<p>bump 10 char</p>

3

<p>Cornell -doubtful
UVA-probably
Berkeley-probably
Duke- maybe
JHU- probably
Notre Dame-probably
Princeton- no
Tufts- probably</p>

4

<p>*Cornell ED and probably UVA/UND EA, if that matters</p>

5

<p>bump…GPA without frosh year is a 4.0 and I’m OOS for Cal and UVA</p>

6

<p>if youre interested in engineering, check out uofi, great engineering program, one of best in country, relatively easy to get in with your stats</p>

7

<p>illinois or indiana?</p>

<p>sorry for lack of clarification, university of illinois urbana champaign; look it up! it’s a great opportunity for engineering! btw, would you mind chancing me? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1316158-range-me-spin-off-chance.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1316158-range-me-spin-off-chance.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Cornell: Reach
UVA: Reach if out of state, High match if in state
Berkeley: Low reach
Duke: Low reach
JHU: Reach
Notre Dame: Match
Princeton: High reach
Tufts: Match</p>

<p>would a 2300 substantially help over my 2240?</p>

<p>bump
further revisions:
UCB
UCLA
UCSB
Cornell ED
Duke ED
Princeton SCEA
UVA EA
USC</p>

<p>i know the early options that i’ve listed conflict; i’m just entertaining different options</p>

13

<p>I’d back excitedforlife’s suggestion. Your stats seem to match University of Illinois UC’s engineering program’s criteria. Fantastic engineering program, and though tough to get into, your stats make it seem like you’ll have a good chance. Good luck!</p>

14

<p>i’ll look into it

i’m debating between Duke ED, Cornell ED, and Princeton SCEA. either of the EDs would include my applying to UVA EA.</p>

15

<p>I’d go Cornell ED. Princeton is a far reach.</p>
