<p>1) A philosophy major should have a better math SAT. For example, mathematical logic is considered part math and part philosophy. Retake the SAT.</p>
<p>2) I’ve read where studying Strunk & White - The Elements of Style can improve writing test scores. However, I don’t think UChicago uses the writing score but instead pays very close attention to its uncommon essays. See score ranges at

<p>3) Your grades are strong. However, your writing score of 630 is low at Reed where 670 m 720 cr is average. Try something less popular than Brown in the East like Wesleyan as an option to Reed. Pitt is a great safety as it’s well known in philosophy.</p>
