engineering admissions question

Colleges and Universities A-Z Tufts University

<p>I just had a quick question about requirements to the engineering college. I visited the campus yesterday and at the info session the rep mentioned that they recommend engineering candidates to submit a math sat II and either chemistry or physics sat II. The problem is that this year I took Math IIC, Lit, and Bio...would it hurt me a lot in admissions to not have the chem or physics that they want? I really don't have enough backround in either subject to do as well as I did in bio- I've taken intro to physics and Chem 1 and will be taking AP Physics this year, but not in time for the sat subject tests. </p>

<p>Thanks for reading and letting me know what you think.</p>

<p>well what are your stats - SATS, Subject Tests, Extra Currics? It's hard to judge your chances without all of that information?</p>

<p>I wouldn't worry too much about it. I was in the same boat as you a year ago, and decided to send ACTs instead of any SAT's for the engineering school, despite taking three SAT II's. I took Physics and Chemistry Senior year, and I think as long as you have those under your belt, you should be all set (worked for me...)</p>

<p>I'm sure it won't be a deal breaker. If possible, it would be good to have a chem or physics teacher write you a recommendation.</p>
