<p>I applied ED I to engineering, and I have solid math scores,</p>
<p>SATI-770
ACT-math sub 35
SAT Math II-720
AP BC Calc - 4
AP AB Calc-5 </p>
<p>and solid math grades in general, </p>
<p>but my critical reading and writing are far from those lovely numbers. </p>
<p>Will that show in my application, that I am very well qualified for my particular major, but maybe not as much so as an applicant in general?</p>
<p>Well, I guess I have a similar situation...
I'm not really a math person. I mean, I'm in AP Stats now, but my math scores have always been okay... not great, just okay. But my CR and Writing scores are very good, and I've applied to be an IR/Spanish major, which obviously would not involve much math, aside from the math distribution requirement.
I know that I focused more on my strengths than on my weaknesses in my application... so if you've shown evidence of significant achievements/involvement in math and science related activities and pursuits, I'm sure that would speak volumes and surely provide great support for your excellent math scores.
My cousin is a senior and an Engineering major at Tufts this year. She really does not like writing, and I think that her SAT's reflected that, and she still got in. Then again, things have changed a lot in terms of college admissions in the last four years, so you never know...
Obviously I haven't heard yet either, so I don't REALLY know how the admissions committees look at people like us. But I guess we'll see in a few days...!</p>
<p>Shananigans: I can't imagine your achievements in math won't go unnoticed. :-)</p>
<p>thanks. I just want this process to be over. Im going crazy!!!</p>
<p>If it makes you feel any better, I'm pretty sure there are far less engineering ED applicants than lib arts applicants...</p>
<p>Yeah I would think what LolaBelle just said is true, too. I wonder, though, if the percentage accepted is still the same as lib arts... Does anyone know if engineering ED acceptance rate is higher or equal?</p>
<p>I was surprised by how few Engineering students there are compared to Liberal Arts students. Out of the 1282 students in the last class, only 184 were in the engineering school.</p>
<p>Good luck Shananigans! Hope you get in. :-)</p>
<p>thanks everyone, and good luck to all of you that are applying to college.</p>
<p>it's funny, Jacksonmom, b/c I was also surprised since I know SOOO many engineers. But no, the school is pretty small and intimate (which is what ariesathena will tell you she likes about it ;-) )</p>
