So, I have a pretty good ranking in my school( top 4%) was an officer for NHS and MUN, and did my fair share of volunteer service. On top if that, I have a decent SAT/ACT score(1450/28). I have taken a college course for genetics, done research at saint Petersburg for photonics, and took some leadership/ biotechnology courses at Berkeley and I am currently doing n internship program for school at a clinic and pharmacy where I am creating a research project. My research I feel is my strongest point in my application, but my AP scores are average- mostly 3s and 4s. I also did the math and bio subject tests cold, and got a 630/610- I know, not very great. Should I retake them in December? Will this heavily influence my decision to being admitted if I don’t?
I didn’t even know you could retake AP tests. You do have inconsistencies in your resume. Your SAT score is significantly better than your ACT. I wouldn’t send the ACT score. Your rank is great which indicates a good GPA but your scores on AP are average +. You are right, your ECs are impressive. If you retake the tests in Dec, can you get the results back in time? I think I would spend the time writing great essays and promoting your research background. That is your strength.
Sorry, I meant retaking my SAT subject tests not my AP exams
SAT subject scores are not required for Dean’s Honors, right. Have your current scores been sent to the school? If not and they are not required, I would just ignore them and again concentrate on the essays and promoting your research background. That is what will make you stand out.
