<p>I didn't even think much about this, because the bio test was my first SAT subject test and i got a 690, mainly because i did not take AP Bio before taking the test and knew about only 80% of the material. </p>
<p>That said, i have 800s on Math Level2, U.S. History, and Chemistry, all of which i took after respective AP/honors classes.</p>
<p>I heard you choose best 2 or 3 Subject Tests depending on the college, so i blew off the Bio.</p>
<p>BUt now that i think about it, would this 690 hurt me, since i'm doing premed and probably majoring in Bio or Biochemistry? and colleges see all of your scores, not just the ones you want them to see?</p>
<p>i will bump until i get some kind of response.</p>
<p>no, you're screwed...just might as well go for a community college. -_- DUDE lol you got 3x 800s I'm pretty sure they won't even look at your 690 and even if they take it in consideration, it won't affect you much</p>
<p>My issue was that i might choose Biology as my major.</p>
<p>Hi blueducky,</p>
<p>I've experienced a similar situation to you in the past. I'm in college now and have (I believe) a more experienced perspective on the situation.</p>
<p>Firstly, to answer your question, colleges in general see all your scores when you submit to them from collegeboard. However, many also have a form where you self-enter your SAT scores (UCs are a good example) and I believe that most of them only look at this form, with the official score report acting only as a check. In conclusion, they might see it but probably won't, and they're unlikely to care even if they do. The correlation between your SAT II score and your intended major shouldn't cause any problems.</p>
<p>This might be unsolicited advice, but don't feel pressured into majoring in biology or biochemistry simply because you want to apply for medical school. Statistical studies have shown that science and non-science majors are accepted into top medical schools at equal rates. Many students at my college (most of whom are very ambitious in their plans for medical school) are social studies premeds, government premeds, classics premeds, math premeds, etc. I know that I applied to every school as a biology major planning to be premed, but now I'm most likely majoring in economics while still being premed and planning to attend medical school after graduation. </p>
<p>Long story short: study what you're interested in, not what people mistakenly believe is "good for medical school." </p>
<p>Hope this helped,

<p>Thanks, it really did help. I had no idea about that majoring in other non-science majors would be fine for medical school until quite recently, sadly after i made this uninformed thread. But yea, thanks for the advice. For a second there, when i was looking at my "Major" blank in my Merit application, i totally started worrying about perhaps having to retake that Bio test, something that would consume an enormous amount of precious time that i could use to write my college essays.</p>
<p>Problem solved. :)</p>
