<p>Of course I took the SAT and ACT in the previous century but I do remember that my SAT Math score and my Math & Science scores on the ACT helped me for admissions. I was a barely 3.0 GPA student in high school with my highest math being something called “Analytic Geometry” (another pre-calc type course) and was admitted to the following schools:</p>
<p>Ohio State (I am from Ohio and back then Ohio State did not have super-high admission GPA’s)
Syracuse (given very little financial help)
Dartmouth (given very little financial help)
Michigan State (given the best financial package)
Indiana Univ (planned to be Physics major since there was no engineering there)</p>
<p>I ended up choosing Michigan State for undergrad.</p>
<p>I do remember many incoming freshman (from Michigan) with me had higher high-school GPA’s but their Math SAT/ACT were not as high as mine. Also, many of them had higher GPA’s but for some reason could not test into Calculus I right off the bat (I tested into Calculus I).</p>
<p>So like someone else mentioned, the SAT/ACT (especially the Math score) can be very important for engineering majors.</p>
<p>Note: I had planned to be an EE major but had to “tap out” after electromagnetic waves…then switched to Math/CS.</p>
