Chance Me Please! I have a 800 writing but a 550 math. Does Bates even look at Writing?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Bates College

SAT: 550 Math, 660 Reading, 800 Writing
ACT: 28

My GPA is a 92 and my I have a solid three years of JV sports for three seasons each year, and work and have volunteered at a local animal shelter, but I don’t have any special leadership recognition save a couple Student Of The Month awards and National Spanish Exam awards.

I know my math is bad and I want to retake it but I was wondering if it is worth it (if Bates will even consider my January score if my application is due Jan 1st).

I have already taken the SAT five times now and have gone through books and expensive tutoring and I am very stressed about my low math score. Also I am currently taking Physics and for first quarter my grade was an 80. I am very stressed and don’t know what to do.

Here are the other schools I’m applying to:
American
Bucknell
Carleton
Colgate
Lehigh
Tufts

Thanks in advance!

Bates is test optional so there’s no need to submit scores at all. My son didn’t submit scores and was accepted two years ago. I’m confused though - did you apply already or is this for next year? Good luck to you!

I sent in my application to Bates already. I already submitted my scores

Thanks for clarifying. Check with the adcon for your area and see if retaking and resubmitting the SAT will be considered.

update: I was rejected. It’s okay, though.
