<p>Also, I am curious how to convert my GPA to UW and W on the the 0-4 scale.</p>

5

<p>I think your in at RPI…sorry i don’t know how to convert gpa</p>

6

<p>Thanks, my main concern is that my Math SAT score is too low for a prospective engineering major.</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>I have decided on the schools to which I am applying: Binghamton, Clarkson, RPI, Villanova, Lafayette, Union, and Northeastern.</p>

<p>I consider all of these schools matches, with Clarkson being a safety because of its 79% acceptance rate, relatively low test scores, and because of the fact that I received the Clarkson Achievement Award and interviewed there.</p>

<p>So, should I apply to a school like Cornell as a reach, or is it not even worth it with my low test scores?</p>
