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

<p>You are fine. Math is more practice than anything else. If you have practiced day and night, skin sweating, back breakingly long, then yes, there might be a problem. But it is more likely that your the average kid who goes to class, does his homework, and aces the test. Its a good score from that point of view. Try hard in understanding the mathematical concepts given and work with them (and practice practice and practice), thats what the sat is about. If after that, you aren’t getting very far, then I would perhaps think otherwise. But even after that, all you need is a 3.0 to get an engineering job. Also engineering is one of those majors where the material is standardized in pretty much every college you go to. Your state school might be even better or just as good as those more “prestigious colleges”, although the salary may fluctuate a little bit, your ability will define the money you get much more. So I wouldn’t worry too much.</p>
