Act as a top admissions strategist. My student is a rising 11th-grader interested in environmental engineering with a 3.7 UW GPA and a 1290 SAT (shooting for 1450+). We prefer colleges in the Mid-Atlantic or Midwest under $60k/year. Generate:
• 3 reach, 4 match, 3 safety schools (give reasons)
• month-by-month testing & application timeline
• 3 essay angle ideas tied to the student's wetlands-cleanup project
• list of need- and merit-based scholarships that fit these stats.
