What chemical engineering university can I go to with a 2.0 GPA in the U.S?

Question

Am in my finale year of high school and would like to study chemical engineering in the U.S but am warred that because of my GPA (2.0). Also am studying outside of the U.S (Middle East) but am in an American high school. Am I to late to register or is there still time. Please response with university that are still applying students for the fall of 2007.
By the way my SAT is 1300 and my TOFAL 73.

THANK YOU

Answer 1

Chemical Engineering is a pretty tough degree, I don't think you would have much chance of succeeding in any USA engineering school with a 2.0 GPA in HS. Did you take extremely hard courses, like two years of AP Calculus, AP physics and AP chemistry? If that was your average for just ordinary HS course, I think you better look for an easier major. You would just flunk out of the chem egr programs.

SAT of 1300 is pretty low, too, if you are talking about the new three part SAT where an average score would be about 1600.

Answer 2

I would suggest you apply at a school with that major as an undeclared or a more general major. Then wait until your sophomore year pull up your GPA and then apply to change your major to engineering. It is possible to get in with a 2.0, but programs like that are highly impacted and difficult to get into with a great GPA, although your SAT score will defiantly help.

Answer 3

depending off of my awareness a stunning good GPA is often considered 3.5 or above and an extremely solid one is 3.seventy 5 or above. To get right into a proper 20 college i imagine that you'll probably decide on round a three.seventy 5 once you're doing grad college contained in the states. i have self assurance that Canada has slightly decrease criteria, yet you nonetheless decide on to maintain a stunning good generic.

Answer 4

There are some less competitive schools that may accept you. You could try the following, all of which offer chemical engineering:

-Calvin College, in Michigan
-Carlow University, in Pennsylvania
-Christian Brothers University, Louisiana
-Colorado State University
-Florida Institute of Technology
-Louisiana Tech University
-New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology
-Savannah State University, Georgia
-Thiel College, in Pennsylvania
-Tri State University, Indiana
-University of Idaho
-University of New Haven, in Connecticut
-University of Tulsa, in Oklahoma

I think you do have a chance of admissions at these schools.

I do not know which of these are still accepting students. Many of them offer "rolling admissions", which means that you can apply after the admissions deadline and, if they still have space in the program, they will accept you. It's worth it for you to check their websites and send them an email.

Good luck!
