<p>You need to raise the math at least 50 points to be competitive. The critical reading makes the cut, just barely.</p>

<p>If you're wondering how I'm making these statements, I got the SAT ranges off of collegeboard.com for WPI</p>

<p>In case you are wondering, the 25%-75% levels on the SATs and ACTs at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 2005 were:</p>

<p>SAT CR: 570-670 with an average of 620
SAT Math: 630-720 with an average of 674
Projected SAT Written: 610-680 (test not given until later that year)</p>

<p>ACT Range: 24 to 29 with an average of those accepted being at the 29 level. (in other words, they are really pretty strict about wanting a great math test score). So, MallomarCookie is right when he says you need to raise the math by 50 points to be competitive. </p>

<p>Also, their average W GPA is 3.6, so even with the 50 points, it's still a bit iffy.</p>

<p>How the *<strong><em>kkkk did you get a 4 on Virgil but a 520 on the SAT II, the Virgil test is so hard it made me *</em></strong> myself. The SatII is considerably easier.</p>

<p>i took the sat 2 in 10th grade, i was bad at latin back then. Then i took vergil and got a 4. Mmm i'm taking sat one more time, hopefully i can raise my sats to meet the requirements. Thanks guys!</p>

<p>oh yeah, i have been taking the hardest math course i could possibly take from nineth to senior year. I also took ap physics (science). will that help me out?</p>

8

<p>yeah it will but only if you raise your SAT 1 math by 50 points. it's not that many points...you can do it!</p>
