Georgia Tech and Purdue

<p>My s has a 3.7 Weighted GPA and a 29 in ACT .he also did Math2c and has a 740, and also Chemistry with 700. What are his chances at Geogia Tech, Purdue, RPI and Rochester. We are from Connecticut</p>

<p>bump......bump</p>

<p>Much better at Purdue.</p>

<p>Purdue will be the easiest to get into (85% acceptance rate, 1020-1250 middle 50% SAT), but I'd say he also has a pretty good shot at Georgia Tech (69% acceptance rate). His 29 ACT is pretty solid; it translates roughly to an SAT of 1320-1350 (w/o writing), which should put him somewhere around the median or slightly above for Georgia Tech (1230-1400 middle 50%). His SAT IIs are also quite good. For that matter, RPI's stats are almost identical to Georgia Tech's with only a slightly lower acceptance rate (62%, 1220-1420 middle 50% SAT). Rochester would be the hardest, even though its SATs are quite similar to RPI and Ga Tech (1230-1420 SAT); with its 45% acceptance rate, you'd have to rate it a "reach."</p>

<p>So I'd say:</p>

<p>Reach: U Rochester
Low Reach: RPI
Match: Georgia Tech
Safety: Purdue </p>

<p>But he probably has a decent shot at any of these schools.</p>

<p>Purdue is extremely well known for admitting anyone and then throwing them under a train.</p>

<p>specifically the boilermaker, their mascot</p>

<p>The only think that Purdue suck at are 2 things</p>

<p>1)Location.... Seriously, I am from MA...Where the hell is West Lafayette?
2)Comp Sci and Physical Science are weak.</p>

<p>1)Draw a straight line from Indianapolis to Chicago (3 hrs), divide into thirds, 1/3 to Indy, 2/3 to Chicago.</p>
