<p>I'm just wondering, how is that in all your AP classes that you received a 95 or better and you couldn't even break a 700 on SAT II's? Do I detect grade inflation? Besides that, I think you definitely need to raise your SAT and SAT II scores.</p>

<p>All the schools you listed are just about slight reaches.</p>

<p>well the AP's are all UNWEIGHTED scores our school doesnt weight... i cant take timed tests im terrrible at them, i dont think a 1 hr SAT test shows a proficiency in a year of work</p>

<p>i seem to be bad at just SAT II's... if i bring up SAT I's will my SAT II's still keep me out of a school?</p>

<p>It's interesting because you said you couldn't take timed tests--aren't Ap's also timed? See, the thing with SAT's is that it allows the Adcom to compare two different kids. Different schools have different ways of grading; while one school may have grade inflation and the other may have grade deflation. Adcom sometimes can only compare the two kids with a STANDARDIZED test. But what do I know, I'm just another high school kid.</p>
