<p>I am interested in Engineering. Probably Mechanical or Aerospace. I want to know what type of schools with good engineering programs I am likely to be accepted to. Ones I have thought about are Georgia Tech, Illinois, Michigan, Purdue... chances... other schools</p>

<p>My GPA up to my Jr. year is a 3.2. I slacked off a lot in my Fr. year...
Freshman - 2.7
Sophomore - 3.3
Junior - 3.6</p>

<p>SAT haven't gotten it back yet but based on my practice test results it will be around 2050.
ACT 31</p>

<p>Extracurriculars - Football 2 years (Fr/So)
Copy/Sports Editor for annual award winning student newspaper
I have had a steady job since SO year. About 18 hours a week during the school year and around 30 a week during the summer. I was promoted to a shift leader (manager) in 4 months. It's a smoothie store.
I also do Martial Arts focusing on Shotokan Karate.</p>

<p>Classes: (I will only include core classes)
Fr. Spanish 2A, Geometry A, Western Civ Honors, Bio A, English 1A
So. Spanish 3A, Algebra 2A, U.S. Government A, Chemistry A, English 2A
Jr. Spanish 4A, Pre-Calc A, A.P. Modern European History, Physics A, (Research & Lit., Contemp. American Lit., Beg. Journalism) <- Semester courses

<p>I go to a high school in CT that was rated the #1 public high school in the state</p>

<p>Thanks for the help</p>

<p>Not Michigan. The average HS HPA for UM is 3.9.</p>

<p>If your GPA stays around 3.2 or you fall a little short on the ACT score, you might want to include some lower ranked schools on your list.</p>

<p>If you make that ACT score and keep the trend in the GPA (making is about 3.4 when apps go out), you’ve got a shot at the schools listed, but will be in the bottom quartile on GPA.</p>

<p>Purdue would be your most likely, with GT and Illinois a little harder, and Michigan a pretty big stretch.</p>

<p>I’d recomend looking into Penn State, its a Big Ten school with a solid engineering program in what you’re looking at.</p>
