<p>Math IIc - 770 (junior year)
U.S. History - 790 (junior year)
Chemistry - 700 (junior year)
Biology-M - 620 (freshman year)</p>
<p>Colleges I'm looking at are: Columbia (ED), UPenn, Berkeley, (then some matches/safties)</p>
<p>I mean, I'm pretty sure these won't soley get me in, but will they keep me out?</p>
<p>up your chemistry score and bio score</p>
<p>They probably won't keep you out.</p>
<p>That said, that isn't the question you should be asking. Instead, I think that it is best to make SAT II scores as high as possible. They are much, much easier to increase than SAT scores (which some people just max out after enough studying). Why not take advantage of this and get high 700s-800?</p>
<p>I am looking at Princeton and here are my SAT II scores:</p>
<p>US History - 700
Biology-M - 680</p>
<p>I'm pretty happy because they won't keep me out and I've clearly got a good understanding of the material.</p>
<p>The sad fact is, this entire year in AP has been "read the book." I got shafted by having the crappy teacher on every subject. It sucks, I know. And I missed a few questions because we didn't go through that material. Oh well.</p>
<p>Well, if it helps, the chemistry SAT II will be (I hope) backed with a 5 on the AP test, which I've heard can offset "low" SAT II scores. My problem with raising my biology score is that the last time I took biology was freshman year (haven't been able to take AP bio due to schedule conflicts) and re-learning biology over the summer will be an issue due to my busy summer.</p>
<p>I think I'm just going to go with these scores and "take my chances."</p>
<p>don't worry about the bio. they'll see when you took it, and they'll primarily see the 3 scores you send in.</p>
<p>i wouldn't be concerned about those scores, but i say if anything work on the chem (as it is 1 of the 3 they consider).</p>
<p>For the c/o 2006, Columbia, Upenn, and the University of California system look at the top 2 scores.</p>
<p>which i am aware of. then i say you have nothing to worry about.</p>
