<p>Regarding my Standardized test, the chance may seem slim. But am I being too optimistic if I am counting on ED?</p>
<p>From everything I’ve heard, the average ACT is a 33 so I really wouldn’t classify a 32 as all that low, especially if you applied ED. Especially if your ACT breakdown is similar to how your math is superior on your SAT since you applied math/engineering. They’ll only consider the highest of your SAT vs ACT, so I really wouldn’t stress it.</p>
<p>Thanks. What about stuffs other than just the Standardized test scores?</p>
<p>AIME is good for a science or engineering major. ECs are weak, but I have heard they give internationals more of a pass on that. If you are able to write up about your research, that would help your chances.</p>
<p>If you worked as a lifeguard, that would be a good EC to list.</p>
