<p>Do colleges care much about this or is the total score more important? I'm talking a 780 Verbal and 650 Math but also a 760 on SAT II .</p>
<p>I'd think they care more about verbal and language capabilities which explains why they added the writing section.
no matter what major you enter into, you can't get through college without a decent vocabulary and writing abilities.</p>
<p>Depends on the college.</p>
<p>Considering Brown, Vassar and Tufts.</p>
<p>780 verbal and 650 math is not <em>that</em> much of a discrepancy. they do test completely different things after all.</p>
