<p>I know schools dont only look at Math and Science achievements, but if I were to apply for an engineering major at like Darthmouth, would they overlook a poor 690CR SAT score and place more enmphasis on my 800M and 8002C? I heard that they do, but I would like to hear other thoughts on this matter. </p>

<p>They wouldn't overlook it entirely, but your chances would probably be better than someone who also had a 1490 on CR and Math, but a lower Math score.</p>
<p>(By the way, 690 = poor? Only on CC...anyway, great job, kid. Dartmouth or not, you've got nothing to worry about.)</p>
<p>Thanks salamander. Yeah I guess CC makes everything below a 2300 seem inferior.</p>
<p>Dartmouth doesn't have a separate engineering school, so I don't know that they would place much more emphasis on the math. Engineering schools would definitely though.</p>
<p>CCFanatic a great Writing score can also be of great help for
top engineering schools and schools like Dartmouth as well which
offer engineering amongst other options</p>
<p>my writing was 730 so i guess that is good??</p>
<p>i'm sure at least a quarter of the people on CC lie about their gpa/test scores.</p>
<p>Some schools will definitely look at the CR for engineering students (Cornell, Brown, Columbia, Tufts, etc) because they have incredibly strong applicants with high scores in both areas, even for engineering. If you have the opportunity to get it above 700 it can only help you at the most competitive schools. It will not be a problem at many schools where the focus is primarily math/science but based on this year's experience, the old idea that one can be lopsided for engineering, in general, does not appear to be true for the most competitive engineering programs. If your grades are excellent it may be less of a concern but some schools with very large applicant pools (Cornell, e.g.) do sort by SATs and grades without any other compelling reason to admit (URM, NSF grant funding (smile).</p>
