<p>OP, if you are really serious about medically oriented research as an undergrad, you should also look at SUNY Stony Brook.</p>

<p>Beyond that, your 650 Math score is troublesome considering you want to pursue engineering. Engineering and Math are sort of unseparable. 650 is weak for an aspiring engineer. As an adcom I would be really concerned that you may not be wired to be successful in engineering. If you get 740 or above on the SAT II Math, that would diffuse that idea, but if you get 720 or lower, it would simply confirm it. They'll look at the subparts of your ACT (I honestly don't know much about ACT... but I know there are subscores) to see how strong you are in math.</p>

<p>Engineering admissions is very different from L&S admissions. The math part of the SAT and your SAT Math is critical... needs to be top 2% at minimum.</p>

<p>your race def comes in major on this</p>

<p>That is the thing. On the SAT Math I get a 650, but on the ACT Math I got a 35 out of 36. The ACT covers more advanced math topics as well. Yale only requires the ACT, so they will not see that one, but for Harvard, Princeton and others they will see the other math score. I hope that they look to my ACT over my SAT score.</p>

<p>I am really good at math, the problem on the SAT seemed to be that the questions were not straightforward. I can easily do it, but I think the reasoning is what did me in.</p>

<p>your getting in them all</p>
