<p>I got a 2120. Reading 790 Math 710 Writing 620
I am wondering the sort of effect it will have on my app?
Also, I heard that SAT doesn’t look at writing. Is that true?
Last thing, is the effect of a low score (for MIT) nullified by other factors.
Will the low math (710) be a problem?</p>
<p>Pertinent Info…
Senior Course load:
Differential Equation, Linear Algebra, Number Theory, Intro Into Advanced Calculus
AP U.S., AP LIT, Weight Training, Jewish Studies, Financial Markets,

<p>And Self Studying Spanish, Chinese, and Philosophy
I Know it’s a lot but i plan on taking them all (if anything, I will cut out the Jewish Studies, and Financial Markets)</p>
<p>URM
12 AP’s Mainly 5’s

California?
No National or Big Awards. A few state 1st’s places in Business and 3 School recognitions for math</p>
<p>Your senior courseload looks insane! You still have time to retake the SAT. Try to bring up that writing score - it couldn’t hurt. And what about your EC’s. I was admitted to MIT and I didn’t have nearly as much preparation in math and physics as you do. However, MIT still has a 8-course humanities requirement which means you’re going to have to be able to write good papers. So I would definitely bring up that writing score but otherwise, your academics look great!</p>
<p>Your SAT scores are far from low. Most colleges do not look at the writing portion. They take the reading and math scores so total is out of 1600.</p>
<p>Your senior course load is intense, but quite doable. Your SAT scores are weak (particularly math and writing), but I’ll just say now that I got admitted with a lower score than yours (2070 – 610 R, 800 M, 660 W). If you bring up your writing and math scores you shouldn’t be too bad.</p>
<p>Do you have any noteworthy EC’s or job/volunteer experience? If not, that may easily break your chances of admission atop everything else.</p>
<p>Thanks!
See, I was kind of nervous when I took it. I had been preparing for a while and my lowest practice was a 2350 (grammar being my achille’s heel) but I just goofed when it came to the real thing.</p>
<p>If you guys don’t mind…please re-evaluate with my ec’s and volunteer experience in mind</p>

<p>I don’t know if it counts but i have this personal motto creed that disagrees with turning in hours for helping people for moral grounds. I only got 250 because its a good number from what I’ve heard. is this something I should mention on apps? In total, I would have had 400hours at least 500 at most (but too late to count)</p>
<p>btw, if its any consolation I didnt mean for this to be a chance me thread</p>
<p>I wrote a big thing on another thread about why professional admissions counselors are valuable. For you in particular, you have to do a lot of writing on your app, SAT says you write well but not great. Pro admissions counselor will critique your essays over and over until they are good.</p>
<p>Ehh, you have a slim chance. Your EC’s are more business/leadership-oriented, which is definitely a good thing, but keep in mind you’re going against applicants who have won major national and international awards in math and science. I wouldn’t mention your personal motto, but if you apply and are interviewed, you can definitely mention it.</p>
<p>MIT has its own business school (Sloan School of Management)…I don’t know much about it but you can look it up if you wish :)</p>
