<p>Yeh, Jan28th scores would not count towards your ED chances… You’ll find out before then…</p>

<p>I am really good at math (6 on AIME), but i somehow screwed up my SAT math on my second sitting (I got only a 690) because of a stupid bubbling mistake. I have demonstrated my ability in math in the rest of my application, but i didn’t write anything to explain the reason for my low math score on my second SAT test. Will this hurt me?</p>
