<p>Most colleges superscore, so even if the CR and W scores were to drop a bit, it would still be helpful if the M score went up.</p>
<p>I repeat that the math score OP has is at the 25th percentile for a number of the highly selective colleges. Why would anybody think that is “absolutely close enough” for somebody who is interested in a STEM major? Certainly, it’s good enough for many, many excellent colleges. But that wasn’t the question.</p>
