Where else should I apply?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>So far I have been accepted to Purdue, applied to Duke, UC Berkeley, and will apply to Northwestern, Case Western Reserve, RPI, and Oregon State...I want to major in Computer Engineering and I have no idea where else I should apply? </p>

<p>GPA- 4.0 unweighted.....
Rank- 1/392
My SAT superscore is 2060
I have taken the SAT II's, did terribly (590 chem, 640 Math 2)
My ACT score comes in next week ( probably a 30+ )</p>

<p>So where should I apply? Assuming my EC's are good, as well as my essays and recs....</p>

<p>Any help guys?</p>

<p>Good job on getting accepted to Purdue! It’s a pretty good school for engineering :slight_smile: I think you have pretty good chances at the schools you already listed but here are some more…</p>

<p>Ranked Top 10
Stanford, but that’s always a stretch ;).
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) (I got accepted with a 3.87 GPA and 30ACT, you can get in :))
University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
Georgia Institute of Technology
California Insitute of Technology, also a stretch
Cornell, stretch</p>

<p>Ranked Top 20
University of Wisconsin - Madison
University of Minnesota - Twin Cities</p>

<p>Purdue was your safety… please, reconsider Oregon State.</p>

<p>Duke: Reach
Berkeley: High match (even if OOS full-pay)
NWU: Reach
Case Western: Match
Oregon State: Safety (it’s a safety at 3.4/1610 with the ECs you’ve got)
RPI: Low match</p>

<p>I hear good things about Georgia Tech for engineering and computer science. </p>

<p>As far as the Ivies go, there’s definitely Columbia and Cornell. Even if you think you’re a weak applicant, you have nothing to lose by applying!</p>

<p>@catria, are you saying oregon state is a bad school? Just wondering because I am in Oregon, and I would likely get a full ride… But Purdue is currently my safety…</p>

6

<p>I’m not asking you to reconsider Oregon State anymore if there’s a chance for you to get a full-ride from it.</p>

<p>Haha okay…Yeah my parents want me to apply there, and I dont favor it over Purdue, but my app is basically finished soo why not?</p>

<p>I hope my ACT is good, then I will have a higher shot at Duke/NU/Cornell/etc…</p>

<p>bump please…</p>

<p>bump again guys</p>

<p>I need some advice people!</p>

11

<p>It’s a little strange that your school record is impeccable yet your SATs are not so great. I think you should apply to more top engineering programs that you like.</p>

12

<p>I just got my ACT results back… a 31! So that’s definitely better than my SAT right?</p>

13

<p>bump…should i try for cmu? anyone?</p>

14

<p>ACT’s are right in the middle of CMU same with SAT’s. As long as you have good EC’s and essays, I think you have a reach to high-match-ful chance at getting into CMU.</p>

15

<p>thanks! I hope I get in!</p>

16

<p>Can CMU match Oregon’s financial package?</p>

17

<p>RPI has changed for a safety…</p>

18

<p>Well oregon state has not officially offered me money yet…but If i get into cmu, I would need significant aid…Most colleges will adjust offers for my “special” circumstance i think</p>
