<p>Hello. I am going to be applying to schools for engineering in the fall and have already found several good matches but I want to make sure I didnt miss any that may possibly be a good fit. So far ive narrowed it down to Va Tech, UVa, and Maryland as my Match schools and have UPenn and Cornell(Legacy) as my reach schools. Please let me know if you have any suggestions of other schools I should research or if you have any comments on the schools ive already listed or my chances to get into them.</p>
