<p>I'm retaking my SAT I in Nov, and I know my SAT IIs are really low, but I was really sick that day. (Proof: Recently I had to go to the hospital to examine what was wrong, but I won't get into that.) Anyway, do I have any chance at Cornell RD? I know my scores are low, but I want to give it a try.</p>
