Is this 1600 out of a potential 2400?
What are your critical reading and math scores?

I think your academics (GPA & SAT) are a little weak. Look at the attached link for SAT & GPA averages. Hopefully your PT, leadership and interview scores will be high enough to offset those.

Are you sure you want to pursue a career in engineering? Most of the engineering students I've seen have fairly high math SAT scores. Not to say that you can't be successful in engineering but it does require a lot of "high" level math. Certainly the Air Force likes engineers, but you also need to be able to graduate with a degree.

Good Luck!

Well hopefully my PT and interview scores do help.
