<p>I'm an A average student from Wyoming. I've got one B and all of my other grades are A's. What would be some good schools to look at for engineering and physics? I am looking at some better colleges right now that I am not certain of getting into but I think I have a chance. These are Caltech, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, and University of California at Berkley. Some others that I think I stand a better chance at are University of Michigan, Texas A&M, University of Pittsburgh, and Colorado School of Mines. Are these all good schools for engineering and physics majors? What other colleges should I look at?</p>
<p>Considering GPA, 32 ACT, and top 10% of class, what should I look at for reaches/matches/safeties? Also, do I need to take the SAT for these colleges?</p>
<p>University of Michigan, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, UC - Berkeley, California Institute of Technology are all superb schools for engineering and physics. All these colleges accept the ACT. Here are my opinions:</p>
<p>Cornell: Slight Reach
Carnegie Mellon: High Match
UC Berkeley: Slight Reach
California Institute of Technology: Reach
University of Michigan: Match/Safety Match
University of Pittsburgh: Safety
Texas A&M: Safety
Colorado School of Mines: Safety</p>
