ah… I live in Nevada, Reno and my current GPA is 3.754 out of 4, currently taking 5 AP classes and took 3 last year.
My SAT score was 470, 750, 560 (CR, M, WR) =1780
I tried my best on my college essays
have tremendous extra curriculum activities: Key club, VP of Debate club, Badminton, JV-Basketball team, Math Tutor…etc
I applied/applying to…
Virginia Tech
UC Irvine
UCLA (Not expecting to get in)
University of Texas at Austin
University of Denver
Purdue University
Texas Tech
Georgia Tech (not expecting to get in either)
University of Washington

Could you guys chance me pleasee :confused: If these colleges are too reckless for me to apply, could you guys suggest me some colleges to apply? I’m planning on majoring in Industrial Engineering

UCI: Low Reach
UCLA: High Reach

@Gumbymom Thank you for being very honest and what do you think about other schools?

4

You do know that yesterday was the last day to apply to the UCs right?

5

oh yeah! I actually applied yesterday:) but still want to know the chances I’d get in

6

Not sure about the others, but UT will be very hard to get into for engineering, ESPECIALLY if you’re out of state. Although the university itself isn’t ranked as high, Cockrell Engineering School is, so I’d say it’s a reach.

7

@neoking Thank you man, and I’ll look up cockrell Engineering school.

8

@undeewear Cockrell Engineering school is the engineering program at UT Austin. I meant to say that the university itself isn’t among the top ten in the nation, but its engineering program is among the top ten engineering programs in the nation (of course beaten by MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Berkeley, Stanford, etc), making it a reach school.

9

@Neoking oh I see what you meant now, thanks for letting me know!

10

UT, UWashington, UCLA aren’t happening.
Apply to NM Tech, Cal Poly SLO, and MO School of Engineering and Technology, they’d be safety to low match.
What’s your budget and have you checked with your parents that they can afford whatever the NPC shows?

11

OP, Cal Poly SLO would probably not be a Match either but Cal Poly Pomona would be a Match if you had applied since the deadline has passed.

12

Can u afford these publuc universities OOS?

13

University of Denver, Purdue, and Texas Tech are all in reach. Purdue’s probably the best of those 3 for engineering. Virginia Tech is a coin toss (50/50). Hopefully it all works

14

If you can’t afford the OOS tuition, then it is an entirely pointless waste of time, money, aggravation to apply.

15

Should I not goto a college

16

Or I guess I can goto a community college

17

I would recommend UNR. Seeing as you live in nevada and you have a decent gpa, you qualify for the Governor Guinn Millennium Scholarship. This can reduce the cost of college significantly. Considering that unr has an 83% acceptance rate and you are instate. You can go there for below the sticker value.

I got admitted to University of Washington-seattle, Virginia Tech, Purdue U, Denver, UTA, TT, and UCI, thanks for commenting everyone!

19

Where did you decide to go?

20

I decided to goto Purdue:)
