Also calculate your MCA score for SLO (see post #52): http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/cal-poly-san-luis-obispo/1694769-confused-about-mca-score-p4.html

How are your extracurricular activities? I think your subject test scores are on the lower end but your grades and ACT are good. I think, depending on that, probably high match or low reach.
I calculated a MCA of 4243 which doesn’t really seem right since the average for engineering is so much higher. Unless I just overestimated myself. Even with my low math on the ACT, I don’t see how it would be so low.

What is the thing holding me back?
