist of: uMich AA (reach) Purdue, Penn state, Va tech.</p>
<p>in my opinion i have slim chance at any of those school so i was wondering if you could recommend a few more match or safety schools.</p>
<p>i perfer public school on the east coast or middle of the country.</p>
<p>At the U. of Michigan, the middle 50% of accepted student scores on the ACT are 27-31 and the average GPA is 3.72. If you get your expected ACT score that's not much of a reach. Purdue's 23-28 and 3.50. You look pretty solid there.</p>
<p>i haven;t really decided what to major in. thinking about EE (like my old man) but defiantly considering architecture, and maybe psychology. so honestly don;t know.
.
for whatever college i get into i;ll probably be enrolled in general studies or liberal arts type of program. but i don't want to go to a liberal arts school, most are on the expensive side.</p>
<p>Erin's Dad: i believe i might do better on the ACT despite my sat score because (wow...answered in complete sentence, none of my teachers could get me to do that) i feel that the act is easier and i have been getting my projected score on numerous practice tests. plus i took the sat over a year ago so i would like to think that i have gotten a little bit smarter :)</p>
<p>If you do VT you'd probably get in engineering with a 32 on your ACT, if your GPA is good. Architecture is really hard to get into since we have what was rated the #1 undergrad school in the country, but it's worth a shot I supposed. DON'T count on transferring into either if you don't get in in the first place. Going from anything to engineering is going to be hard anywhere, and I'd imagine the same is true for architecture.</p>
<p>yeah i really want to go to tech. my dad was a professor there and i have live there for 6 years when i was in my teens and love the town and the school. it would be very nostalgic for me, but at the same time kinda weird to meet all the people you know since 50% of BHS graduates goes to tech. so i really can't decide.</p>
<p>yes the act curve is almost non existent, but i feel that i have a better handle on the english question since that seems to be my weakness on the act.</p>
<p>i have another questions. i don;t know how this came to my mind but i remember reading some where that if you are a MI resident, you will be considered in state at ohio schools?... is this true or am i just making up stuff now.</p>
<p>Look at Worchester Polytech. It's a great school, but if you are qualified, you generally get in. Also, I think that if you are accepted, you can major in anything.</p>
