hi,
i got 780 on maths ,760 on writing and 580 on reading.i am applying for engineering in uc berkeley .will my marks in reading affect my chances of getting into berkeley and other top notch colleges.
CR is a more important section than W, so yes, your chances will be affected, but how much, who knows? You’re below the bottom quartile for UCB in CR. Your other scores are excellent, though. Your essays might be the difference.
I’d strongly consider studying over the summer for the CR part and re-taking the exam in the fall.
