<p>Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated, especially those in the west and/or on the west coast.</p>
<p>Realizing this thread is old, but if you’re still looking for input…</p>
<p>I’d say your chances are pretty good. Your GPA lower (although for OSU not that low), but not horrible considering a competitive Catholic prep school. Plus your SAT is pretty high for OSU.</p>
<p>A note on mechanical engineering: at Oregon State you are accepted to the university as a whole as a freshman, as opposed to being accepted to ME in particular. For your first two years or so you take pre-engineering classes. After you have all your pre-engineering classes done, you apply to the professional engineering school (pro-school), which is competitive and (I believe) based on your GPA for pre-engineering courses. So in other words, once you’re in at OSU, you’ve got a couple years before you have to be accepted to the mechanical engineering major (this is true for all engineering majors at OSU).</p>
