Lopsided SAT/ACT?

<p>I am currently a senior in high school with lopsided SAT and ACT scores. I have taken the SAT three times and received drastically different scores between my Critical Reading and Math sections. I seem to be extremely math "heavy" compared to the reading section, while my writing section is decent. My ACT scores were the same way. I was wondering exactly what admissions officers would think about a lopsided SAT/ACT score, while also considering the fact that I am pursuing a major (and minor) that rely mostly on mathematical and scientifical concepts. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>These colleges will notice you are stronger in math than in reading. However, because you are majoring in subjects that you are stronger in, the impact of relatively lower reading scores may be lessened, depending on how competitive the school is, etc. For example, for a school with average scores of 700 CR and 750 M for math/science majors, the math won’t make up for the CR, whereas at one with 600 CR and 650 M, your scores will be looked at very positively. </p>
