Hi all, so I screwed up big time in high school.
I go to a high school in IL and I'm trying to get into good CompE programs that have a mix of both hardware and software involved.
I've picked out UIUC, Purdue, OSU, UMinn (Twin Cities) and IIT for starters. My school only shows weighted GPAs on transcripts and mine is not looking good.
I'm currently a senior and overall my wGPA is 3.837 and my ACT is 30. I was a real slouch freshman year and I got a 3.5 and 3.7 for the first two semesters. I sorta stepped up the game sophomore year with 3.7s both semester but where I really improved was junior year with a 4.0 and 4.4. at the end of high school I will have completed 12 or 13 AP classes.
So can anyone give me a rough estimate on my chances at UIUC, Purdue, OSU, UMinn and IIT all for engineering? My biggest concern is UIUC which is also where I want to go the most.
Thanks!
EDIT: forgot to say, one of my biggest mistakes was playing basketball for my school during freshman and sophomore year which cut down on my homework time, etc, etc, it didn't get me anywhere and I doubt the colleges will see that I played a time consuming sport.
