I think OP is referring to this

For the new holistic admission process for all engineering applicants having a high class rank won’t be enough to get admitted any more. They look at (in theory) everything, your EC, class rigor, test scores.

If you can take 5+ AP/DC/IB classes senior year since it will be viewed as a rigorous course load. your extracurricular are fine (Yay Ac Dec! I’m in it too, and I LOVED state!) just your test scores.

if you get a 30+ on the ACT it will get you admissions to A&M (Provided you stay in the top 25% ) . So Since the SAT is new this year the scores for the first round of scores will likely be lower. So your best chance of admission to engineering is to score well enough on the ACT to get into A&M, then score well on the new SAT (like 1400+) to improve your chances of getting into Dwight (since a lot of people won’t have good scores on the new SAT, the state average was about 950 .)
