East Coast colleges

<p>I was wondering what East Coast colleges i would be able to get in with or at least be a reach with a 1780 SAT, 31 ACT, 3.74 UW GPA and 4.21 W. The reason I ask this is because I am over on the West coast but would like to go back east for an engineering major.</p>

<p>1780 SAT with a 31 ACT? That seems kinda weird…</p>

3

<p>Ya i know. That is what worries me.</p>

4

<p>All schools take the ACT in lieu of the SAT. So forget about the SAT and use your ACT scores only.</p>

5

<p>except many schools will require some sort of sat 2</p>

<p>Reach
MIT</p>

<p>Reasonable Reach if they ignore your sat score and only look at your act</p>

<p>Cornell, CMU, JHU, Rice, Duke, Northwestern(not really east coast though)</p>

<p>Matches and safeties
georgia tech, wpi, northeastern, boston university, rpi, rit, virginia tech, umd,</p>

6

<p>Carnegie Mellon</p>

7

<p>What math courses have you taken and what are the grades in them? What are your math scores on the SAT, ACT? Engineering schools tend to focus on those items.</p>

8

<p>8th(took at high school): Gemometry A-/A
Fresh: Honors Algebra 2 A-/A
Soph: Pre Calc A-/A
Junior: IB Math 2(Sorta Calc/Stats) B+/A</p>

<p>650 Math SAT, 32 Math ACT</p>

9

<p>Senior: will take IB Math HL</p>

10

<p>Have you considered Swarthmore? Also, competitive engineering schools will expect you to have taken advanced math, biology, chemistry, physics courses if available, and that you have good AP and SAT Subject test scores as well.</p>

11

<p>I have taken IB Physics (2 years), IB Biology, regular biology, and chemistry.</p>

12

<p>Temple would be a good safety, and you’d likely get good money.</p>

13

<p>well what would i be looking at if i was looking at midwest and west?</p>

14

<h1>1 – Best of luck with Math HL. Not to freak you out, but that was my hardest class and the hardest IB test for me (I find out my scores on Sunday!!)</h1>

<p>And you could look into University of Pittsburgh’s engineering school. I’m not familiar with the stats for that school but I’m thinking it would be a match or safety for you.</p>

15

<p>any others possibly not on the east coast?</p>
