<p>You should take an Sat II that’s not in math</p>

3

<p>I believe you have to take an SATII that’s not math. Most of the schools (I know Cornell does) require two or 3 particular subject tests per major</p>

4

<p>I think you have decent chances but I agree with the others- take another SAT2</p>

5

<p>Most schools require 2 subject tests, just a few schools wants 3. But taking more is fine and usually beneficial. However, taking Math1 and Math2 would be considered as one subject.</p>

6

<p>Yea I’ll be taking another two this coming June, ignoring that area for now, what would my chances look like?</p>

7

<p>You should be a high match to low reach for Cornell. Low reach to reach for most other Ivies. Is that GPA uw? Even that it is slightly below average for ivies.</p>

8

<p>I think with the second SAT subject and good essays you stand a good shot at the lower tier Ivies. Good luck!</p>

<p>Chance me back?

<p>You have a decent chance at Cornell (probably a high match), but idk about the other Ivies. I’d still suggest to applying to a few though.</p>

<p>While your critical reading is a bit low, I’d say the 800 definately makes up for it, but it does make you look a bit lopsided. Your EC’s a perfect.</p>
