Low SAT Math Score, can I still become an engineer?

<p>colorado_mom always has sage advice. There are lots of good schools where the OP would be very competitive and receive a good education.</p>

<p>In the context of his/her original post however, that math SAT would be well below the 50th percentile for engineers at every program mentioned. At U or R the math 25th percentile of all students, not just engineers, was 630. At USC, the 25th percentile of all students was 660. UW doesn’t admit directly into engineering. It’s competitive after students are admitted.</p>

<p>The point isn’t that an SAT math score of 630 will severely cripple an engineering applicant or portend a poor future. It’s that it will narrow the field of choices a LITTLE. It will however, be a tough admit at the schools mentioned above.</p>
