Essay was interesting, I talked about numbers 7 and 17 (my age) and how it’s different and shaped who I am today.

That’s about it… I really love this school, but I feel like because I’m OOS and my SAT Score, I won’t have a huge chance. Though SAT is optional.

Thanks

All you can do is apply.

Can your parents afford this school?

It is a public university, so financial aid is delineated for their residents and will be an issue if you cannot afford the $60K per year.

Lucky for you, they won’t check your SAT. They are, in most cases, test blind.

Unless you come from an elite HS, your odd are not good. Their OOS acceptance for engineering is 33%.

But apply and see. For ChemE there’s a ton of great programs including Delaware, Minnesota and more.

Hope you have a safety.
