<p>I just finished submitting my applications and am nervous about my low math SAT score. Here are my stats:</p>
<p>SAT: Writing 800 Crit Reading 740 Math 640
SAT Subjects: Literature 780 US History 710
GPA: 4.75 Weighted
Rank: 8 out 275 (top 3% at a competetive private school)
I took AP Biology as a sophomore and AP Chemistry as a junior. I took AP US History I as a sophomore and AP US History II as a junior. I have taken all available honors course at my school. Currently, I am taking AP Psychology, AP European History, AP Calculus AB and AP Literature.
4 on AP Bio test
4 on AP US History test
(Did not report my AP Chem score because it was LOW.)
Captain of my cross-country team.
Varsity Winter and Spring Track
Homeroom Representative (My school's version of Student Council) all four years of high school.
Volunteer about 5 hrs a week and even more in the summer for The Jerry Leary Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping needy kids in my area.
Was an active volunteer and High School Representative for the Obama Campaign.
Write editorials on politics and articles on XC/track for my school paper.
Attended Georgetown University's weeklong program on Politics and Public Affairs this summer.
Member of the National Honors Society, Spanish National Honors Society and a National Merit Semifinalist. Recieved my high school's Scholar Athlete Award last year.
My essay is about the time I had to perform in front of the school at a pep rally. I think its pretty rad. My personal statement is about my passion for cross-country and how I was afraid I would be called a loser for being a runner when I was a freshman but now understand its more important to do what you love than to be 'cool.'
My teacher and counselor reccomendations are pretty good, as far as I know. My AP US history teacher said the reccomendation she wrote for me is one of the best she's ever written.
I get all A's and A+'s in my subjects, except science where I've gotten B+'s every year.</p>
<p>Here are the schools I applied to:</p>
<p>Georgetown (early action)
George Washington
American
Washington and Lee
Boston College
Boston University
Northeastern
Drexel
Villanova
Dartmouth
Brown
Bates
NYU</p>
<p>What do you think my chances are at these schools despite my subpar math score? Since I'm applying as a PoliSci major do you think it makes less of an impact?</p>
<p>PS: G-town is my top choice. I'm so nervous about getting a rejection letter on the 15th.</p>
<p>You're stats look very similar to mine and so does your list of schools, lower math score and high reading/writing and applying as a political science major. haha. </p>
<p>Georgetown (early action)- I think you have a very good shot. I'd say it's 50/50.
George Washington- match
American- low match/match
Washington and Lee- not really sure, maybe high match?
Boston College- high match
Boston University- low match
Northeastern- match
Drexel- IN
Villanova- match

George Washington - match, in
American - match, in
Washington and Lee - match, in
Boston College - high match/low reach, probably in
Boston University - match, in

NYU - low reach/high match, probably in</p>
<p>Georgetown (early action) - low reach (will be slightly tougher because of the major)
George Washington - match
American - match/safety
Washington and Lee - match
Boston College - low reach
Boston University - match/safety
Northeastern - match/safety
Drexel - safety
Villanova - match
Dartmouth - reach, definitely not impossible (30%)
Brown - reach, slightly better chance than Dartmouth

<p>Also, about not reporting the low AP score, I probably would unless it's like a 1 because colleges are going to think the worst if you do not.</p>

<p>I think you'll be fine. By the time I got to the end of your credentials, I'd forgotten about the math score--the rest of your application is that strong. Hopefully colleges will feel the same! And applying as a Poli-Sci major helps as well. </p>
<p>I think you have a pretty solid application.</p>
