Also, is there any equivalent or better college than Purdue to do course at???
What is the minimum SAT score for these equivalent or better colleges?</p>

<p>I need maximum amount of help guys.. </p>

<p>Are you an Indiana resident?
Your stats are pretty good. I would aim for a 2000 on the SAT. try to get your math score in the 700’s and you’ll be fine. Purdue is really good for mechanical engineering, my uncle went there for that.
Also, are you taking any AP’s? If not, enroll in some senior year so you can put it on you application, and apply early action.
I don’t know much, but i hear carnegie mellon and MIT are good to. Depending on your SAT score though. MIT is a reach for everyone.
Good luck with your college search!</p>
