<p>My school has a partnership with drexel which makes it easier to get in. I go to a top public HS (#1 in south jersey).</p>

<p>I think you are on target for admission to Drexel. Check this info from Drexel’s admissions website.

<p>I have seen that, however, it is harder to get into engineering. That’s what I am curious about.</p>

<p>About 1/3 of Drexel students are engineering majors, so I would think those stats are fairly representative of engineering majors. However, if you are concerned, I’d suggest calling Drexel and talking to an admissions advisor. Also, you can check with your high school guidance counselor as they probably have a good idea of the track record of students from your school who have gotten accepted to Drexel. Overall, you may as well apply and find out. Drexel’s application is free so the only cost is to send your SAT scores. Good luck and I think you have a good chance.</p>

<p>You have a good chance for sure. I got in with lower stats so nothing to worry about.</p>
