<p>It’s your math SAT. You might not like to hear it, but it is obvious. According to their common data set, your score is in the bottom 1% of enrolled freshman for fall 2010 and scores creeped up some more for 2011. It’s a huge red flag no matter what your intended major. If you can, you absolutely have to take your SATs again, maybe try the ACTs. Practice, practice, practice before you take them. Pitt superscores, so concentrate just on the Math. </p>
<p>And although you may just be interested in English, a good liberal arts education will demand that you strive to be well rounded, and I know at least a logic course will probably be required for everyone. In biology, you’ll definitely need to be able to do some math, particularly statistics, and probably have to take a calculus course. You’ve said you do well in math classes in high school, just not on standardized tests. Well that shows that you can get the concepts, it is now just about practicing the type of problems that appear on standardized in an environment as similar as you can simulate to the SAT as much as you can.</p>
