<p>My essays are extremely powerful. </p>

<p>I also intend on retaking the SAT on Saturday. I think my score should be in the 2000+ range. The last time i took the exam I was extremely sick and I managed to do fairly well.</p>

<p>Depending on my scores, I think I might also apply to a few Ivy Leagues because I do feel as if I am good enough.</p>

<p>I have more substantial ECs, but the applications for NYU, UF and Washington do not allow me to fully demonstrate the things I have done. With that said, the Common Application does.</p>

<p>Anyone? Please. :(</p>

<p>Obviously, you have a good chance... Good ec too</p>

4

<p>Thanks I suppose. My SAT scores aren't too low?</p>

5

<p>Why are you taking both the Math I and II SAT IIs?</p>

6

<p>Because I need 3 SAT Subject tests for some schools that I'll be applying to and I think Math is my strongest subject so I decided to take both. </p>

<p>Is this illegal?</p>

7

<p>Anyone else?</p>

8

<p>some schools dont count math 1 for some reason. You have to check if they accept that out. try physics or us his.</p>

9

<p>Really, zoolander? I took Physics as a sophomore online. I don't think I remember much. US History-- heavens no. :(</p>

<p>I will look into it though.</p>

10

<p>Bump. I feel so annoying. :(</p>

11

<p>Your SAT CR and M are horrible, but everything else is phenomenal. It seems like a big incongruence, why are they so low the colleges will ask, but they aren't that low that it will keep you from getting accepted</p>

12

<p>What is your problem schisman? Please don't let me have to tell you what is horrible. </p>

<p>My scores are far from terrible, you ignorant prick.</p>

<p>The 1st time I took the SATs I was simply overwhelmed. The second time I took it, I was sick. I am taking it on Saturday and my scores should be better. But I know my scores aren't horrible. Keep your insults to yourself.</p>

13

<p>And it wasn't too long ago that you had a 590 in every area of the SAT-- now THAT is horrible. Well.. not really, but I think you get the point.</p>

14

<p>Sorry, but schismman needed to be put in his place. Especially since it wasn't so long ago that his SAT score was a 1770/2400. Yes, you might have a higher SAT score than I do, but that does not warrant a prickly disposition.</p>

15

<p>He wasn't trying to offend you, I think. Horrible is the wrong word, those aren't bad, but he's right in saying that they don't fit with the rest of your application. Valedictorian and 8 APs put you near the top, academically, over most applicants. While the SATs aren't bad, they're not on the same level.</p>

<p>I don't think there was any significant cause for retaliation.</p>

<p>But if you were sick and everything, there's room for improvement.</p>

<p>That said, you're in at Washington and Lee and UF. Stern should be fine, too, provided the SAT increases. It isn't everything, but if it's a lot different from what your GPA and courseload indicate, it's a small alarm.</p>

<p>Any chance you'd be recruited for XC or tennis? What times did you get in cross-country?</p>

16

<p>Yes, I agree with np99sky. There was no real need to accost him verbally over a simple incorrectly used adjective. He was merely saying that your application is inconsistent in that your SAT scores are not as academically strong as your placement as valedictorian in a competitive public school. I think all the schools your applying to are well within your reach. You may even consider upenn wharton is business is the major your sure you want to be.</p>

17

<p>i think you have a good chance.
but just don't take math I and II
when schools ask for three subject tests, they are asking you to take three different subject tests. so taking math I and II might not even count.
you should take math, lit, and perhaps something in science or history for sure. </p>

<p>good luck!</p>

18

<p>Chances for UF - especially since you are in state are excellent. Are you applying ED to either NYU or Washington & Lee?</p>

19

<p>Big Dreams, you shouldn't be offended when you yourself post your scores up and ask them to be evaluated. Sure, maybe schism was a bit harsh, on the other hand he was correct.</p>

<p>"10/2007: M: 600; CR: 610; W: 700 "</p>

<p>Keep in mind that if I remember right NYU Stern doesn't look at writing. So that's a 1210/1600... you hardly stand out there. On the other hand your grades and schoolwork are outstanding, so overall as a candidate you are strong. But schism wasn't off the mark when he said your SAT scores are pretty poor.</p>

20

<p>everybody thinks they can beat me in tennis i hope we also get to play this hypothetical match some time</p>

<p>although i get your point about the writing, i don't see where you get off saying that im "pathetic" and "suck" at writing when you go off on that schisman for saying you had less than great sat scores</p>

<p>im probably just coming to the sad realization that i have "minimal" chances at the schools i want to go to, but do you really think that writing is going to be that big of a deal?</p>

<p>good luck im sure you'll do fine</p>
