Ideal score out of 1600 for Tier 1 engineering schools?

<p>I know some schools don’t take the writing score at all or consider it at a lesser weight, but ideally how high do I need to aim for a combined score of CR and M?</p>

<p>I got a 720 on the CR which I know I can def improve (I studied mainly for writing) and 800 on math and an equivalent of a 2300 (which was what I got) in 1600 is like a 1550?</p>

<p>Just want to know if those colleges are more selective or really don’t care.</p>

<p>Engineering schools will weigh your math more heavily than they will your CR. A 1520/2300 with an 800 in math is good enough; there’s nothing to gain from a retake.</p>

<p>In general, 1500+ is what should aim for, but it is better to get 750+ in math.</p>
