Where can you find the SAT ranges for engineering schools specifically?

College Search & Selection

<p>How do you determine the selectivity of an engineering school? Engineering schools are generally more selective than the rest of the university, at least in math SAT terms. I know that Cornell engineering is about 730-800 for math and 640-730 for reading. I think the median math/reading SAT at Michigan is 1410.</p>

<p>The SAT ranges for the engineering schools are really hard to get. If you know the SAT ranges for a particular school, please post.</p>

<p>In engineering schools, I think the math and reading SATs can be quite different because many engineering students are international students.</p>

<p>I am especially interested in the top 15 US News PhD granting schools:
MIT
Stanford
Berkeley
Caltech
Georgia Tech
Illinois - Urbana
Carnegie Mellon
Cornell
Michigan
Purdue
Texas - Austin
Princeton
Northwestern
Wisconsin - Madison
Texas A&M
Virginia Tech</p>

<p>OP apparently wants the information for the engineering divisions of the schools, not the entire-school information listed in the CDS.</p>

<p>^ correct. I am also interested in the engineering graduation rate. It would be nice to know the graduation rate of engineering students FROM ENGINEERING, minus those who transfer out…probably too much to hope for. I know the Cornell engineering grad rate is about 92%. Not sure how many transfer out.</p>

<p>Engineering often has different admissions standards. How do prospective students know which engineering schools are a match?</p>

<p>GTech 2014 Freshman Class Profile…includes primarily in-state and nearly half non-Engg. school admits</p>

<p><a href=“http://profiles.asee.org/”>http://profiles.asee.org/&lt;/a&gt; can show how many engineering students there are at each class level, which can give hints about retention and graduation rates in engineering. Mostly, they track with admission selectivity.</p>

<p>However, be careful in that some schools list class level by credits, so incoming students with lots of AP credit may be “sophomores”. So the school may appear to have too few frosh and too many seniors in this case. In addition, schools with a large intake of junior transfers will have a larger junior class than sophomore class.</p>

<p>For UIUC, 2014 admitted freshman class of the Engg. school…mid 50%</p>

<p>ACT 31-34</p>

<p>SAT 1400-1510</p>

<p>You need to go to each school’s web site to see if they publish that specific info since it’s a subset of the overall CDS data.</p>

<p>This will be a little help. Remember that some colleges like MIT, GT, and CalTech will not have a separate engineering school and so no separate profiles.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the helpful replies. I checked several university web sites without success. Evidently, this is information that engineering colleges don’t share freely. I noticed a big difference between reading and math SAT at UIUC for the overall freshman class…a 125 point difference between the midpoints. Maybe the SATs all come from the engineering school…all others take ACTs???</p>

<p>MIT does have an engineering school but it (as well as schools like Caltech and Stanford) don’t consider intended major during admissions, so you can just go by the overall scores.</p>
