aww, man, I thought my SAT II scores were "good"

Applying to College
1

<p>I was so ecstatic when I saw that I got a 700 in USH and a 680 in Lit, but checking the percentiles, while I'm still happy, it's not as "elite" as I thought. Are colleges still impressed when scores are toward the 700 range?</p>

<p>they're not terrible............</p>

<p>I have similar scores (670-bio m, 690-world and 720-chem, taking more this year) than you! but yeah, they're pretty good. You have to realize: very, very few people take SAT II's compared to SATs-so it's already pre-selected (my school, for example, only tells honors/AP kids about SAT II's, so it's only about the top 10% taking it) good students...plus, people can retake like CRAZY and also only take their best two subjects. anything below 400-terrible, below 500-bad, below 600-average, ehhhh, above 650 is fine, above 700 good, above 750 great,</p>

<p>it really depends on where you are applying to.....the more elite colleges will have higher expectations in terms of SAT results.</p>
