I have very poor verbal score..Wharton..cares?

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>i’m back</p>

<p>i have Very low scores (SAT even lower)</p>

<p>English: 29-30 <<<low
Math: 36 (i know i will get a 36)
Readng: 27-29 <<<<low
Science: 31-32</p>

<p>SAT II Math 1 and 2, I get 800s</p>

<p>will wharton take this in consideration? (high math and low verbal)
will my perfect Math scores balance my weak verbal scores?</p>

<p>i’m also asian (lived here forever tho), speak chinese at home</p>

<p>It was interesting on the decisions board Penn seems to be a lot less # based than other Ivy leagues. I think you would be fine (I remember reading thru all of your top notch EC's). </p>

<p>But obviously, the higher verbal the better (although top notch math is def. Wharton's big thing it seems)</p>

<p>well first, you can't really guarantee that you get a 36 on any part of the act, the tests differ a lot. Also, english is easy to improve with studying (look at a sat2 writing book or something). I went up 5 points. Reading also will go up if you read more.</p>

<p>Yeah, isnt the ACT math section is pretty hard to perfect compared to SAT math? Like .1% get 36 or something? I suppose it does depend on what test you take though.</p>

<p>I dont think Wharton cares a whole lot about any one single score just as long as overall you do well on the standaridized tests. Supposedly math iic is the most important one; i got 660 and 700 on it and I still got in. So dont wory to much about one verbal or english score.</p>

<p>Yea Chanman. Although my SAT I was really good (780v, 740m), My Sat II Math tests were mediocre: (670 Math IC, 660 IIC). I was just accepted to Wharton for the class of '09. So if your math is really good and verbal so-so I would assume that it would be ok, provided you have some good hooks along the way. My biggest advice to you is just to show the admissions office that you love penn! That's what I did!</p>

<p>i want to show! but so far, they dont really know my name yet. Any ideas on how to show?
i've emailed them, but thats really as far as i can get right now
(until i do college visits)</p>

<p>you forgot an article in your title. :P</p>

<p>yeah!!!! my IIcs were pretty shoddy! i took them twice, too, and canceled a score.. lol.. 720 yuck. (all of my friends who take it all get like 800s and high 700s. and they're like 'it's sooo easy" and i feel inadequate. but muhaha. look who got into wharton)</p>

<p>I think low verbals would hurt
take me for instance.
800M 680V
760 Math IIC 660 Writing
REJECTED
Even though i have office work experience and active participation in stock market competitions.</p>

<p>the low verbal MIGHT not be a HUGE problem, buuuuut...
if it reflects on your essays, that is not a good thing at all.</p>

<p>ohhh
I will NOT reflect it on my essay
I can write much more better than I can reading-the SAT/ACt. (not trying to brag)</p>
