<p>*the most widespread piece of advice ive gotten was raise your SAT scores. Ive done just that. So i was curious what a jump of 90 pts changes.</p>
<p>I’m a senior from NH looking to go into engineering.</p>
<p>GPA- 4.0 out of 4.8
SAT’s- 630 math 610 reading 680 writing
<strong><em>SAT’s- 690 Math 640 Reading 650 Writing</em></strong>*</p>
<p>So, the 690 Math 640 Reading 650 Writing is your latest test results? you now have a 1330 M+CR SAT. Congrats on the improvement. :)</p>
<p>Your ECs are rather meaningless for these OOS publics. These schools mostly admit by stats. </p>
<p>Anything above Clemson is too much and even Clemson is relatively high. And in terms of financial aid… I understand It’s unlikely I’d get any.</p>
<p>If I remember correctly, your parents want you to keep your costs around $30k or less. If that’s true then your list just won’t work…except for WVU.</p>
<p>If you truly want to keep to your parents’ budget then you have to apply to schools that will be affordable. These schools aren’t going to give you aid. And, most won’t give you any merit money. You’re considering adding GT? Why? It costs $40k and won’t help you at all. </p>
<p>I realize that you’re happy with your new SAT results, but you need to include schools that will give you merit for your stats so that your education will be affordable.</p>
