<p>Do you guys honestly think that 730 would hurt me (all of the B's in my entire high school career are from math courses)? </p>
<p>I'm applying to the top-tier schools.</p>
<p>I think colleges know that the difference between a 730 and a 760 is one question- 2 at most. Do you really think that a school would reject you because of one or two math questions??</p>
<p>Colleges expect you to have strengths and weaknesses, not be a perfect robot equally strong in all areas. Your B's and your lowest SATs are in math. You aren't planning on majoring in math or applying to MIT , are you? Then don't worry, it's ok.</p>
<p>My D got into Yale with a similar score on the SAT I - didn't do as well on the II. There is SO much more that is of consequence in your application, especially at the top schools.</p>
<p>yea really depends on what you are applying to. if you are a literature major no one's going to expect your to be a math genius also. its the whole package that counts.</p>
<p>but for math guy like me, I'm sure MIT must reject me neglect my Math IIC was 800 (Math I 790) with verbal 440.</p>
<p>ASAP, I'm more math/science-oriented, and I only sent teacher recommendations from my physics, math, and chem teacher (11th grade teachers). Is it bad that I didn't send any recs. from an English/History teacher? I'm applying to some top schools like Penn, Johns Hopkins, etc. I got a B in both English and History last year (my only 2 B's on my transcript). These teachers were just unusually difficult (one was the teacher of the year for Pa and the other was just really tough--only one person got an A in that class). Help!</p>
