Chance Me / Match Me!

I live in an underpopulated western state that doesn’t have an aero major so am applying OOS. I would really appreciate if I could get chanced- not sure if I need to apply to a couple more schools.

Won’t get need-based aid, but I’d like to know if anyone thinks I might get a scholarship, and also if I could get in the honors colleges for the following schools. I have visited all of them:

Purdue
GA Tech
Cal Poly (just a guess but I think my MCA is around 4700)
Penn State
VA Tech
U. Maryland

Thanks a lot, and if anyone has any ideas about safety schools I’d appreciate, I don’t really think any of these are safeties…

You should do fine with Purdue, Penn State and VTech.
GA Tech, Cal Poly and UMaryland (I assume College Park?) are low reach for you but still manageable.
Do you have Weighted GPA? Weghted GPA might give you more accurate information.

Thanks,
No weighted GPA as far as I know, it’s just a scale of 1-100. I think I have all A’s if it is converted to a 4.0 scale, but again, unweighted.

When I did Cal Poly’s MCA my weighted GPA came out to about a 4.15-4.25 depending on what they weight.
