<p>My daughter has taken the SAT's several times and while she has gotten her CR to 720 and WR to 740 her math score remains at a peak of 630.</p>
<p>She has taken honors-level math throughout h.s. and is generally in the 85-88 range.</p>
<p>She has no intention of being a math, science, engineering or other math-oriented major.</p>
<p>Rather she is big on the humanities especially English, Psychology and the Theatre.</p>
<p>Will the relatively low grades and SAT-math score hurt her chances at entrance into Smith/Mt. Holyoke/Wellesley type schools?</p>
<p>Her GPA is 3.9 and ranks in top 5% of her class at a competitive Catholic high school.</p>
<p>Anecdotally, I certainly know of people with skewed SAT scores. You might find this chart interesting: [Wellesley</a> College - Admission & Financial Aid - Testing](<a href=“http://web.wellesley.edu/web/Admission/Apply/FAQ/testing.psml#cutoffs]Wellesley”>http://web.wellesley.edu/web/Admission/Apply/FAQ/testing.psml#cutoffs)</p>
<p>Did your daughter ever try the ACT?</p>
<p>Thanks for the chart. It is very helpful. She has not taken the ACT but is considering it.</p>
<p>I was accepted with an even lower math score than that AND went on to pass the required Quantitative Reasoning test. Wellesley understands some people are just not meant to be mathematicians.</p>
<p>pretty much the same with me as isyrblacksawn–I think I had a 650 for math but 770 for writing and 740 for reading. I wouldn’t worry too much about it, especially with her GPA. Wellesley honestly isn’t that big on judging applicants by test scores although it’s definitely helpful if your GPA isn’t so hot; they place much more value on having extracurriculars that show passion, a good academic record (or at least evidence that you have matured and improved your academics throughout your high school career) and of course the essay.</p>
<p>Wellesleygrrl, that post made me feel sooo much better about my stats. Thanks.</p>
