Need college suggestions! Looking to aim at reaches because my SAT is much higher than my GPA.

College Search & Selection
1

Hi, and thanks for looking at me! I’m looking for schools with engineering programs, preferably in a large city with a larger student body.

Here’s my grades:

GPA 3.25 (3.4-3.5 junior year) - All standard level classes, but I’m taking 3 APs and 1 honors class next year.
SAT 2090 (1420 CR and Math)

Extracurriculars:

Tennis freshman to junior year so far
XCountry junior year so far
Frisbee club sophomore to junior year so far
Chess club sophomore to junior year so far (tbh I think I’ve played two games of chess but that’s besides the point)
Scouts (getting eagle this summer)

Some of my favorites are BU and Northeastern so far, and they’re a little reachy but not too much.

Look at Drexel, U Mass Amherst, CU Boulder, Texas A&M.

I’m definitely applying to Drexel and UMass Amherst, dunno about those other two but they aren’t bad looking.

What was wrong with the suggestions on your previous thread? http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1771565-need-some-suggestions-for-schools-to-apply-to.html#latest You could have bumped that for some additional inputs.

Temple would fit all of your requirements.

Sorry, I just wanted a fresh perspective, and college selection is kinda freaking me out (even though it’s summer) haha
