<p>I have heard of Mt. Holyoke through one of my teachers and I am interested in checking out an all-girls college that prides itself in the liberal arts. Also, the fact that Mt. Holyoke is sat/act optional is a huge plus. Here are my stats, I'm wondering how I would measure up in admissions, thank you! </p>

<p>SAT: CR: 590/ Math: 440/ Writing: 660 (essay:11)
ACT: 21
(testing is NOT my strong point) </p>

<p>GPA: 4.03/3.6 unweighted cum.</p>

<p>Classes: Reg. Eng: 9-10/Hon. Eng: 11-12
Hon. History: 9-11/ Media studies: 12
Basic Math 9-11/ Statistics 12
Reg. Science 9-10/ Basic Chem/Physics 11/AP Environmental 12

<p>Have you taken the SAT more than once? If I were you I would try to get my scores up by reading through one of the SAT prep books. Improving your score I think also shows persistence to the colleges.</p>

<p>Poster, Godot, thinks everyone can get a top score … just a matter of understanding the test.</p>

<p>You’re in luck with the SATs because we don’t require them here. In fact, even if they’re on your high school transcript, you can ask to have them redacted from your file and they genuinely won’t even look at them.</p>
