I want to go into engineering but I feel like Im not competitive enough for direct admission and also Im not 100% sure I want to do engineering. My SAT score is 1710 (1130 CR (630)+Math(530, which is odd because Im a A-/B+ student in math), my weighted gpa is 4.161(out of 5), and unweighted is 3.56 (out of 4.0), Im top 35% in my class (my class is really small, so its hard to move up, Im 52 out of 165), I have gotten a lot of academic awards from the school, and have done volunteering and a senior project that had some leadership requirements (presentation to district officers, superintendent etc). Sadly I have only taken honors, because AP classes are sparse at my school. My schools is fairly new it was made only 6 years ago, but it is the best one around (highest graduation rate in the state).
The schools Im applying to are
Penn State (main choice)
University of Pittsburgh
Rutgers University (2nd choice, although I may not get in because I haven’t met all prerequisites, but I would still like to know)
North Carolina State University (back up choice)
Clemson University
Temple University
Drexel University
Lehigh University
Clemson weighs GPA , rank and test scores the heaviest with ECs and LORs weighed the least. Engineering is one of the most competitive majors at Clemson. You may want to look at the CDS for Clemson to see how you compare to recent admits.
