How hard is it to get ino the L.C. Smith School Of Engineering?

<p>I heard they accept 40% of their applicants to the school. Exactly what kind of students do they look for? I mostly have excelled in math and science through the years the most (I got a 92 in chemistry and 96 in algebra II last year). Is that what the school would most likely look for?</p>

<p>I pretty much do horrible on the SAT and my best scores are
M: 590
W: 550
CR: 510</p>

<p>I am very involved in activites such as the civil air patrol, track, etc.</p>

<p>Please help by stating what kinds of students they look for particulary, feel free to say if you know somebody who got in and/or rejected.</p>
