College middle 50% SAT score Question

Applying to College

<p>So I got my SAT scores back today, and they are 640 CR, 560 M, 640 W. I was looking around on College Board at the middle 50% of some colleges I'm looking at, and came across this question. Penn State UPark, for example, has a middle 50% of 1630-1940. I am pretty well into that (1840). However, my math score is barely in the middle 50% for math scores at PSU, which is 560-670. My CR is above the middle 50%, which is 530-630, and my writing is at the top of the middle 50%, which is 540-640.</p>

<p>So finally, my question. Will it hurt me that my math score is barely in the middle 50%, or will it be fine since my other scores compare well? Any help is appreciated.</p>

<p>Yes, it will hurt because CR and Math are the most important to colleges.</p>

<p>Your SATs are more than good enough. If your high school record is as good, you are in.</p>
