<p>My son looked at RPI and just couldn’t deal with living in the area, but it is a good school. He got in with stats much lower than yours gpa-wise 3.1-2 unweighted, but his SATI was closer to a 750 in math, but only around 600 in english. He only took AP calc and one or two honors classes, but he did attend a rigorous college prep school. He did have strong EC’s. He ended up at Embry Riddle in Florida which is very easy to get into, but it is the top ranked Aero Engineering undergrad school in the country. Top for flight too. These were his interests and he really wanted to be in Florida. I wouldn’t necessarily suggest it; it is expensive with not very good fa. RPI offered much better fa if that is a concern to you.</p>

<p>Berkeley engineering stats for enrolled students
SAT Critical Reading: 620 / 740
SAT Math: 710 / 780
1330-1520</p>
<p>Since you like to split up Cornell Farm school and Cornell Engineering so much in your SAT ranking, you should rank Berkeley Engineering seperately, too.</p>
<p>“…you should rank Berkeley Engineering seperately, too.”</p>
<p>I agree, More broadly, every school that has separate admissions should be evaluated separately, if you are trying to assess your chances of admission, or character of the student body attending that college. The old college guides, before US News, broke out admissions stats by college for most multi-college universities, and IIRC did not even publish any such numbers aggregated across the universities as a whole.</p>
<p>If someone is trying to assess his chances for admission to Berkeley’s engineering college, why obfuscate that question by lumping in irrelevant data from Berkeley’s other colleges?</p>
<p>Unfortunately many schools no longer make the disaggregated data available. But where it is available it should always be used. Lest applicants to a particular college at such university be misled as to their actual odds.</p>
<p>An applicant to NYU’s Stern school needs to know about odds at Stern, without the other colleges there thrown in.</p>
<p>An applicant to Wharton needs to know about chances at wharton, without the irrelevant stats for Penn’s other schools also thrown in.</p>
<p>And berkely is no different.</p>
<p>It’s just a matter of getting the data.</p>
<p>Data for Cornell’s individual colleges is published and available, but not all of them are. But where they are they should be used, I quite agree.</p>
<p>CMU is well-known in robotics.</p>
<p>I also agree with middsmith. I wish more schools published separate stats for each college. Applicants would find that information helpful…and I would be glad to post it.</p>
<p>Your class rank and unweighted GPA might well overcome your relatively “low” SAT scores at RPI in my opinion. Particularly if you took the most rigorous curriculum offered at your school and that GPA includes only the academic core courses. No reason not to try to push that Math score above 700 if you can. If you can get the SAT Math up to 720 and the CR up to 680 you should not only get in but will probably improve your financial aid package considerably based on what the experiences of kids in our area have had with RPI (we send a lot of kids there).</p>
<p>I took almost the most rigorous curriculum offered at my school. My school doesn’t offer AP classes, unfortunately, but I have taken all the community college courses offered except for Spanish. I took French, but there was no community college french class offered. I am also taking Priciples of Engineering, which is part of Project Lead the Way. It is a pilot program at my school this year, and therefore, is extremely easy. After two years, it will count as a college credit. </p>
<p>On a possibly related note, my senior project is to research the costs, benefits, and integration of AP/IB courses and present my findings to the board of education. </p>
<p>And yes, financial aid is important to me.</p>

<p>Finally. A post that i’ve been waiting to see/hear on CC. this makes a perfect sense!</p>
