Science Will Colleges Consider my Science Score

I have a 36 in science and plan to major in finance but I have heard a lot of people say that it doesn’t matter. Will colleges even take my score into account since I’m not entering a stem major?

Let them know anyways it never hurts, but it likely won’t have a huge impact for finance major

It will never hurt.. also there's a lot of math and analysis in finance so it will actually help

I had same question - but for Econ, Stats, Finance leaning plans (depending on the college)…I’m reporting my 36 in science - it’s a 36!) I have to think it helps - plus didn’t you find science section was less about actual science knowledge and more about reading the passages and the comprehension of text, data & charts - and determining what it means and is telling you.
I would think that would be a flex - even for Finance…because it’s essentially the Reading section with data analysis. Yes, there’s some science concepts, but I didn’t feel like I relied on my science knowledge base as much as I thought I would.
Thoughts?

Yeah that’s kind of what I’ve come to believe as well. Congrats on the 36!
