<p>To be quite frank, that 580 is still going to be a problem. In terms of importance, I would say that most schools would rank the SAT sections, from most to least critical, as CR, M, and then W. No matter what you major in, critical reading skills will be essential.
For example,
<a href=“From%20Vandy’s%20website”>quote</a>
The main objectives of Math 200 are:
-to teach the students how to properly write proofs in a formal, mathematical language
-to expose the students to several different areas of mathematics, sampling through problems the intrinsic beauty of this field
-to expand the experience of students with problem solving, offering problems that are more challenging than the standard exercises found in a textbook
-to review and build upon some topics covered in other math classes such as calculus, linear algebra, abstract algebra, combinatorics, number theory, geometry, real analysis (however, prior knowledge of advanced math math topics is not required)

<p>Also, you will be competing with applicants that have 700+ in each section, in addition to amazing EC’s and awards. Unless you can present some compelling reason why you should be accepted over the kid who is exactly like you except with 200 extra points on CR, Vandy and Brown might be a bit of a reach. However, you can still try (if possible, retake SAT I. I know Vandy does score choice, not so sure about Brown).</p>
