<p>Applying to UC’s together would be better and easy And offers good mix of dream and reachable.
The scores of 10 & 12 are low. Difficult to get in to G tech.
Rather try for a bit lower dream unis.
Refer to USN news ranking for that
TRY ED.</p>

<p>there are no safety grad schools. Do you have the means to pay? If so, maybe there are ones that would take that into acct.</p>

<p>Yes, do apply to some lower tier schools.</p>

<p>Often, those that are applying to Eng’g grad schools have perfect Q scores. The V is less important to STEM schools. </p>

<p>could u suggest some lower tier schools??</p>

<p>Try UA-Huntsville Very good with Eng’g and CS Likely easier to get into.</p>
