Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>“I’m looking at Berkeley and Cornell level schools. My friends and teachers all tell me I can do better.”
Do your friends and teachers realize that Berkeley is the #3 engineering school in the US (and the #1 public school in the US) only beaten by Stanford and MIT. It’s ranked even higher than Caltech in engineering. Cornell is also ranked 2nd for Engineering Physics. Don’t underestimate either school. (<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/engineering”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/engineering&lt;/a&gt;)</p>

<p>That being said if you bring up that ACT score -or get a higher corresponding SAT score- you should have a shot at Stanford, MIT, Caltech, Princeton, etc. However remember that those schools have really low acceptance rates (like 5%) so don’t be disappointed if you don’t get accepted. </p>

<p>You might also want to consider applying to Georgia Tech (5th overall engineering and 2nd Aerosppace/Aeronautical/Astronautical Engineering) which has a really high acceptance rate (somewhere around 40%) for such a highly ranked school. </p>

<p>I think you should just go to your local community college. Your stats are laughable and ECs are dreadful. You stand zero chance to get into any high level institution. No, probably not any low level institution either. You might not even finish high school so why are you even looking at college already? I can feel the rejection letters coming all the way from here.</p>

Now that I think about it, you’re right, I think I’ll ditch my hopes for MIT and replace them with ITT. I hear they’re got great tuition rates…</p>

<p>You seem to be on the right track and like how the others said —you can do better! Could you please chance me as well?
