<p>I did very very poorly on a subject test. I was applying ED to Tufts last minute and I just took a test without any preparation. I did horribly (5% percentile) and I'm planning to retake the subject test this January and another one just in case for other colleges. Did I ruin my chances to get into college? I did so good with academics and extra curricular activities and SATS just ruined me. I never knew about taking ACTs until last minute either so I never took them. Should I email the colleges and tell them I'm retaking them (most of the deadlines are before the scores will be sent back). =[ please give me advice......</p>
