<p>Sigh - yes, I am a girl… </p>
<p>I agree with Mollie. The ONE case in which it would not be true would be a huge differential in math/verbal for the low scorer… e.g. if person A is 800/800, but person B is 800 verbal/680 math - person B would obviously not be as qualified to be an engineer. OTOH, if the 1480 split is 700v/780m, there is little difference in the applicants for an engineering degree.</p>
<p>My ex-boyfriend only had a 1440 and got in… also went to a worse school, lower class rank, and didn’t do much outside of school - aside from SPLASH. Hum, maybe it was the last thing that helped out…</p>
