<p>Science and math ACT subscores are somewhat suspect for AeroE.</p>

<p>UMinn: Match
UMI: Reach
Purdue: Match/High match
GA Tech: Match/High match
USC Viterbi: Reach
WPI: Low match
RPI: Match
UIUC: Reach (but it’s reachable)</p>

<p>UMinn: match
Purdue: match</p>

<p>If you improve your ACT…you’ll change those to low match.</p>

<p>ACT 28 is low for Purdue engineering particularly for oos. If you can bring it up to 32 as you said, then it will be a match. Both UMich and UIUC engineering have mid 50 ACT 31-34. So you should aim at 33+ as oos student.</p>
