<p>A 27 ACT will not get you into any of those schools. You would probably have a shot at a flagship U in your state. What can your family afford?</p>

#3

<p>...you are a long ways away from having a decent chance at the schools you listed. With your high math / low reading profile you may do better on the SAT vs. ACT.</p>

#4

<p>Other threads indicate that the OP is not a native English speaker, so that would account for the big discrepancy between the science/math and the reading/writing scores.</p>

#5

<p>Are you a citizen or green card resident?</p>

<p>How much will your family pay?</p>

<p>with your stats, it would be difficult for you to get accepted to the schools that meet need...if you have need.</p>

#6

<p>greencard res for now
but what other schools should i look into? what are some good schools thats good for engineering and will not bankrupt me?
any suggestions?</p>

#7

<p>how come the sat is easier than act for me? i always thought sat is 1 part math 2 part eng while act is 1 part math, 1 part science, and 2 part eng. thats why i took the act. and i hate vocabs.... i heard theres tons of huge words on sat. i personally think they are useless in an engineering field...</p>

<p>Colleges don't care about the SAT writing so the SAT is 50% math / 50 % CR. Act is 25% reading / 25% english / 25% science (reading comprehension is important on this subtest also) 25% math.</p>

#9

<p>Some colleges do consider SAT writing. </p>

<p>I don't think most schools what consider writing for engineering majors.</p>

#11

<p>Berkeley, Stanford, and MIT are out of reach with 27 ACT. It is probably worth retaking to try to improve your score.</p>

<p>Having higher scores in math/science will help, but not fully outweigh the low scores in reading/english.</p>

<p>Look for schools where 27 is in the upper half of the 25/75th percentile range. Purdue should be a safety. Michigan might be a good match.</p>
