Recommend safety schools for me?

<p>So, no disrespect intended, but what strikes me immediately is that you are not taking AP Calculus, and seem to be ona college prep math track. Is math not your thing? Do you realize how math intensive engineering is?</p>

<p>I think that if you are less mathematically inclined, you might be better off at a less rigorous engineering school, such as Rochester Institute of Technology, or Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston. There are some other one’s that I know less about. </p>

<p>If you meet the following criteria, your should definitely consider the Meyeroff Scholars Program at University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC):

To be considered for the Meyerhoff Scholars Program, prospective students cannot have received lower than a B in any high school science or math course, and many applicants have completed a year or more of calculus. Preference is given to those who have taken advanced placement courses in math and science, have research experience, and have strong references from science or math instructors. In recent years, a strong preference has been given to those students interested in the Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. (over the M.D.).</p>

<p>Students must meet all eligibility requirements:</p>

<pre><code>Minimum of 600 on the Math component of the SAT
Cumulative High School GPA of a 3.0 or above
Aspire to obtain a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in Math, Science, Computer Science, or Engineering
Display commitment to community service
Must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States
</code></pre>

<p>This program is designed as a boot camp for underprivileged kids with high potential. If you don’t meet those criteria, then you won’t get the boot camp, and would be at a disadvantage there. </p>
