3 SAT II's but not different subjects...

Colleges and Universities A-Z Princeton University

<p>I had 640 CR 770 Math 700 Writing SATI. Math Level 1:750 Math Level 2: 760
Spanish:770</p>

<p>I had a 3.92 UW GPA ranked 6 out of 410 students. My weighted was 4.83 4 out of 410 students. I took 3 AP classes last year and was an AP scholar.
I co-founded a chapter of JSA, was the VP of Building with Books (raised $ to send to schools in Africa), VP of NHS, President of Physics Club, Co-captain of Math team, secretary of interact (another volunteer organization).</p>

<p>Also, my parents are first generation immigrants from Argentina, so I am hispanic and my first language and the language spoken at home is Spanish. Neither of my parents have gone to college and I come from a very low-income family.</p>

<p>My essay was about a life altering event in which my father was diagnosed with stomach cancer...</p>

<p>Now my question is I know princeton expects 3 DIFFERENT SUBJECTS in the SAT II's but I only have 2. How much will they penalize me for that? And is it so much that its not even worth applying??</p>

<p>Thanks...</p>

<p>I have the same problem. I took the math, physics, and chemistry SAT subject tests. How "required" are the three different tests? And how realistic is it to take a fourth test in January for only Princeton?</p>

<p>they would specify if they wanted different subjects.. i have math/chem/bio. if they want to know how you read/write, they have your sats.</p>

<p>I think you're fine with physics and chemistry. This lady came to my school and didn't care when I told her that i took world history and US history. Math Level I and II may be seen a little bit differently since they're so much alike.</p>

5

<p>I think they might look down on a 770 for a first language score? I don't mean to be rude at all, I really don't have a clue. </p>

<p>Anyways, you took the new SAT with writing so I assume you're fine. I'm applying to Princeton and all I have are old SAT scores and three SAT IIs.</p>

<p>There are plenty on people with high 700s on the SATII despite it being their first language. I know of alot of chinese kids in my school with 790s and it really isn't that big of a deal. The curves on language tests are not very much...</p>

<p>I think it's safe to have at least one other SAT II.</p>

<p>I have IIc, Chem, and M bio</p>

8

<p>Yeah, don't they not look at first-language SAT IIs so much?</p>

9

<p>If they didn't want a native language SATII they probably would hae said so. But since they didn't, that is on Pton, so no worries?</p>

10

<p>So three different subjects only means three different tests?</p>

11

<p>Yes, except you can't send both Math 1 and Math 2. (They'll count as 1 test)</p>
