Georgia Tech has a 6% admission rate for OOS. My son's friend at a top private, with a 4.0 UW and 1580 SAT, was just deferred.
U Washington and Wisconsin might be reasonable reaches. |
Please suggest something. Most of those don't look like top tier schools to me. |
His GPA and test scores need to be higher to have a chance at any of the schools you listed. Way higher. |
Is he going to be a D1 recruited athlete? |
More motivation, so he has a chance for higher grades and higher test scores. Maybe a different major? He's competing with strong, motivated students for potentially the most competitive major. |
Not likely. |
They are, especially for CS. |
Wisconsin has very highly ranked CS and Engineering programs, they aren't reasonable with these stats. |
Not Washington, but maybe Wisconsin . . . . |
You really need to do some more research. For computer science, GMU has a minimum 3.5 GPA requirement. It’s at best a target not a safety. |
Math 750. Yes, avoiding the south. I don't have a login to Naviance or a code. |
University of Texas at Austin basically took about 2 kids OOS this year. ![]() Sorry OP. It's rough. ![]() |
Alabama and Miss are likelies, but SC is much harder this year, my kid with over a 4.0 and 10 ap is deferred. Same with Tenessee, many many rejections and deferrals this year. JMU is also much harder if you don't have a 4.0, and I would think for engineering GMU might be too. I would really really have him work on the GPA. That is the best thing he can do. But the schools now on his list are difficult for the over 4.0 crew. |
+2 Did you do know research on the average stats of accepted students before compiling this list? |
Suggestions - WPI, Fordham, Michigan State, Arizona State, University of Rochester, Santa Clara |
