<p>I've been wondering the following series of questions for a long time.
First, a brief background so you understand my situation:
This is my situation- I'm a rising senior who, like many of us here, is looking at highly selective universities, such as the Ivies, like Cornell, and Stanford. I have a 4.0, play varsity baseball, do extracirricular activities, etc. Focusing on test scores, here is a quick breakdown:
ACT (taken once) Composite Score = 36
Math = 36
Writing = 35
Science = 36
Reading = 35
Combined Writing/ Essay = 31 (received an 8 on the essay, it sucks, I know...)</p>
<p>SAT (taken once, likely again in the fall) = 2140
Math = 720 (Messed up some easy questions...)
Writing = 760 (Once again, an 8 on the essay, only one missed multiple choice)
Reading = 660 </p>
<p>SAT Subject Tests
Chemistry = 800
Math Lvl. 2 = 800
Spanish = 580 (What was I thinking taking that!?)</p>
<p>As you can see, these are some interestingly skewed test scores, and I don't think I've ever seen someone with as large of an ACT and SAT disparity as mine. My ideal colleges would allow me to submit only the ACT and the Math and Chemistry Subject Tests, because those are all perfect scores. However, I understand some top universities do not allow score choice, but I am confused if that applies to the SAT Subject Tests. If there is no score choice, does that mean that I have to give all SAT Subject Tests and the SAT I (which would clearly look like crap because of the 580 and 2140). </p>
<p>So, what is Cornell's standardized test policy? Which ones should I admit (if I even have the choice?</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your help!!!</p>
