<p>The other point I’d like to make is that colleges look at CR + M. You may be a little low in one but make it up by being higher in the other. This student is a combined 1480. Browns average combo (50th percentile) is 1425. Dartmouth is 1450…Cornell is lower than that (varies from college to college within Cornell). I’d go with option B, taking the ACT. Do your best to help your chances but in the end you’ll get into a school you belong at. Don’t get so hung up on this that you don’t enjoy your senior year…you are going to be just fine. Remember…things turn out the best for those who make the best of the way things turn out!!</p>
