You are off to a great start. Keep working hard. Keep the grades and rigor up and come back in a year.

Assuming you deliver stat wise as you show, your safeties and likelies would be safe.

But u r far too early. And your list is not ‘consistent’. Very different schools.

Keep it up and check back in a year.

Thanks

Regarding Purdue, if you go to the user-interactive Purdue Data Digest, here, https://www.purdue.edu/datadigest/, look under “Applications, Admits, and Matriculations” and also under “New First-Time Beginner Profile”. There may be some useful information for you there that impacts your assessment of chances for admission.

Also, if you look at the Common Data Set for Purdue, here, Common Data Set - Institutional Data Analytics + Assessment - Purdue University, Sections C9-C11 provide information about test scores and GPA for matriculating undergraduate students at Purdue. Again, it may give you some insights into your admissions chances (although engineering and computer science students at Purdue are probably going to have higher GPAs and test scores than many other freshman applicants there).

I would check the Common Data Sets for all of the schools that you are interested in, and compare your updated test scores and GPA over time until it is time to apply.

University of Arizona should be a safety for admission to the school if “you attended a regionally accredited high school and: Rank in the top 25% of your graduating class, OR Have a 3.0 unweighted GPA through your sixth semester in the core competency requirements.”

You may want to check with the department(s) of your desired major(s) to see if there are higher admission standards for admission to the major(s).

Keep that 4.0 and you will have a full-tuition scholarship at the University of Arizona.
