<p>I actually don't know my overall GPA/class rank yet, but this would be a worse case (as in slacked more than I expected) scenario:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.0/4.0
Class rank: Would guess 90-110/254
SAT: 620 on critical reading and math, 1740 overall.
ACT: 28 composite</p>

<p>Almost all AP/Honor courses (besides English and a few electives, most notable courses taken are probably AP Calculus, AP Physics, AP Statistics, AP American Government, AP Economics, AP Psychology, AP U.S. History).</p>

<p>Not sure how much Purdue counts essay/personal statement, but mine came out fairly well. Have a good recommendation if Purdue takes them. EC's are decent, nothing spectacular though.</p>

<p>I'm out of state, applying for EE (I'm aware Purdue likes to make it hard and weed out even if you get in, don't plan on making the same mistakes I did in high school however. Willing to take this risk.).</p>

<p>Application should be out mid-to-late October. </p>

<p>Do I have a decent shot? Target school, or like a low reach? Worse?</p>

<p>Your act score is good. But your class rank may damage you though. Gpa is on the lower side. I opine that you should write a brilliant essay and try to explain why your grades went down. You can also request your counselor to Do the same.</p>
