UW 3.25 / ACT of 35 HELP!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>So here's the deal. I have been really worried about admissions to some of the schools I am thinking about. Here are some stats:</p>

<p>Asian (Indian origin)
UW: 3.25
W: 3.97
ACT: 35
ECS: Very solid and 117 Community Service Hours as well as around 3 Piano awards
Rigor of schedueles: MANY MANY honors and APs! I will finish with 9 APs total.
Desired Major: Chemical Engineering</p>

<p>Schools I am interested in:</p>

<p>Penn State- University Park
University of Delaware
University of Maryland--College Park (Resident)
University of Minnesota
Purdue--West Lafeyette
Univerrsity of Illinois--Urbana Champaign
Ohio State--Columbus
North Carolina State University - Raleigh </p>

<p>ALL BY PRIORITY DEADLINE!</p>

<p>I would really appretiate it if you guys could tell me if these are matches/high matches/low reaches/high reaches!
ALSO, some suggestions to other schools would be nice!
Do you also think merit aid is also a possibility???!</p>

<p>UMD: Match
Penn State: Match
UIUC: High match (that’s a huge split)
Ohio State: Low match/Match
NCSU: Low match/Match
Purdue: Low match/Match
UMinn: Match
UDel: Low match</p>

<p>Yeah, I am now thinking o taking UIUC off my list. Thanks!</p>

4

<p>UIUC’s big on GPA, especially for their engineering department, so unfortunately I think you’re chances are slim. The rest are attainable</p>

5

<p>Don’t necessarily take it off the list…you can never fully know unless you apply. It’s good to have some reaches…and even then, UIUC here isn’t a reach for you.</p>

6

<p>Apply as early as possible to these schools to demonstrate interest/increase your chances (most of them have easy apps)…</p>

7

<p>Alright, got it. Thanks! I also kinda need some ideas for safety schools that aren’t all that terrible in ranking ChemE wise. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>If you can afford U Alberta, and scored high on the AP Tests (especially if they are laden with 4s and 5s), then U Alberta becomes a safety.</p>

<p>I’m not sure how U Alberta ranks as a ChemE school/engineering school though!</p>
