<p>I am worried about my SAT low verbal score and activities.</p>

<p>Well obviously math is your strength and everything in your application caters to that. I'm assuming you don't want to be an english major, so that's good. Try to take the SAT again, if you have time because an upward trend would be great. You scores are low, but understandable in my opinion since the SAT is, verbally, a hard test to master. That just gives you something to work on because I'm sure there are a handful of people in a similar predicament.</p>

<p>I'd personally let you in because your math/science abilities seem amazing...of course I'm not at adcom and I'm kind of a "what are your chances" novice...so I wouldn't go by me:)</p>
