@1234PJ4321, what else are you looking to hear?
@eyemgh more schools
OP - Your question is too vague, without any insight about your interests or stats. Community Colleges are usually very affordable and pretty easy to get into. Without knowing more, that’s my default answer to your very general question.
@colorado_mom Well, I want to do Mech. E and go to grad school for Aero. E. I also know people who went to Med school after Mech. E, so that is also an option. CCs are not an option for me. I had around a 3.4 cummulative from what I know. Great ECs and 150+ hours. Didn’t take SATs yet.
Any chance you took the PSAT? If so, multiply by 10 to guess-timate SAT.
If med school interests you, know that big factors are MCAT scores and college GPA. Keeping a high GPA in engineering can be a challenge,
@colorado_mom I got around an 1850 then. I know, but the thing is, if I love something, I put my heart and soul.
That’s a good score for a lot of schools, 123. From your post I was afraid you were not a good tester.
@1234PJ4321, there are lots of schools that you could get into with your GPA and predicted SAT score (scores tend to rise about 100 points simply from being a year older). Help us narrow down a list by telling us more about what you’re looking for. We’ve got the academics. What about non-academic issues? Region of the U.S.? Weather? Size? Does the “typical college experience” like football weekends matter to you? Hobbies? Outdoor activities? Answer some or all of those and add anything else you might feel is helpful and you’ll get better answers.
@eyemgh northeast but I dont have a certain weather preference. I want to go to a college with a medium to large. I want the typical college experience with a lot of freedom in a good college town. I like photography, foodie, traveling, chilling etc.
I wanna go to a college with a lot of school spirit as well
Look at Rutgers, Rowan, UMass-Amherst, Pitt, Penn State, University of New Hampshire, University of Maine and University of Vermont. Then for the curveball, WPI. That ought to at least get you started.
Another hint - look at NPC (Net Price Calculators) on college websites to get a feel for whether you’d qualify for need based Financial Aid.
Hate your question. But how about Widener or Delaware?
@SpacemanEd why do you hate it
The way it read looked like you were trying to sneak into a profession you weren’t really cut out to be in, sort of like going to medical school in the Caribbean. After you posted more, I realized that’s not really what you meant. You were asking where in the NE can a kid with a 3.7 and 1950 SAT get in. Those are hardly bottom of the barrel credentials.
It read like a slacker question. Don’t want no slackers. Max Headroom aka eyemgh got it right.
University of Akron’s engineering school is super easy to get into. It’s nearly impossible not get into both the normal college itself and the engineering school. It is my school, and although I think it’s kind of stupid that it’s so easy to get into, the program itself is an extremely good engineering school. It’s actually one of the best. Their students continuously beat students from places like MIT in engineering competitions. And their co-op program is very well known and good. You will get a co-op unless you have like a 0.0 GPA and you will probably have a job after graduating too.

Before you bump again, please meet with your parents to understand your financial constraints. Our suggestions will depend on whether you need need based Financial Aid or merist scholarships (or neither). NPC can help you plan.
