<p>srry viggy, i cant post my school here. </p>
<p>last time i posted my school name, the moderator deleted my post, so…i think its a confidentiality violation…</p>
<p>all i can tell u is that it was ranked #1 in mccleans magazine a while ago…</p>
<p>Sorry to sidetrack a little; I know you guys can give me reliable advice.
I am in grade 11 now and took ‘last November’ sat physics(780), math ii(800), and Korean(800). Since I am a determined future physicist, I hated my physics score and retook it in ‘January’ but had not studied-what a shame!!- and got the same 780… </p>
<p>I read on cc that all the sat ii scores are sent to univs and had better not take it multiple times. My problem is that I want to get 800 so so badly on physics. If it were some other subject I would be happy with 780, but, for physics, it is hard to bear. Should I or not? Taking it three times is lethal?</p>
<p>Don’t do it. It’s more than enough and it makes you look like you have OCD if you keep retrying it. (It’d be even worse if you get 780 a 3rd time).</p>
<p>i wouldn’t take it again. i know it sucks that you got 780 again, but especially for the subject tests, even more than once isn’t too great, but 3 times is bad, at least i heard that on CC.</p>
<p>also, guys are subject tests easy to get 780/800 in? wanna know if it takes a lot of work to get those scores, cause i gotta prep for ACT later on.</p>
<p>Math II is the easiest to get 800 (well if you’re done adv funcs)</p>
<p>^i havent done advanced functions…and would’ve only done like 1 month of it before the SAT subject test…what do you think? hard to get 800…with self prep?</p>
<p>Don’t really know…I had already finished both gr 12 adv funcs and gr 12 calc when I took Math II so it was pretty much a breeze for me. </p>
<p>But it shouldn’t be hard if you’re decent at maths.</p>

<p>Have you considered applying to ISSYP at the Perimeter Institute? If you love physics that might interest you.</p>
<p>Posting for my son:</p>
<p>ON</p>
<p>Applied to HYPM and Cornell</p>
<p>Waiting on HYP and Cornell
Rejected MIT
Accepted Nanotechnology Engineering at UW</p>
<p>My son is good at everything but loves nothing.
I wish he were as interested and ambitious as the students posting here!</p>
<p>^hey, could you let me know how the decision with Cornell goes? seems like not many canadians on this forum apply there. i am very interested in cornell, so it would be cool to know how a fellow Ontario student fares inn admissions.</p>
<p>@reno: Thank you so much for ISSYP info. I had no idea such a program existed! It sure looks good except that the application is closed this year. I called and bugged the lady there but got ‘no’…Well, next year, for sure. Thanks again.</p>
<p>i’ve applied to cornell.
if i get in, it’ll be tough to decide between cornell, columbia or penn…</p>
<p>Prjiki: </p>
<p>You are welcome! I’m very sorry you missed the deadline. I heard that the ISSYP students will get a chance to meet Stephen Hawking when he visits in the summer.</p>
<p>yahhhh! berkeley!!</p>
<p>columbia, ucla, berkeley, more to come…</p>
<p>Congrats! I would suggest Columbia out of those.</p>
<p>yeah, especially since they have financial aid haha</p>
