<p>Bump. Please chance me! I’d appreciate it a lot! :D</p>

3

<p>Why didn’t you take Subject tests along with the APs/math you took? Didn’t you take the AP exams?</p>

4

<p>I still need to take subject tests. I’ve taken a few AP tests.
5 English
5 Physics B
4 Biology
4 World History
3 Chemistry</p>

5

<p>and 4 in Calculus</p>

6

<p>You’d need a SAT >2200, and preferably >2300, but yes your achievements are pretty strong. Best of luck on the SAT retake.</p>

7

<p>Try SAT again, but people get in with your score also.</p>

8

<p>deferred, btw…</p>

9

<p>Did u end up re-taking?^</p>

10

<p>Yeah, I did.</p>

<p>2160 SAT I</p>

<p>750 Bio
770 Math II
790 Physics</p>

11

<p>Damn, those are really good subject test scores…
Do you think it was the SAT that made them defer?
GL with all your applications</p>

12

<p>I think it’s probably the SAT. I also, Yale is never a school to be considered “safe” for, regardless of your credentials, so who knows. Maybe I just wasn’t in the group of applications they had gotten to by the time they reached their quota? With an 8% acceptance rate, it’s pretty much chance. I guess we’ll see what happens when final decisions come out</p>

13

<p>If it will make you feel better, you might be able to retake the SAT I and send in the new scores. Schools like to see followup because it shows interest.</p>

<p>good job boosting up your scores :)</p>
