<p>Hi,</p>
<p>My weighted average is over 100, I got an 800 on the math section of the sat, and a 550 on the cr section. An 800 on both math level 1 and math level 2. I have many extracurriculars and I’ve received many math, science, research, and music based awards throughout my high school career. I will be a senior in high school next year, and I’m looking for a school that has a good undergraduate math program. I would prefer not to go to a tech school so that if I decide to change major it won’t be as bad. Thanks for your input.</p>
<p>Are you hoping to substantially raise the CR score?</p>
<p>University of Missouri-Rolla–great math and science.</p>
<p>i’ve taken it twice first time 800/540 second time 800/550, im finished</p>
<p>and I want to stay in the northeast</p>
<p>^ ok, well then scratch my idea.</p>
<p>Are you interested in math math, or engineering, etc.? I imagine that RPI would be fine with your imbalanced scores (and, depending on how strong you are in math, a lot of top schools).</p>
<p>Quick anecdote to cheer you up: My good friend was your opposite-- an A student in English, history, and language, a B/C student in math and science. Didn’t even bother with an AP Calc or science (which, in my school, is supposed to be a big no-no if you’re looking to attend a top college). Yale and Princeton didn’t mind.</p>
<p>Especially if you live in NY, Cornell. You might be a candidate for Harvard, Yale, Princeton. Why the relatively low CR score? Your perfect math scores might outweigh the CR score. NYU is good for math.</p>
<p>Rutgers supposedly has a very strong math department. There are a lot of in-state kids who turn down Princeton and Harvard because of the faculty at Rutgers.</p>
<p>I think Chicago has one of the top 5 math programs in the country. It has a lot of strength in many other departments, which will give you some other options if needed. Plus, with its holistic approach to admission, a 550 won’t keep you out by itself.</p>

<p>schools with *s are some of my favorites for undergraduate math.</p>
<p>also, schools with overall admissions requirements greater than the strength their the math departments (such as penn) were not included.</p>
<p>Chicago came up as an option… unless you’re willing to do more reading/writing (and you just happen not to test that well in it relatively), avoid it and Columbia. Both have reading/writing-heavy core curricula.</p>

<p>i thank all the others</p>
<p>any other ideas?</p>
<p>UMich isn’t good for any undergrad, excluding sciences, engineering, and business.</p>
