<p>Wow, those are interesting statistics. I can't help you about which score you should send, but you can find conversion charts on this website and on the college board website. I would be reasonably confident if I were you, but don't bet the house on it. The 490 on the reading will make them cringe. You may want to include an explanation about why your test scores contradict your grades if you get deferred. I have a question for you? How is your weighted gpa 10.17. I also applied EA to Villanova.</p>

<p>Thanks, yeah my 490 is very painful hopefully that will go up. But yeah our school goes off of a 12 point weighted system. We have four levels, Level 4= 12 points, Level 3= 8.5, Level 2= 6, and Level 1= 4. Its a weird system, hence if you get an A in that class you receive the max amount of points then it goes downhill from there and then they get all averaged and thats how I received a 10.17. However, I hate my SAT's so much thats why a lot of my schools that I'm applying to are great liberal arts schools that don't require SAT's.</p>
