Will a 590 reading SAT score hold me back from top colleges?

And when I say top schools I mean competitive schools, but not Ivy League caliber.</p>

<p>ie UVA, NYU, UNC etc.

</p>

<p>NYU proper does not have engineering; PINYU (which is in the process of merging with NYU) does, but it is generally not considered to be super competitive for admissions (in [Polytechnic</a> Institute of New York University Admissions Information - CollegeData College Profile](<a href=“http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg02_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=102]Polytechnic”>http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg02_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=102) , the middle 50% for SAT-CR is listed as 560-660).</p>

<p>UNC-CH does not have engineering; do you mean a different UNC campus?</p>
