golden marsh
Background info: Moved from northeast to south directly after 10th grade. Grades for that year dropped in 2nd semester leaving me with a low average for most classes because I couldn't submit classwork due to travelling back and forth. (Freshman year only: 3.98 UW, Sophomore year only: 2.65 UW). When the GPA was recalculated at my current school, some courses that were marked as honors were counted as on-level because they weren't offered
Location/Region: TX (current)
Gender/Ethnicity: Asian, Female
Major: computer/electrical engineering (1), computer science (2)
GPA/Test Scores: 3.4 UW, 4.3/6.0 UW (top 50%), 1380 SAT - 620 EBRW 760 Math (expecting 1400+ for June,), (expecting 31+ for ACT)
High school curriculum (as of end of 12th): 15 APs (incl CS III - taken after AP CSA), ~10 honors
ECs: They were pretty good, but I had to quit midway because it is hard to find in my current area. I'm currently focusing on regional and state competitions
College Curriculum: Rigorous, but not to the point where it drives me insane
Class Size: preferably small-medium (10-20 : 1)
Costs: I need aid. Only a fraction of tuition is going to be covered. Probably will work/get loan
Desired Location(s): Looking for colleges in city areas in-state and south/west. If there are little options in that area, I am willing to go back to the northeast.
Additional: I want to go into schools that are ranked highly in my intended major(s). I am also considering liberal arts colleges with the 3+2 engineering program
Schools you're currently looking at (if any): UT Austin (hard target/reach), Texas A&M, Purdue, UT Dallas (safety?)
