[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That GPA is not competitive for engineering especially if based on freshman and sophomore year (junior year classes are harder!). Will be up against many students with close to 4.0 UW in rigorous classes. You are right to aim lower.[/quote] This is untrue... A 3.5-3.6 UW GPA coupled with 1500-1550 SAT and AP physics and calculus is super competitive at all but the best colleges. Again, I can only speak from experience through this past admission cycle. Furthermore, if I put OPs weighted GPA and SAT in my kids Naviance, I struggle to find a school outside of the Ivies and the UNC, UC type schools that heavily tilt towards in-state, where there is a rejection. Likely, a different high school, but worth noting for need perfect grades set.[/quote]
