174 / 3.62

Just got my December score back and scored a 174. GPA is 3.62 in engineering from a top 10 engineering school. About 18 months of full-time engineering work experience but all through internships/co-ops. Other than that no real softs to speak of. Do I have a shot at T14 with real money applying this late in the cycle?

Get in your apps ASAP. Yes, you have a good shot at decent money across the T13.

Thanks for the reply! More specific follow up question/hypothetical (I know people aren’t a fan of those on here)... my number one choice would be northwestern. If I were to apply and get in this cycle but weren’t able to swing a sufficient scholarship is it extremely frowned upon to withdraw from this cycle and apply again next cycle ED? Wondering because NW guarantees 150k to their ED admits. Thanks!

Not frowned upon.
I bet you’ll do quite well with Northwestern this cycle though. Blanket T13 (skip YSB to save on app fees if you want). Get some strong offers to negotiate with Northwestern. Good luck.
