Jai–my son got into Columbia (ED) with an SAT 2 of 640 in math 2c, and didn’t take physics SAT 2. Yet he was admitted as an astro major–so, I’m thinking lower SAT 2s are not the kiss of death. His Sat 1 was far higher, though.



in the college a low SAT2 math 2c can be brushed off alot more easily. Besides a 640 in math 2c for the college is good. For SEAS however it hurts your chances if it is below a 700…math is a fundamental basis for engineering and they want to know whether or not you will get killed in your basic math classes. On the other hand if you got straight As in tough calc classes in HS then maybe that can balance out…otherwise you should rethink the whole engineering thing or just hope for the best.
