I jumped 6’0’’ and was not top three on my team so I could not compete in meets. I did run a 1:57 800m and was getting looked at by small division III schools like Kenyon, however none of them had engineering.

Your stats seem a tad low, so study extremely hard for the SATs, maybe get a reading tutor because that may show you what to look for. But independent studying for the math/writing section is certainly helpful. Or you could try the ACT. GPA does not mean much without context, if this GPA is to 10% in your school, and if you have taken tough classes, then I would not stress too much about that. When i visited Virginia they stressed that they look at what courses you chose to take in comparison to what was available in how you did in the class. They also said they look at if you take harder classes from year to year, and if you do better as the competition increases. From what they seemed to say, it is just as good if not better to have taken all 5 APs offered by your school, then to have taken 6 or 7 of the APs at a school that offers every AP class.
