<p>I'm wondering what colleges might overlook bad english/social studies grades if I have perfect math/science grades. My overall GPA is a 3.8 because I've gotten Bs and Cs in english and social studies, but I have all As in math and science.</p>
<p>This is the list of colleges I'm thinking of applying to:
University of Michigan (honors)
University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign (honors)
University of Rochester
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
UT Austin (honors)
Smith College
University of the Pacific
Harvey Mudd
Washington University
Carnegie Mellon University
University of Southern California
Tufts University
Northwestern University
Rice University
University of Virginia (honors)
George Washington University
John Hopkins University
Cornell University
Duke University
Swarthmore College
University of Pennsylvania
UC Berkeley
California Institute of Technology
MIT
Princeton University
Stanford University
Dartmouth
Columbia University
Brown University</p>
<p>Which of these care more about math/science?</p>
<p>For most students, math and science are considered the hardest subjects. Why are your English and social studies grades so low?</p>
<p>for many of those school such as ivy leagues (but not limited to) you’ll be competing against kids with great grades across the board</p>
<p>If you are applying into an engineering program, Math/Science will probably be weighed more heavily than Eng/Hist, but that doesnt mean that they dont matter.</p>
<p>If you plan on majoring in math or science, I think most the colleges here would consider your science/math grades more than they consider your English/social studies grades.</p>
<p>Annasdad: What makes you think that? Personally, I think English and social studies are much harder than math and science classes. It’s all a matter of opinion.</p>
<p>Lol I think math/science classes are easy. English and social studies are way harder for me. Also, since homework tends to be weighted more heavily in English and social studies, a couple missing assignments can kill your grade. </p>
<p>Most of the low grades are from sophomore year. I was sick a lot that year and I tried to do too many activities and hard classes, like AP English as the only sophomore at my school to ever take it.</p>
<p>It depends on which major you are planning to apply.</p>
