My expectations vs. reality college search

<p>One approach is to look at SAT-optional schools - [SAT/ACT</a> Optional 4-Year Universities | FairTest](<a href=“http://www.fairtest.org/university/optional]SAT/ACT”>ACT/SAT Optional List - Fairtest)
I know for example, that WPI is one engineering school that is test-optional (you do have to submit supplementary materials).
This has been discussed before, here is one thread to read:

There may be others, trying searching around. Also look at the Engineering Majors forum for ideas.</p>

<p>Also, you have two things working in your favor (beyond your GPA and other qualifications of course) when applying to engineering programs:
you are female and Hispanic. Both are seriously underrepresented in the engineering world! Employers AND colleges are working hard to attract these students.</p>
