Which Schools Should I Apply To?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I am looking to study engineering in college. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.06 unweighted, 3.80 Weighted
Senior Year GPA (so far): 3.71
SAT: 2020/2400
ACT: 34/36</p>

<p>I just found out that I got a 34/36 on the ACT with a 35 on English and Math, a 34 on Reading, and a 33 on Science. That was a lot better than I had thought and probably better than the SAT. Currently my list of schools is:</p>

<p>Reach: Northeastern University, Clemson University,
Match: University Of Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, NC State, New Mexico Institute Of Mining & Technology
Safety: Purdue University, University Of Massachusetts-Amherst, Texas A&M University</p>

<p>Should I apply to harder schools or have a few extra safeties as my guidance counselor said before my ACT scores came out? If so, what schools do you suggest?</p>

<p>Where do you live? Do any of your home state public universities have decent engineering programs? If so, with your test scores, that would probably be your cheapest safety.</p>

<p>How much money do you have? Do you need financial aid? You need to sort the money issue out before you make your final list.</p>

<p>I thought I already posted to this thread. Anyways I would say you should apply to two reaches. I would say Rice University Owls and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.</p>
