<p>dude, you've posted a chances thread before....go see a movie or smoke a cigarette...RELAX</p>

4

<p>Nope...I've not posted this before in the Yale forum.</p>

5

<p>your SAT score is a little low</p>

6

<p>yeh i think your SATS are a bit too low</p>

7

<p>If I get 2150+ in Jan, and 750+ in world history, would it measure up?</p>

8

<p>Hmm, you'd definitely have a better shot if your scores went up. Is there any way you can retake Math IIC too? Your Math IC score is likely to be insignificant because you have tried to take the harder math SAT II.</p>

9

<p>You'll do well. It's not all about the scores, it's the essay(s). Good luck.</p>

10

<p>why would my 750 be insignificant? its my only decent score lol.</p>

11

<p>I thought colleges only looked at your score on the higher level math. Sure they see your Math IC score, but they'd be more interested to see your Math IIC score because you've opted to take the harder math SAT II.</p>

<p>scores aren't everything.</p>

<p>judging from how often you seek other people's opinions [strange teenager's opinions], </p>

<p>you are insecure. stop being insecure. if you doubt yourself, no amount of convincing from strangers is going to make you more confident.</p>
