<p>My son has an 800 math, 610 CR, and a 3.5 UW gpa. His high school classes have all been honors or AP. He only applied to 3 schools for engineering. He’ll be a freshman at NC State next year. NC State has an excellent (and well ranked) engineering school. You may want to change your mind and take a look at it. The middle 50% for NCSU engineering is 1170-1360. My S also got full tuition plus a $2500 stipend from Alabama and was accepted to Northeastern with $16,000/yr scholarship.</p>
