<p>Hello! Or should I say, Privet, kak dela? I speak a little Russian and I’m also a first generation immigrant, but from Turkey! Overall, you have a great shot for almost all the schools you mentioned. The GPA when weighted is great! Your ECs are also amazing. Your courses seem challenging as well. </p>

<p>Arcadia University-Safety
Bucknell University-Match
Carnegie Mellon University-Low Match
Drexel University-Safety
Franklin and Marshall College-Low Match
Johns Hopkins University-Low Match
Lehigh University-Match
Swarthmore College-Low Reach
University of Pennsylvania-Low Reach

<p>Good luck!
Chance me back? Chance me for University of Rochester? I’ll Chance back :)</p>

<p>Your unweighted GPA is pretty low, as is your ranking for UPenn/NYU/Swarthmore/JHU.
You’ll get into Drexel/Arcadia. An average chance at Carnegie Mellon/LeHigh, simply because of your GPA. If you retake your SAT and do better, that’d be nice also. Good luck though, apply ED somewhere for a better chance!</p>

<p>The SAT is also great!</p>

<p>Even though your weighted is a little low, those schools will see the intense rigor of your classes, admissions will give you a lot of credit for doing that. Your extracurriculars (very important) are fantastic and that will put you ahead of everyone else with your same grades. You’re going to have a tough choice to make on which of these you want to go to with all your stats!</p>

<p>(rechance back if you can)</p>

<p>White male from North Dakota applying to schools in the Midwest without financial aid needs, and trying to get into, not only a great engineering (specifically mech., comp., aero.) school, but a school with other highly ranked programs such as architecture or business. I also want the general “college campus” feel that I got when I visited Purdue (if you’ve been there you’ll know what I mean). So…</p>

<p>With a -29 ACT score (28ENG,28MATH,30READ,25SCI,8WRIT)

  • Unweighted 3.87 cumulative GPA
  • AP Chemistry, AP Physics, AP Calculus AB, AP Computer Programming, Spanish1-3
  • Varsity golf(all-state,captain), tennis, spanish club, Philanthropy&Youth club, volunteering @ Humane Society, and Eagle Scout
  • Some recommendations, a great essay, and some charm…</p>

<p>What are my chances at getting into the engineering schools of

  1. PURDUE UNIVERSITY - WEST LAFAYETTE
  2. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - MADISON
  3. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA - TWIN CITIES
  4. UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS - URBANA-CHAMPAIGN
  5. UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN - ANN ARBOR
  6. IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY - AMES</p>

<p>Don’t have to rate my chances for all, but a few would be greatly appreciated! (campus descriptions welcome!)</p>

6

<p>Arcadia, bucknell, Lehigh, and franklin and Marshall are low matches. Wait maybe Lehigh is a match I’m too familiar. Nyu and Carnegie Mellon are both slightly higher matches. Jhu, swathmire, and Upenn. Are all reaches.</p>

<p>You might want to consider some higher level state schools like umass or the some ucs but you should get into to mutiple schools on your list.</p>

Carnegie Mellon University - Match
Drexel University - Safety
Franklin and Marshall College - Match
Johns Hopkins University - High Match/Low Reach
Lehigh University - Match
Swarthmore College - Reach

<p>Here is what I think. You can definitely increase your chances by writing awesome essays, but after that it’s pretty much all luck. So, good luck!!</p>

<p>Arcadia, Drexel safeties
Swarth, UPenn, Carnegie, JHU reaches
Bucknell, F&M, NYU, Lehigh match</p>

<p>Your ECs are really good, might want to retake the SAT. Your classes definitely show rigor which may forgive a bit for your good, but not great GPA. Are you First gen. for college?</p>

<p>bump, anyone??</p>

<p>I’m only going to chance you for colleges that I’m familiar with :p</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon University - Low Reach
Drexel University - Match
Johns Hopkins University - High Match
Lehigh University - High Match
Swarthmore College - Reach
University of Pennsylvania -Reach
New York University - High Match</p>

<p>If you get your SATs up to 23+ to make up for a low GPA, I think you’ll be in at more than 1/2 of your schools.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Okay, SAT is great. UPenn is definitely a reach. All others are matches. Kudos to pretty solid stats.</p>

<p>Arcadia University- idk
Bucknell University- low match
Carnegie Mellon University- match
Drexel University- safety
Franklin and Marshall College- safety
Johns Hopkins University- match
Lehigh University- low match
Swarthmore College- high match
University of Pennsylvania- low reach
New York University- low match</p>

<p>good luck! I think ED U Penn could definitely help your chances and change it from a reach to a match.</p>

<p>thanks everyone! the feedback has been really helpful</p>

<p>Unfortunately, your c will probably hurt your chances at some of your schools, but you’re still in the top 10th percentile, so hopefully it won’t matter too much. Good luck!</p>
