<p>Right now I am a senior and I have no clue where I am going to college and I need as much help as I can get.
My parents total income is below 35K and I will need a school that can offer me 100% need.</p>
<p>I am looking for a good school for Chemical Engineering or Environmental Engineering.</p>
<p>I have a 4.0 GPA UW, 4.75 W
29 ACT
WAY TO MANY EC to list but vary including
Varsity football 3 years, weight lifting, track. NHS, SGA, key club , interact club, prom committee, robotics team, work experience with accounting etc.</p>
<p>I really need as much help as I can get. Any suggestions I'll be greatly appreciated! Thank You</p>
<p>Your other thread says your ACT is 25; is it currently 25 or 29?</p>
<p>Have you thought about any of the UC’s or the Cal Polys? You can apply for FAFSA and Cal Grants in order to get grants, and with your scores I think you should highly consider it </p>
<p>UC what? Sb, Berkeley, Davis, Irvine?</p>
<p>I think you’re a good fit for UCLA, UCSD and maybe Berkeley. Have you taken the SAT? </p>
<p>No only ACT. It suits my strengths </p>
<p>Berkeley is one of the bests for chemical engineering, and so is UCSB, and they’re pretty inexpensive for the education you’re getting. If you’re not looking for schools in California, then schools such a Cornell, Purdue, or even MIT, which will probably be reach. MIT is completely need-blind which is good for financial aid, but the acceptance rate is like 10%
Are there any states you’re looking at specifically or are you pretty open? </p>
<p>I really like the West and the north east. Do you really think it is worth my time applying to the schools when I only have a 29 ACT?</p>
<p>UCSB you could get into, at least in my belief. MIT probably not, but Purdue is a 50/50. Write some kick ass essay’s that match your gpa, and you’re good. If you’re concerned with the ACT score retake it. I really suggest applying to the Cal Poly’s though. You’re ACT is only part of the acceptance process, show them why you deserve to be there. </p>
<p>What about other east coast schools?</p>
<p>University of Penn. Virginia Tech University of Maryland - College Park Stony Brook all have pretty established engineering programs. Even Delaware or Rutgers in New Jersey all have really good chemical engineering programs. Most of these colleges I would say you have a pretty decent chance of getting into. There’s a lot of schools on the east coast that I would think would fit you. If you’re looking for a school with major school spirit and like the “average” college experience, I’d say Maryland, Stony Brook is located in long island I believe, so it’s smaller college but right by New York City </p>
<p>I believe that you can get into Virginia Tech, and University of Maryland - College Park, although it will be harder to get into Maryland because I believe their early action is about to close and they accept like 90% of people who apply under that. University of Penn. is probably the most difficult on that list to get into </p>
<p>Okay thank you! How about Minnesota TC</p>
<p>Sorry for such a late reply, but I know for grad schools it’s one of the best for engineering so it’d be a great way to get your foot in the door</p>
