Chance Me (D25) for Env Eng or Sci at larger universities. [NJ resident, 3.7 GPA, 1500 SAT, 33 ACT]

Please note that I am not a college admissions professional; I am just an interested parent. Below are my guesses as to what your D’s chances might be at the colleges on the list, assuming she applies as an environmental science major. If she applies as an environmental engineering major, however, her chances will decrease, sometimes significantly (like Purdue), since engineering is a much more competitive major.

  • Indiana

  • Rutgers

  • U. of Colorado
