<p>For a writer, your spelling is pretty mediocre…</p>

<p>Your SAT I isn’t bad. SAT IIs might hurt you.
Good luck.</p>

3

<p>Those are not bad SATs. You can try raising SAT2, but SAT1 looks good to me. </p>

4

<p>SAT I can definitely be improved, because the math is super low, like 50 points improvement and you can definitely be competitive.</p>

5

<p>SATI overall score it good, but Math and Critical Reading combination is REALLY low. You are definitely going to need to get that up, and improve SATIIs. I’d get the math up to 700, and you’ll be good for the SATI. For the SATIIs, maybe try other tests? Get 700+ in both, and that’ll be great.</p>

<p>Woops, just saw that you already applied. The scores won’t hurt you (SAT I overall is strong), and SAT IIs aren’t a huge factor. Good luck.</p>
