SAT II Scores for engineering

<p>How much higher do sat II scores for engineers generally have to be (at Princeton, or otherwise?) would a 740 in math II be considered "too low" for someone applying as an engineer? Also, how many subject tests do we have to send to p-ton?</p>

<p>While there will be a lot applicants with Math level 2 scores of 780-800, I expect some with lower scores will be accepted. Hardly a definitive answer, I admit, but it’s my best guess. Good luck.</p>

<p>Do you only submit two or can you submit more if you’ve taken them?</p>

<p>You can submit all you like. K1 submitted 4.</p>

<p>How’d you guess? :wink: No lie, I got the exact score you said above for Math 2 and I was accepted this year into BSE. There’s no real cutoff but IMO, 750+ is pretty safe, if it’s possible to attain. The extra essay about why you want to do engineering at Princeton I assume also carries a lot of weight on your application as an engineer. </p>

<p>I submitted 3 subject tests: Math 2, Chemistry, and U.S. History, just to round out everything, but 2 is the minimum.</p>

<p>@aymiusa you just made my day! hehe :slight_smile: congrats on your acceptance! What kind of engineering are you planning on studying?</p>

<p>@bioninja I applied for Chemical Engineering, but I just switched out of the BSE program and I want to major in plain old Chemistry or in the humanities. Summer’s not over yet, so who knows! I might change my mind again :)>- </p>

<p>@aymiusa‌ That’s super cool. What drew you towards ChemE above all of the other engineering subjects?</p>
