Will my low reading score hurt me?

@misschoding Hmm. I know next to nothing about liberal arts schools and know nothing about Wellesley/Vassar. Upon googling their acceptance rate, it looks like 28%/22% to me. Sorry to break it to you, but your scores are definitely on the lower end of their applicant pool. Unless you have STELLAR extra-curriculars, your chances at those schools (in my opinion) are pretty low.

EDIT: Woah, I misread your post. I thought you said you had 600 on each section, but upon rereading it looks like you have 800 800 600. But still, the 600 will drag you down. How do your extracurriculars look?

I took the SAT once. Be aware that colleges can see how many times you’ve taken the SAT. I don’t know anyone who had taken it more than 3 times. If you want to take it a 5th time, go for it, but you should really be improving each time.

Message me if you want advice or if you have any questions.
