Thanks everyone for your responses. So @merc81 are you saying that a match is when your grades are above the 75 percentile or is that a safety? Also @MYOS1634 Do you mean any national university ranked 40-125 or LAC? and @BUalum93 I considered applying to a top tier school- not sure which- but I’m still considering my real chances. btw are you a Boston university alumnus? Because I am considering going there because of their strong engineering program and generous grants. Do you think I have a good shot?
