<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I got 800 Physics, 760 Math L2, and 550 Literature. I don't know what I was thinking that day, but it was definetely not a good day. I've done only my AP Calculus and got a 5 on it.</p>
<p>If I want to submit only two scores, but my SAT II report automatically sends 3, am I completely hopeless?</p>
<p>I'm an international and hold both a Swedish and Canadian citizenship... I have resided in Canada for the last 12 years.</p>
<p>thanks

<p>I don’t think it matters, they probably won’t even consider the lit score. However, nobody knows for sure.</p>
<p>I got 720 Bio, 740 Math, and 620 Lit too, I do not know what is up with that. Did you take it in June?</p>
<p>Nope. Literature is just harder. I was stupid and winged it and I did it last - worst idea. answering 45 questions out of 60 was already pretty baad…</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat, I have 800 Math II, 760 Math I, but only 590 in Bio-M. That Bio questions were crazy, some of them are totally not even in the review book.</p>
<p>Don’t worry. As many have said, Cornell won’t be such cruel to mind a needless test, for most of its colleges just require one to two tests. Unload your qualm and do the preparation for others.</p>
<p>Yeah, I just assumed that the lit SATII would be similar to the AP Lang exam, which I got a 5 on, and I just tried to wing it as well, bad idea.</p>
<p>what school are you applying to? if you were applying to CALS, for instance, they wouldn’t care the least about a literature SAT II.</p>
<p>Like everyone else here, I have odd SAT II scores: 800 Bio-M, 740 US History, and 630 Math II…thank goodness I’m not applying to engineering where that math score would be like death!</p>
<p>I doubt it’ll hurt too much-just look at Cornell’s CR scores-25% of their kids have a 630 or lower; they’re not sticklers for perfect marks.</p>
<p>Thanks so much guys. I’m still not even 100% sure if I want to go to the USA. Does anyone have any good reasons that they can throw up for me? My friend says for business its particualrly important to have a good name behind you (ie UPenn). But for engineering/medical/whatever else, the name behind you isn’t as important, right?</p>
<p>(what does cornell really specialize in anyways, I’m just grabbing for ivy’s hoping for a hit and financial aid)</p>
<p>dreamsolace91// that attitude will most definitely win outcries of many CCers. I suggest you edit your comment before some random angry Cornell lover like [JaySong] tries to snap your head off.</p>
<p>Cornell has 7 undergrad schools in Ithaca, plus two (or is it more?) graduate schools in Ithaca: law and veterinary medicine. In NYC, Cornell shares a teaching hospital with Columbia (Columbia/Cornell Presbyterian, I think.) So Cornell is a great name for medicine and engineering, maybe some other things, but those are the aspects I concentrate on/hear the most about.</p>
<p>I don’t know where you heard that name doesn’t matter in medicine, because it most certainly does, probably even more so than in business. If you come out of a renowned med school like Yale, Harvard, Cornell, other ivies, Emory, Johns Hopkins, etc., you’re a) much more likely to be hired and b) probably have a higher paycheck than someone who comes out of, say, University of Connecticut. It’s not that UConn isn’t a great school, because it is, it’s just that a big-university looks better to a hospital and for a hospital.</p>
<p>And I would suggest editing that comment, dreamsolace; we CCers don’t like to hear that people randomly applied to Cornell without even being 100% that you want to go…people like that simply clog up the admissions process and lower our chances.</p>
<p>Same for me. I got a 800 on Math II, 730 Bio-M, 730 Chem, and 630 in French. It’s a good thing I have 3 other scores. Furthermore, Engineering only wants math and science tests anyway, so French shouldn’t really work against me.</p>
