[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is his intended major?[/quote]

Engineering. Particular interest in Robotics [/quote]

That’s going to be tough. Any softer interests? Double major in something non-stem?

Test scores?[/quote]
NO, it's not automatically "going to be tough." That's ridiculous.

Missing pieces of info:
--What level of academic rigor? A 3.6 in highest academic level is different than a 3.6 in mid-level and below.
--ACT/SAT scores?
--School Profile -- Is it a 3.6 at a school known to be challenging?

DC had around this GPA and got into every engineering program applied to, with merit at all and one engineering-specific scholarship.

It’s going to be tough for T20. Wasn’t that OP original question?!?
Sheesh[/quote]
And the answer is -- not necessarily, without more info. Also, top 20 schools generally, or top 20 engineering programs? It's pretty easy to get into Purdue, but harder to get into Purdue Engineering.[/quote]

Read the OP. It was top 20. Full stop. No need to dig a hole for yourself.

No one is getting into a cs/engineering major in T20 with a 3.6 even if private (I’m at a rigorous private).

Some of those kids got crushed this year.

Maybe give her a list of real alternatives?[/quote]
