[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While SAT is okay in general, it isn't for engineering.  What is his math component?  
I would scrap that list and focus on a solid tier down - look at U of South Carolina, U of Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, if you don't like the South find those equivalents up north. 
I advise looking at the scattergrams on Naviance or whatever your school has, which will show his GPA in relation to his peers.  I think this will be very enlightening - and whatever you see, it will be harder for an engineering student. [/quote]

Math 750.   Yes, avoiding the south.  I don't have a login to Naviance or a code.  [/quote]

Then get one.  Or have your kid get one and sit with the computer and look at it.
We are trying to give you advice, but we don't know your school.  A 3.5 unweighted could be a phenomenal GPA or an absolutely terrible one - only you know that.  Your school is one of the most important variables and it makes zero sense to crowd source information when you won't do your own homework. [/quote]

I didn't even know Naviance existed until now.  I have done a lot of research, but I can't know what I don't know.  I"m not sure why you feel the need to be so rude.  Perhaps don't post if you don't feel like being helpful.[/quote]

I am sorry. Really.  I should have said that in a nicer way.  Please get this information. It is the number one way for you to come up with a realistic list and it would be far more crushing for you and the sooner you develop a realistic list, the happier you and your kid will be.  Again, no need for rudeness and that's my fault. [/quote]
