<p>Ns, my highest math score (of three sittings!) is below the 50% percentile. That's what I was worried about. And schools don't usually take the writing section into consideration. Anyway, two other students from my school got in, but they won't be going. That means I can bum 2 extra car stickers! :)</p>
