<p>OP, I thought mom2collegekids gave you great advice in post #19. It’s a little surprising to me that you would respond like this. She is just trying to help you, as we all are.</p>
<p>I also agree with her that your English literacy is not the main issue in your scores, because you went through your entire school career in English and earned great grades. </p>
<p>I’m relieved to hear that you have wondered about the discrepancy. Have you talked with your school counselor about this? </p>
<p>I echo the recommendation that you consider UCR and Merced. </p>
<p>Please don’t pout. You will need to get used to being challenged - especially if you are a physician!</p>
