<p>You have a shot at some good engineering programs. If your ACT/SATs are really lopsided, with math being much higher, you may want to look at schools like CMU and Lehigh and other techie schools. MIT has a great summer engineering program for minorities, it's free, don't know if it's too late to apply but that would really be a great intro and impressive to a lot of schools.</p>

<p>What about Rice? I got accepted with a lower ACT score. And if you studied you could easily pull your ACT up to a 30 or higher.</p>
