I'm a current senior, I came to America four yrs ago without knowing any English.but I am a us citizen( I just grow up in China). I m in a all girl school right now. freshmen year I hv a2.5 GPA, but now I hv a 4.05(weighted) GPA. Because of my language issue, I only get a 1740 SAT( CR:450, Math:770, Writing:520). And a 25 on ACT.
I did around 200 hours for volunteering. In school orchestra for four years, school badminton varsity team 3 years,
I joined the architecture club, GEM club( girl enjoy math). I was the founder of my school astronomy club.
If there is anyone can help me to chance abt those universities.

I'm really nervous about applying to college. I really want to go to a good university but my freshment year GPA and my sat score doesn't really match lots of the good universities. I don't know if they will take the consider of that I just learned English by myself( I didn't go to any ESL classes or A level).
There are the schools I'm considering to apply. If there r anyone hv other suggestions, please feel free to say it. Thank you so much....

Boston university
Northeastern university
UMass Amherst
Syracuse University
Penn State university Park
Drexel university
University of Pittsburgh
University of buffalo(wasn't sure yet )
Lehigh university
Cornell university( this is my dream school, I know 99% chance I'm not gonna get in, but still worth to try).

By the way, I want to do mechanical engineering in college.

Iam just wondering what does low match mean? Is it mean I have lower chance to get in or the opposite?

Low match means a higher chance of getting in.
