How do engineering schools regard low CR scores?

<p>So if I received 750 M, 730 W, and only 520 in Critical Reading section, and I am applying strictly to engineering schools, would stronger colleges like Ivies consider the fact that I am not a bad student, I just failed in CR section? Or do they just check the overall score and see whether I fit in that 2100-2300 category? I am also planning to send Math II 800 and one other subject score.</p>

<p>Please let me know if you are familiar with this. THANK YOU!</p>

<p>(English is not my first language and I am applying as an international student, hence such a bad reading score..)</p>

<p>What schools did you apply to anyway?</p>

<p>A couple of Ivies, some other lower rank universities.</p>

<p>I’m not an expert on admissions (so you may want to contact the places you are applying to), but I think it will be a problem. Reading comprehension is still very important for engineers.</p>

<p>I’m wondering the same thing. But Yes, reading comprehension is important for engineering and as well as any other majors.</p>

<p>I agree with you, it is crucial in life in general, let alone in engineering profession. I guess I just thought that maybe it is not AS important in engineering schools as it is in law schools.</p>
