Both the SAT and GPA are low for Tech. Sorry - it's a reach.

Out of curiosity, what's the breakdown on the SAT? If you have a very high Math and it's the Writing that's a little lower, that will help. Also, any plans to take AP Calc your senior year?

You should improve your rigor starting with math and science. I'd also get your SAT up (2000+, 1300+ M+R, 700+ in Math), starting with Math.

Are you out-of-state or in-state? It says Connecticut on your profile, so I'm going to assume.

Based on just GPA, SAT, extracurricular stats, I'd say slight reach.

But, Hispanic descent certainly helps and that should put you over the edge to a "good" chance.
