I got a 530 on the SAT Physics Subject Test. How screwed are my chances at getting admitted to an engineering program that requires the science subject test? Do you know of anyone that got in with a score similar to that or lower?
That’s a very low score. If you are applying to schools that require that particular SAT II, you will need to study very hard and retake. Other schools will take the chem SATII, which might make more sense for you since the physics subject test tests material that’s not covered in every physics class.
You’re at the 14th %ile. http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/highered/ra/sat/SAT_subject_tests_percentile_ranks.pdf Not good.
