<p>What are some good schools in the general northeast region that have either good business or good engineering programs that value SAT scores over GPA? Schools on the caliber of Rutgers NB, Syracuse, VA Tech, Northeastern, BU, etc. Thanks!</p>
<p>I really hope BU looks at SAT more than GPA! It’s my first choice and my unweighted is a bit low (a 3.4, but i took 5 APs and all honors through highschool)
But, I do think many colleges look at mainly the SAT for need-based financial aid!</p>
<p>Look up the common data sets for the schools you are interested in to find out.</p>
<p>Well those right there are the schools I am most interested in. I gave those schools as a basis for the caliber of what schools I am hoping to get into. I was looking for a list of schools on the same level as the ones mentioned in the OP, that are more interested in an applicant with a good SAT and a not so good GPA, than a student with a good GPA, and a not so good SAT.</p>
<p>State schools tend to overlook lower grades for a higher SAT. What is your home state? What can your family afford for school?</p>
