All you can do is make a judgement as to whether to include or not - and apply.
And to have a balanced list - so if you don’t get in, you have other schools.
Depending on the engineering major, the where you study might not matter as much as you think from an outcome POV.
You can also look at programs like the UCs, CSUs (Cal Poly a top school), U Wash and others if they don’t look at tests. Of course, we don’t know your list, etc.
Bottom line - if you are at the 25th percentile, that means 25% of kids got in with a lesser score. DId they have a special reason for this - I can’t say - as you’ve provided little info.
Best of luck.
