<p>So, I’ve applied to mechanical engineering at Cal Poly SLO, UCSD, UCLA and Rose-Hulman, and to computer science at Berkeley. I plan on applying to Case Western and University of Michigan for mechanical engineering as well. I’m pretty worried that my 800 Math II Subject Test won’t make up for my bad SAT Math. Cal Poly, which was meant to be my safety, doesn’t even consider Subject Tests, so I’m not sure about my chances there. </p>
<p>Anyway, chance me! (And possibly give me some safety suggestions.) Of course, I’ll chance you back.</p>
