I am desperately seeking advice. I took my first and last SAT II tests in December. I scored between 500-600 range in Physics and Math II and 600-700 range for Math I. I already sent all my scores to the colleges last night, but I am afraid I made a mistake in sending my SAT II scores.
My SAT Scores were decent (around high 1900s), GPA is a 4.0, and I have faith in my extracurriculars and personal statement.
I am applying to
Cornell- Requires Two SAT Subject Test
NYU- Requires Three SAT Subject Tests or SAT I
RPI- Recommends SAT Subject Test
Colgate- Does NOT require SAT Subject Tests
Binghamton- Does NOT require SAT Subject Tests
Stony Brook University- Does NOT require SAT Subject Tests
Will the other aspects of my application overweigh my low SAT IIs? Will the schools that do not require SAT IIs put a lot of weight on my low scores?
Yeah, sorry to be blunt, but those are not very good scores, and they will negatively affect your application.
Since you already sent the scores, I would just stop worrying about it. There is nothing you can do about it now.
Just relax and enjoy the rest of your senior year.
I think you should be more concerned about Cornell than the other schools, since the Ivy Leagues are usually more competitive, and your scores are not above the average. However, you should keep in mind that Cornell has a holistic admissions, so don’t fret over a couple of test scores. As for the other schools, I think you have a good chance of acceptance, despite your scores.
