<p>You need 2 SAT2s as well. Once you send your SAT2 scores, it automatically sends your SAT1 scores as well. Your stats are roughly equivalent to mine when I applied, although I had a higher GPA and I was instate, so it might be a little harder for you. Do well on your SAT2s and we'll see from there.</p>

<p>Yeah the other schools I'm applying to like UMich and UWisc don't require SAT2s, but the one I did take was Bio in 9th grade and I got a 600 :\ ...I got a 5 on the AP Chem so I would probably be capable of nearly an 800 on the Chem SAT2 and I think I could do pretty well on one of the math ones if I take them in October.</p>

<p>bring up you SATs to the 2000s and try to get 800s on you SATs2...hold leadership positions as well..and one of the most important write a really good essay. you should start as soon as possible so you get it corrected. but write a really good one.</p>

5

<p>Remember, it's Math Level 2 only. Don't bother with Level 1. Also, the Chem SAT2 has a funky portion where you have 2 columns, it's really hard to explain. I suggest you get a practice book for that.</p>

<p>Ronald, I don't have time to take the SAT2s AND SATs again...so I'll probably just send the ACTs (hopefully they just convert it to 2050 SAT like I think it converts to) and take Chem and Math SAT2s in October...I heard about the chem thing, my friend took it and told me.</p>

<p>"2050 SAT like I think it converts to"</p>

<p>Is that using this formula?

<p>Calculating the UC Score Total</p>

<p>If you took the ACT plus Writing exam: Convert your highest math, reading, science and combined English/writing score from a single sitting to equivalent UC scores (see the translation table below). Multiply the sum of your converted math, reading and science scores by two-thirds, then add the converted English/writing score. Add this subtotal to your two highest SAT Subject Test scores from two different subject areas, which are also converted to equivalent UC Scores. Example: (math + reading + science) x 0.667 + English/writing + Subject Test 1 + Subject Test 2) = UC Score Total.</p>

<p>well you still have oct, nov and december to take SAT and SATII so I don't see why you say you don't have time to take them</p>

9

<p>I've already taken the SATs twice (got 1830 on the first one). I don't know if taking them a third time is wise.</p>

<p>EDIT: I saw that site earlier. A 30 ACT was 80 points as was an average of 680 on each section of the SAT, which=2040. This gives me a 2010.</p>

<p>I believe they don't average them out until you take SAT the 4th time...</p>
