2

<p>you should probably take the Math II SAT Subject Test</p>

3

<p>yeah i wish i could have.. i took calculus bc last year so if i went and tried to take it now I know I wouldn't do well on it.. but last year i waited too late to do SAT II tests so i couldnt take math II.. do you think it willl really make a big difference?</p>

4

<p>i think u have a good chance at UVA- but if u scored a 2000+, then you'd be solid! make sure u write good essays b/c that is what REALLY counts</p>

5

<p>thank you! i am hoping to break 2000 w/ the SAT i just took :) .. and I am getting help with editing my essays so hopefulllllly they will be good.
anyone.. how about my chances at an ivy? maybe brown or dartmouth?</p>

6

<p>cornell ed - possible</p>

7

<p>Ivy league chances are probably low. Your chances will improve as your SATs do, so some lower-tiered Ivys are not out of your reach.</p>

8

<p>so which Ivy schools would you consider lower-tiered? someone above said Cornell ..are there any others?</p>

9

<p>I had Cornell in mind. There are some others, depending on who you ask. (Don't want to offend anyone, but maybe Dartmouth as well)</p>

<p>You have better chances at Cornell, though.</p>

10

<p>ok thank you! i will probably apply to Cornell. and what about UVA? are my chances good for there too? i'm also in-state.</p>

11

<p>They should be slightly better/similiar there. This is all assuming improved reading scores, however.</p>

12

<p>in at uva/low chance at any ivy</p>
