<p>Hey guys! I'm overall pretty happy with my SAT results, but my October SAT math score is really bugging me (honestly, not that there's much I can do about it this late in the game).</p>
<p>My scores:
January: 770 CR, 740 M, 710 W
October: 800 CR, 690 M, 800 W</p>
<p>I also took Bio M (800) and Math II (770). I'm taking Chem in November.</p>
<p>I applied ED to a highly selective school (overall acceptance rate last year was < 13%).</p>
<p>Will the big drop in math hurt me? I know I can't do anything about it, I just would like to know what to expect/what other people think. Thanks, you guys!</p>
<p>I know the school looks at my best scores…but won’t they still see the 690? Even if they claim to superscore, I know the score is still included in my application.
Do you guys think the 690 could make the difference between an acceptance and a rejection?</p>
<p>Unless you tell us which college you applied to, we can’t really tell whether your scores will severely hurt your chances. Anyway, regardless of what college it is, I don’t think the drop in math will be a deal-breaker. Also, if the college you applied to super-scores, then your super-score 2340, which is excellent for just about any college (and, even if they don’t, you got 2290 on your second sitting, which is also very good).</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Your scores are definitely great, even for very competitive colleges, and there’s nothing you can do about it at this stage anyway.</p>
<p>I applied ED Amherst I know at this stage, there’s nothing I can do. I guess I wish I could know what to expect…I hope they don’t get the idea that I slacked off or something!</p>
<p>I’m sure they won’t get that idea. They’ll probably get the impression that you focused more on improving your reading and writing, and neglected the math a bit, which is understandable. Your scores are a fair bit above average for Amherst (according to [College</a> Search - Amherst College - SAT®, AP®, CLEP®](<a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board)), so it really won’t be an issue.</p>
<p>the same thing kind of happened to me my math went done from 1 790 to a 700, CR went from a 710 to 720, writing went down from an 800 to a 760. should i boter sending</p>
I know at this stage, there’s nothing I can do. I guess I wish I could know what to expect…I hope they don’t get the idea that I slacked off or something!</p>
