<p>Your says are a little low, especially for out of state. Make sure you have a safety and good luck.</p>

<p>^ sats not says</p>

<p>I hate to say it, but with those test scores, the fact that your a white male applying to engineering, and nothing spectacular on the EC front to make up for the poor scores, Id say your chances are slim. Pratt is heavily focused on scores (especially math and science scores), and I think a 680 Math SAT and 670 Math II SAT II just wont cut it. </p>

<p>However, if you want to, still apply anyway. Anything could happen. Good luck!</p>

<p>Yeah I don’t understand why I can’t do better in any of the math sections. I’m usually one of the best in any of my math classes at school and I got a 5 on Calc too. I hate the SAT haha.</p>
