So, a 1970. I know that my math score is extremely low compared to the others. Any way I can fix this without taking the SATs again? I've already taken them twice. I'm planning on majoring in english or psychology, so how huge of a deal is this? </p>

<p>You can choose to just submit your ACT score if you do better this time around. Keep that in mind so that you won’t even have to show colleges your SAT score.</p>

<p>Brown: big reach
BC: slight reach or high match (depending on how you do your ACTs the second time around)
Brandeis: slight reach/high match (same as BC)
Barnard: reach
Skidmore:match
Holy Cross: match
Fordham: match
St. Rose: not familiar</p>

<p>I’d say if you can get your ACT composite up to a 30 or 31 and especially increase your math score a point or two, you should be okay for most of those schools. Brown and Barnard are still going to be reaches though because they are super competitive.</p>
