<p>you need to take other sat subject tests. your math Ic is useless.</p>

3

<p>i took bio but didnt do very well on it (590)...would an satII like history or spanish be beneficial</p>

4

<p>OK can we just discuss how much the science act friggin SUX!!! I got a 35 on reading and then got a bad 20 something on science on that test and it lowered my cumulative and I HATE it! AHHHH</p>

5

<p>Cornell will see all your SATs, including the bio one.</p>

6

<p>haha, I completely agree. Did you take the June ACT? When I took the April ACT this year, I scored a 36 on the science section (I don't know how... it was a miracle). When I took the ACT again in June, my science dropped to a 28 (I know... an 8 point drop is pretty bad). Although my scores went up in every other section, my composite only went up 1 point.</p>

7

<p>lol I don't remember months...I just remember science SUCKED on my last 2 exams. The first one was...alright.</p>

8

<p>good shot if you improve SATs by 100 points and bolster EC's somehow in a unique way. there's no harm in applying. applying to arts/sciences or hotel is the easiest route to cornell.</p>

9

<p>Yes apply to Hotel because it's "easy" and see what happens. Unless that is what he wants to do and he has the background for it that is a bad thing to do.</p>

10

<p>Uhm, and arts and sciences has one of the lowest acceptance rates...so I'm not sure how credible that advice is.</p>

<p><<applying to="" arts="" sciences="" or="" hotel="" is="" the="" easiest="" route="" cornell.="">></applying></p>

<p>On the contrary, these are two of the most difficult colleges to get admitted, and they are so dissimilar.</p>

12

<p>Yeah, you have a shot. I don't get why people keep telling everyone their SATs "have to" be a certain (usually high) number; the college guides I read when I was a senior put down "middle 50%" SAT ranges and they almost always dipped under 700. What's the harm in applying, anyway?</p>

13

<p>O well of course he should apply if he wants to go...I don't think anyone told him not to</p>

<p>"OK can we just discuss how much the science act friggin SUX!!! I got a 35 on reading and then got a bad 20 something on science on that test and it lowered my cumulative and I HATE it! AHHHH"</p>

<p>Science rules, perfect score and only thing that kept my composite respecatable.</p>
