<p>Looking at the common data sets for all the schools I’m interested at confirms my suspicions. My math score remains either right at or 10-30 points below the 25th percentile for math SAT scores while my critical reading & writing sections are at or above the 75th percentile. </p>
<p>I guess I’m still a little unsure as to how much this could effect my chances of admission since my CR & W are so strong while math is, quite frankly, below these schools expectations. Does a math score below a top colleges expectations hurt you a whole lot, even when coupled with other sections which balance out your overall score? Also, as you may have been able to infer from my scores, math is most definitely NOT my main interest and I would not be applying to an engineering school/department.</p>
