<p>Low SAT might be problematic. But it is just the math score which is poor so it tells them you are smart, but not very strong in math/science (indicated by classes, SAT IIs and letter of rec. choices?). If the essays were good, and you conveyed your strengths and why you like history/english, you probably have a good chance. Kinda late to be asking though...</p>

<p>ya exactly...i'm definitely more english-minded and i think that translates in my Ec's and all of my stuff - but yes, my essay will be great and i intend to major in philosophy so hopefully they won't be too concerned about the 620 in math and focus on my high scores. </p>

<p>--i'm a junior so i have some time. But anyway, would you advise that i take the SAT again to try to up the math score or do you think it's a waste of time? Also, how are my EC's??</p>
