<p>I was very similar to you, and I applied to most of those places. I think everything is a lock except michigan and berkeley. If you have good essays you’ll be fine at michigan. Berkeley is going to be very challenging to get in to</p>

4

<p>IF you don’t mind, which schools did u apply to and which did u get into?
I’m very weak at essays too. suggestions to how i can improve chances?</p>

<p>I am only familiar with California schools. Cal Poly SLO’s average admitted GPA this year is 3.9 and SAT (CR+M) (California State Universities do not consider the W score) is 1,292 overall and 1372 for engineering majors. Therefore I think your chances there are poor. You would need a SAT (CR+M+W) of at least 2000 to have a reasonable chance at UC Berkeley.</p>
