<p>Your SAT is average for finalists, and your ACT is very slightly above average. Your GPA looks good, and if you can write good essays you have a great shot of being named a finalist.</p>
<p>Match is always tough. Only some 10% get matched to a school. However, Match is a way to assess your strengths and weaknesses. You can’t be rejected. And you can still apply ED or EA to multiple schools. See my post on the board: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/questbridge-programs/1539763-should-i-do-match-not-guide.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/questbridge-programs/1539763-should-i-do-match-not-guide.html</a></p>
<p>A lot of the partner schools offer engineering, including: MIT, Caltech, Rice, Northwestern, Tufts, Stanford, Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia, Washington and Lee, Swarthmore, Trinity, Brown, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Princeton, and most other liberal art colleges (3-2 programs with universities like Caltech, Dartmouth, Columbia, U’Penn, and WUSTL). Some of these schools are more selective than others. As a white applicant with relatively average test scores and extracurriculars it will be especially important for you to consider what schools you can realistically get into.</p>
