<p>Vanderbilt- reach
Dartmouth- reach
Cal Poly San Louis Obispo- match
Lehigh- match
UMICH- reach
CU BOULDER- match</p>

<p>I think your chances are very high for the stated match schools, but Vandy, Dartmouth and Umich are never sure for anyone. You have good EC’s, but your application might depend on how good your essay and teacher recommendations are. Good luck!</p>

<p>P.S. its okay if you post your link to have people chance you, but please don’t spam by posting it without chancing that person. You are asking people to chance for you without doing them that favor first. Just quickly chance the person before you post your link or don’t post the link at all. Thanks!</p>

<p>Vanderbilt- reach
Dartmouth- very high reach
Cal Poly San Louis Obispo- low reach to match depending on major
Lehigh- don’t know
UMICH- high reach
CU BOULDER- match</p>

<p>Just as a base line, Cal Poly, CA public non-doctorate university: </p>

<p>2010 Engineering freshman admission stats:</p>

<p>Avg GPA: 4.03
Avg ACT: 31
Avg SAT: 1372 out of 1600 (M+CR only)</p>

<p>You can extrapolate from here what Dartmouth or U of M will require for engineering (obviously north of Cal Poly’s averages).</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
