<p>Do schools look askance when the math ACT is 23 and the English is 33, with a comp score of 28? GPA is 3.2., honors and AP history and English classes, regular level science and math. We suspect math LD, but no IEP. Loves music and language. Should she take a senior year math class? Any advice would be welcome! Thanks.</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat, my SAT scores were cr 800, writing 710 and math 570 (up from 490 the first time, haha!)</p>
<p>I don’t know about a senior year math class-it depends on the schools you are applying to and if they require them or not. I’d recommend a science class if not a math class to show that she is challenging herself. </p>
<p>I don’t know if you asked for this advice, but I’d advise her to apply to smaller schools that can recognize that she excels a lot in one area. I’d also advise her to take the SAT because high critical reading and writing scores can make the overall score higher even with the math, as opposed to ACT which has math AND science sections. I scored a 28 on my ACT but a 2080 on my (superscored) SAT, which is much better comparatively. Also, because she is a good writer, she will be able to excel on the Common App essay, which will also help her chances of admission. </p>
<p>I had a fairly low gpa (2.9 up to 3.0 because of a 3.8 senior year) and was in the same boat concerning standardized test scores and I’ve been pretty successful in my college admissions. I wouldn’t worry about it, though I’d continue to excel in English and try hard in math. It also helps if she has writing or reading based extracurriculars or awards.</p>
<p>Don’t worry too much about the low math score, but definitely take a senior year math class.</p>
<p>it really depends on your major because schools will certainely understand to an extent that your math score was lower than your reading if say you want to be an english major.</p>
<p>i have the same problem–the math score on my SAT was 610, as compared to my 740 and 720 in writing and critical reading. I hate math, but i’m still taking a math class next year to show that i’m challenging myself. Plus, chances are your daughter will have to take some sort of math class, even if it’s a basic one, at college. Skipping math her senior year will only make math harder at college.</p>
<p>Yeah, this would really be a problem if you wanted to be a math or engineering (or something of the like) major, but even then, that’s not conclusive. I wouldn’t worry about it. But take a senior year math class, maybe take a tough one. You’re imperfect. But you’re willing to try.</p>
