<p>I'm interested at going into engineering. I know northwesterns a great school but I didn't know much specifically about there engineering program. How does it compare to Michigan, Duke, and Marylands</p>
<p>I also wanted to know if I have a shot at getting in… I’m my classes valedictorian and Have impressive extracurriculars. As of now I have sats of math-720 reading-640 English-600. I just took acts for a second time and think il have about a 31. I’m taking sat 2s next week</p>
<p>No one can accurately predict your chance of admission but unless you have a hook your chances are not good. Your M&V SAT is well below the average at NU and few students get admitted with a verbal score that low. In all honesty even your top score the 720 in math is low for a prospective engineering student. On the other hand maybe you can raise your scores which will increase your chances. With the admission rate now around 13% predictions don’t really mean much anyway. If you read this site you will know that ED is your best bet if NU is your top choice.</p>
<p>And as for the original question, Northwestern’s engineering program is one of the top in the country. Duke has a weak engineering school, Maryland is not close to Northwestern, and Michigan’s is probably on par.</p>
<p>Crimsonstayed since you seem to be pretty knowledgeable could you rank the engineering programs at Tufts, JHU, Lehigh, northwestern, UVA, Umd, bucknell, vt, Lafayette, Tulane, Drexel</p>
<p>The only ones I know are good are Northwestern and VT, but I don’t really know about the rest. Those two would be top, and I would assume UVa would be pretty good.</p>
<p>You can easily find different rankings if engineering schools on the web.</p>
<p>I have to agree about those SAT scores - absent a hook, they could prove your undoing at NU, Tufts, Duke, Mich, JHU and UVa. I don’t know much about the others, but I think that Bucknell and Lehigh could prove tough as well.</p>
