<p>I'm applying to some schools that are SAT optional-</p>
<p>Bowdoin, Holy Cross, Providence, and maybe some others.</p>
<p>my scores are:
750CR 600M 740W</p>
<p>700 USH
700 Lit</p>
<p>The only thing I'm unsure about thats making me think twice is my math score which I cant bring up.</p>
<p>For all three, the scores are within and even above their median scores, so why not? I don't see how it could hurt you.</p>
<p>Holy Cross wants to see good grades in as many AP courses as possible, as well as volunteer work where helping others is involved, as is the Jesuit tradition. Sports, music (being a well-rounded individual) also helps.</p>
<p>If you submit these SAT scores, do well in a good number of AP classes, do charity work such as working in a hospital, etc., you will be a formidable candidate.</p>
<p>I believe that those who do well on the SAT submit them, and you did fine.</p>
<p>Although your CR SAT score is very competitive, your math score is 50 points below the 25% percentile for Bowdoin. The combined Math/CR score also puts you 50 points below midpoint for Bowdoin. I think you are correct that the negative of the math score will outweigh the positive CR and W scores.
