skewed test scores? what will colleges think?

Applying to College

<p>my problem is that my SAT Critical Reading score was in the 99th percentile, a 770, and my Math was in the 64th, a 560. (my writing score was in the 89th percentile - 640, but I’ve heard that not too many colleges pay attention to that part anyway.)</p>

<p>so, if I’m looking to be an English major without ANY intention of doing anything math-related…will that depressing math score really hurt me THAT much? or might college admissions look the other way and focus on the critical reading?</p>

<p>If you’d like, you could take a Math SAT II and prepare for that. If you do well on that, it tells colleges that maybe you just had a bad test day the first time.</p>
