<p>I would say you're more than qualified for a lot of these schools.</p>

3

<p>Your list should include </p>

<p>Rice University Owls
Virgina Tech Hokies
Georgia Tech Yellowjackets
Purdue University Boilermakers
Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering Phoenix</p>

4

<p>what exactly is your class rank? how hard is your school? how hard was your courseload?</p>

5

<p>Just based on your stats alone, you should be applying to more rigorous schools.</p>

6

<p>I'm ranked 125th out of 250 students (so at the 50th percentile) but my school is in the top 200 high schools in the country.</p>

7

<p>I have taken all honors and AP classes!</p>

8

<p>His GPA is not great. I think his list is a good one, but could stand to add a couple of reaches.</p>

9

<p>sorry my SAT score is incorrect, it's actually 2020</p>

10

<p>considering your academics..i feel your list is more or less OK!!!!No additions!!!!...Does amherst provide engineering degrees????Pardon me for my lack of knowledge!!!!</p>

11

<p>yeah UMass Amherst has engineering, Amherst College does not....those are 2 different schools, UMass is the Massachusetts' state college, Amherst is a private school</p>

12

<p>thanks for updating me!!!!!</p>

<p>in response to your pm, I think you're qualified for all of them, although for the public schools I don't know how hard they are to get into OOS. You only have one school (Northeastern) that has an admit rate of <50%, so you definitely have good chances.</p>

<p>as for Pitt, I would guess that second reviews aren't uncommon for schools with rolling admissions but I'm not sure. there could be a lot of reasons they would do that.</p>

14

<p>ok, thanks for the responses!</p>

15

<p>bump.....please help me!</p>

16
