*I have a 2140 SAT (760 math and 690 on the other two sections) and a 3.8 GPA at a crazy difficult private high school in Wisconsin in lots of AP classes. I’m a National Merit Semi-Finalist and my EC’s are decent.

Criteria for the safeties:
-Obviously, for a safety, my test scores should be in the top 25-50% and it should have a pretty high acceptance rate
-Must have a football team (hopefully the team is at least decent)
-Should have opportunities for pre-med students (i.e. a hospital or
-Needs to have an engineering program (biomedical engineering if possible but not strictly necessary)
-Warm weather preferable if possible but not necessary*

Very good pre-med advising. High med school acceptance. (I have a Chemical Engineering son there who is also pre-med).

Brand new mega-sized Science and Engineering Complex with the latest state-of-the-art labs and facilities.

These pics only shows a small part of the new complex which consists of more than 500,000 square feet of new labs and classrooms.

Strong honors college - including the research-based Computer-Based Honors which only admits 40 students per year…

Amazing honors super-suites housing where each student has a private bedroom within a 4 bedroom super suite.

NMFs get free tuition, free housing (including the honors super suites), a laptop computer, study abroad money. Total package worth about $120,000.

As an engineering student, you’d get an additional $2500 per year on top of the above.

And, of course, the Crimson Tide.

The app is quick and easy.
