<p>try sending ACT with writing, I think they take that too.</p>

<p>nefan32 is right. Send in an app and register for either the SAT II or the ACT. I would personally do the ACT, since you can increase your SATs at the same time - heck do both if you want to.</p>

5

<p>Consider GCS as I’am myself, although I much would rather be accepted into CLAS.</p>

6

<p>If you apply without meeting the requirements, you’ll probably get put into CGS. Your SAT I are low-average for SMG, but above average for CGS.</p>

<p>So your options are: 1) Take an additional SAT II or the ACT and try getting into SMG. 2) Get accepted to CGS and tranfer to SMG after 2 years… which is not worth it unless you get a lot of financial aid.</p>
