State schools dont rlly give out full rides so keep that in mind

#

Boston College is nice but the engineering program isn’t particularly strong

#

Maybe UMich

#

But i dont think they get summers lol

#

I think rice has strong engineering but it has no winter

#

Gpa is ridiculously unimportant in college admissions

#

As long as your taking hard classes and have mostly As with a couple Bs, your grades wont rlly matter

#

Also, GTech is just as competitive if not more so

sonic cairn
#

it's def duable, esp the transfer

#

but OOS is not cheap

#

just fyi

sonic cairn
#

especially for schools that only do unweighted

pallid socket
#

also academics are a bench mark

sonic cairn
#

but for unweighted colleges it's usually the same

#

if you dont have >3.8 uw ur not getting into anything good for engineering

pallid socket
#

A good gpa is important, but u definitely dont need a 3.9 or 4.0

#

With holistic admissions, if you have like a 3.6 but insane awards and ecs, thats perfectly fine

#

Or if u have like a 3.6 in all aps but a 1600 ur fine

sonic cairn
#

most ppl don't have insane ecs or awards

#

it's easier to get a 3.9 imo

sonic cairn
#

just get a good gpa is best

pallid socket
#

Yea obviously getting a good gpa is important

#

But its not the be all end all

#

Also this dudes asking for school recommendations not a gpa discussion 😭😭

sonic cairn
#

don't think it's specifically off topic

#

i mean you could always try
