<p>What’s your SAT breakdown? If you have an 800 in Math on the regular SAT, you should be good.</p>

3

<p>Yes an 800 on the regular math, also which of those schools do you think I will have a good chance at?</p>

4

<p>All three. If it’s clear you’re majoring in math, and you have great scores and grades in the scope of mathematics, they might overlook lower reading and writing scores. None of these are guaranteed admission obviously, they’re all very selective, but you certainly stand a good chance. Your lowest chance would probably be at UCLA, but you have a decent shot at CMU with your math score. CMU is arguably a better school for math too</p>

<p>Also, what’s your score on the 1600 range?</p>
