Interested in Computer Science or any other Tchnological Engineering program</p>

<p>GPA: 3.9 W (IDK UW)
SAT: 2050 (Best Score)

M - 740
W - 650
2090 (Best composite score)
W increased by 40 points

<p>Don’t forget about Olin!</p>

<p>UCB is a reach. What can your family afford?</p>

4

<p>RPI in Troy, NY near Albany. Could be a match.</p>

5

<p>Your SATs are low for Berkeley eng’g.</p>

<p>@RML - Yeah, UCB is certainly a reach for engineering, expecially for an out of state student right? </p>

<p>@rjkofnovi - Cool name! lol Isn’t Olin super competitive? I would need a near perfect SAT score to get accepted there. haha</p>

<p>Also, the cost is not a factor me and my family.</p>

<p>Someone posted last year’s average SAT scores for Berkeley engineering and it showed the big discrepancy between that college and the rest of the colleges within Berkeley. If I remember it correctly, the average was as high as of Mudd’s, Cornell’s and Stanford’s, suggesting that Berkeley engineering admissions are tough for in-state applicants.</p>

<p>I think you should consider Michigan and Georgia Tech very strongly. Both schools are great for engineering and you have the stats to crack either admissions.</p>
