<p>Would like to know where those with lower SAT's have applied other than Michigan. I only had 1290 even though I have a class rank of 1/445. Got into
Purdue and waiting to hear from Michigan. Also had Virgnia Tech as a back up. Anybody else with low scores have Purdue as a back up? How does their engineering program compare to Michigan?</p>
<p>purdue is ranked 9th nationally in undergraduate engineering programs. Michigan is ranked 7th. but Michigan is WAY harder to get into. purdue has an acceptance rate of 82% compared to 53% for michigan. if the you have time apply to u of illinois urbana champaign. it has the 3rd best engineering program in the country (after MIT and Stanford, tied third with Caltech!!!) and it is pretty easy to get into. if u inted o major in civil or materials engineering it has the best programs in the country, even better than MIT</p>
<p>yeah i applied late to UMich for engineering with a 1290 SAT, im still waiting to hear back from them. I got into UIllinois-Urbana Champaign for computer engineering, which is ranked #4.</p>
<p>sonya, what was your class rank?</p>
<p>my school doesnt rank but im in the top 6% out of about 450</p>
<p>Baghdady1989 ...U of illinois engineering is not "easy" to get in to. Its just as hard to get into as u mich if not harder...Thats engineering...but overall, it is easier to get into u of ill than michigan, yes</p>
<p>620 V 730 M = 1350 total</p>
<p>740 IIC...</p>
<p>Applied to MIT and UMich to see how lucky i get :P</p>
<p>I applied engineering very, very late. By very very late, I mean it's in the mail as we speak. I sent scores about a week ago. Do I have any shot whatsoever. I'm guessing no because my GPA is a 3.6 weighted (very competative school :/). My scores are in my favor: 1460, math iic 800, physics 780, writing 790. I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm incredibly pi$$ed that I didn't have the sense to apply earlier, even before Christmas break. </p>
<p>BTW, how much attention does U Mich pay to individual grades on your transcript. Will they consider the fact that in the last year I've shown a big improvement (3.2 to 3.8, big for me at least) and gotten great grades in physics and math? I feel like I deserve to get in, but I have a strong feeling that I won't.</p>
<p>Sonya...since we have same scores I'm anxious to see if we're admitted. It's
nice to know I'm not the only one without a 1400 SAT. :)</p>
<p>Mediocretes, your SAT will help. As will your GPA jumping from 3.2 to 3.8. Upward trends will always be a positive. </p>
<p>But your GPA and your applying late will hurtl Your SAT IIs won't be considered (Michigan does not look at SAT IIs). </p>
<p>Did you take AP classes? How about AP exams? Did you do well there?</p>
