Retake SAT I or Go for SAT II M1

<p>Hey there,</p>

<p>Thanks to everyone who will dedicate some time to read this thread and even more to those who will answer. I just got my may sat scores, not as good as I expected but got 1660. 550 CR 570M 540WR. I understand that this is a very poor score for engineering. In addition I already graduated from high school in my country last December, and didn’t take the SAT until Now. I already registered for sat 2 M1, I belive I can score in the 600's. In addition I served in the army in the national guard of my country for a year and back in High school I was a very good student, my approval rate was above 85% and my class rank was top 10%. Having said that all, I am planning to apply to colleges this summer. Which Decent engineering schools are out there that I could get to with no or little difficulties?
One good thing is that I am not requiring financial aid, meaning that my chances are a little higher there.</p>

<p>Should I retake SAT I or go for SAT II, since you can only choose one to take, and July is the last date to take either of those test to apply no later than august. I belive that it is better for me, to go and take the subject instead of retaking it. </p>

<p>I am planning to major in Electrical engineering and have considered schools like:</p>

<p>University Of Minnesota-Twin Cities</p>

<p>Texas A&M University</p>

<p>Milwaukee School Of engineering</p>

<p>Rochester Institute of Technology</p>

<p>Arizona State University</p>

<p>Virginia Tech</p>

<p>University Of Michigan At Ann Arbor</p>

<p>Indiana Tech</p>

<p>What do you think; will I get into any of those? And Are these schools strong enough to study engineering there? What do you think of them, are they attractive enough to make such an investment?</p>

<p>Thanks…</p>

<p>Not all schools require SAT2. Until you reach certain level, your SAT1 score would be far more important than SAT2.</p>

<p>^^ I second that.</p>
