<p>I'm a Sophomore at NJIT Honors College majoring in Electrical Engineering with double minor in astrophysics and finance. I skipped a semester so I am looking to apply for '13 Fall. So my question is, I really don't know where I stand as of now. First of all, here are my stats,</p>

<p>High school stats
- 3.8 Weighted GPA (out of 4.3)
- SAT: 740M 540R 620W (1900 superscore)
- SAT2: 800M2C
- AP Physics C, Calc BC, Psych, Micro
- Bunch of volunteering, leadership positions</p>

<p>College stats
- EE major in honors college
- Minor in Finance and Astrophysics
- 3.75 GPA (out of 4) (one C+ in english)
- A's in ALL major-related courses (math & physics & etc)
- Involved in an electric car project with IEEE
- Leadership position in astronomy club</p>

<p>Other
- Male asian.
- Low income bracket</p>

<p>Could someone rate the below colleges on how appropriate it is for me? Something like Reach/Match/Safety next to the schools would be really be appreciated. The list is from US News top engineering schools & couple other personal picks.</p>

<ul>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>UC Berkeley</li>
<li>GIT</li>
<li>U Illinois Urbana</li>
<li>U Michigan Ann Arbor</li>
<li>Caltech</li>
<li>Cornell</li>
<li>Carnegie Mellon</li>
<li>Purdue West Lafayette</li>
<li>Cooper Union</li>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>Drexel</li>
<li>Northwestern</li>
<li>Rutgers New Brunswick</li>
<li>Virginia Tech</li>
<li>Penn State University Park</li>
</ul>

<p>Some of these probably induce some LOLs but I really don't know where I stand as of now and I need your help to pick about 5 schools to apply to. Please keep in mind this is a transfer application.</p>

<p>Thanks in advanced!</p>

<p>You don’t give your state of residence, but since you say that you are low income, you should be aware that you will be close to full pay as an OOS student at any of the publics you have listed. And that can range up to 50k/yr for schools like UMichigan and UCB. </p>

<p>And that leaves you with privates that are all very selective, with perhaps a match or two, but no safeties.</p>
