The 25%-75% SAT range for the most recent accepted class at Stevens was 1340-1510, with the average SAT being 1420. The average high school GPA of that class was 3.88. While Stevens didn’t indicate the ACT range, this corresponds to an ACT of approximately 30-33. While Stevens does not set hard and fast cutoffs for SAT/ACT or GPA, most of the accepted students, to be competitive, had scores in these ranges. I would strongly recommend you try to get your GPA and SAT/ACT scores up into those ranges. Do your best in your remaining year and a half in high school (which will of course benefit you regardless of which school you may attend). Try to get into the AP calculus and/or physics if you can. If that is not doable, take calculus in your senior year. For CS, Stevens recommends one year of precalculus and one year of calculus.

I think your best bets will be NJIT, Drexel, and UMass Lowell. Any interest in Rowan??
