sat score range for engineering school

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I am interested in the ranges, say 25th to 75th percentile, for the SAT scores
of students who matriculate in the different schools at Penn. I am particularly interested in
the engineering scores. Someone told me that these scores would be available from
The Office of Institutional Research and Planning website but I could not find them.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks</p>

<p>Yeah… this is the Cornell board.</p>

<p>This isn’t the Penn forum, but the 25/75 of Cornell Engineering Math Scores is 720-790.</p>

<p>Sorry! I had meant Cornell. Thanks CayugaRed2005. Can you tell me where you found the 720-790
score as I looked and could not find it? I am, perhaps surprisingly, actually more interested in the reading score. If you know that as well that would be great or perhaps you could just point me to where I can take a look.</p>

<p>Thanks again</p>

<p>640-730</p>

<p>Thank you CayugaRed.</p>

<p>CayugaRed, I dont see CALS in that report. Can you provide the same report for CALS? Thanks.</p>

<p>Hi TaeKwondo</p>

<p>After the help that CayugaRed gave, I worked out how to find the other one.</p>

<p>For me the most interesting feature is how close the scores are.
It is easy to see shifts of 20 points or so but the major feature is the large overlap in scores. The other interesting feature is that the engineering students have about as good scores for reading as do the students in arts and sciences. The math scores are on average quite a bit higher. I expect this is true at many other schools although it is not always easy to find the data. This makes sense as it is clearly important that engineers be strong in math. </p>

<p>The other point that is worth making is that students often compare one college to another and some worry about very small differences in SAT scores. These differences can sometimes be explained by the emphasis that some universities put on scientific studies versus humanities. For example Penn has a fairly large business school. These students will like the engineering students at Cornell have high math scores. The reading scores of these students will look similar to those in Arts and Sciences.</p>
