<p>best of luck</p>
<p>If you are looking for a small engineering school ranked 10 Years in a row as No 1…engineering schools without a phd. Look at Rose Hulman, great Support staff and small classes. Its a gem.</p>
<p>Rochester Institute of Technology
Illinois Institute of Technology
Drexel
Northeastern</p>
<p>Anywhere! Believe in yourself!</p>
<p>Wow…this is encouraging. I was thinking that to be successful a person needed over a 700. R-H is my #1 choice. It looks like a great program, but I just don’t want to be “weeded out”. Do the SAT scores really predict success?</p>

<p>SAT scores are not a very good predictor of how you will do in college by themselves. I believe the best predictor is your HS GPA.</p>
<p>It is very difficult to predict how an individual student will do based on SAT or anything else. But for predicting how groups of students will do on average, the SAT works well.</p>
<p>^ Not really. I know students or “groups” of students who will kill standardized tests but refuse to go to class because they have other obligations or are just to lazy.</p>
