<p>your SAT is quite low, for the engineering school especially. your top 5% ranking is good, maybe try getting it up to top 3% if you can during your first semester of senior year (of course this doesn’t apply if you are planning to ED)</p>

<p>your first gen status is a help. and RETAKE that SAT! try and get 700+ on all sections if you can</p>
