<p>Hard to say without an SAT.</p>

<p>I’d say definitely look at Carnegie Mellon University in pittspurgh. Of course, a portion will depend on your SAT’s but as long as you score well (around 2000?) you’ll have a shot. Work on bringing your GPA up as much as possible, and keep showing commitment in your engineering EC’s. My suggestion would’ve been to take the March SAT and study a ton during winter break, but if you’ve studied over summer, Dec could work for you. Good luck!</p>

<p>Without your SAT/ACT scores, it is hard to tell for sure. I agree with CMU. I would recommend the following schools:</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon University
Cornell University
Purdue University-West Lafayette
Rice University
University of Florida
University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign
University of Maryland-College Park
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of Wisconsin-Madison</p>

<p>But half of those schools will require a minimum of 2000 on the SAT or 28 on the ACT.</p>
