Pls.someone suggest me on my questions.
1.Do summitting both ACT and SAT score to make your application strong?
2.If you apply in BME ,do you summit SAT Bio score ,or AP score?What were your intenrships and courses?
3.If you are majoring in Industrial engineering what are your high school courses ,and internships and sat/act scores?Or any other information.
Thanks in advance?
For ACT and SAT, you usually just need to make sure whichever one is higher gets to the college. Note: some colleges superscore within the same kind of test, so some applicants may find it advantageous to send all scores of a given test. Also, some colleges require all scores, so follow those instructions if given.
Colleges will have instructions about what SAT subject tests they want, if any. When specific ones are asked for, engineering applicants are usually asked for math and a science.
Pls anyone with suggestion on majors in BME or Industrial engineering.

You would want to submit the best score(s) for either the SAT or ACT especially if the school superscores. Each school will state their test requirements and only a few schools will ask you to submit all SAT and ACT scores.
-
For Engineering, again each school will state the recommended or required SAT subject tests to submit based on major. As @ucbalumnus stated usually Math 2 and a Science for an Engineering major.
Official AP scores are not required to be sent to all colleges. You can self report your AP test scores on the college application and send your official score report to the school you end up attending. -
For any type of Engineering, you want to take Biology, Physics, Chemistry and hopefully up to Calculus as HS courses.
Internships as a HS student are not common place so if you are able to land one, then it will help your application but not necessary.
Depending upon which schools you are targeting, you want to take a rigorous HS course load, have a High GPA and test scores, some interesting and/or major related EC’s that show consistency and leadership.
My son is starting second year at Michigan for Industrial engineering. In high school he ended with 3.95 GPA with all honors /AP high rated high school. He had a 34 ACT. But took it a few times to get there. He sent in all scores and even though Michigan doesn’t super score they said they will /do take a look to see how he improved. He had a 35 on both math and science on the single test, which he scored 34 on. . He did physics 1, chemistry then Biology (his school does reverse order) then AP physics Calc with Calc 3 (multivariate) as a senior. He took 8 AP total but 6 in his senior year due to messed up junior schedule. He aced his senior year and thought it was easier then the previous years. He was a peer to peer math tutor, varsity chess team (4 years) , varsity track team (3)and a chess teacher to a 9 year old for 3 years. He also had a small business on an interest of his that is sorta unique since he was like 9. Even though he had AP physics with Calc or engineering physics in high school he is finding physics very challenging in college.When I asked him about physics at Michigan he said… “engineering physics at Michigan is really hard” I laughed since this was such a basic but realistic answer. Becoming an engineer is not easy stuff. I guess if it was that easy then everyone would be doing it… Lol… at Michigan only needs 2 courses of the 3 for industrial. But it is math heavy which he enjoys more.
Not sure if this answers your questions since some are like half questions but look up ACE mentoring in your area http://www.acementor.org/
In Chicago it had most phases of engineering but not BME . Great year long program. Gives you a great idea how different engineers work together on a project even if this type of field doesn’t interest you and looks great on an application.
