<p>I know guys, that’s why I found it strange. But I applied early action, and the UChicago counselor told my counselor that they do not want to see any test scores below a 700, particularly in critical reading and writing, coz they want students in early action who for sure would get accepted during regular decision. It’s especially strange since I got a 34 in critical reading on the act so it’s not like I can’t do critical reading sections or something.
I’m not at all bitter or anything at the staff…a little surprised though.</p>
<p>P.S. I took the sat’s twice and did even worse the second time, which could have factored into the decision.</p>
