<p>worth applying? definitely</p>

3

<p>I feel like a broken record, but TAKE SATIIs if you do well in specific subjects, try to play to those strengths. FYI i was only in top 15% of class, but did well on SAT/IIs and had good ec's, so it's DEFINITELY worth a shot, particularly if you're not from IL or the midwest</p>

4

<p>i will take sat iis, im not sure which ones though, maybe math iic? and physics? i dont know i guess we'll have to see</p>

5

<p>ACT is a good score. and your GPA isnt that bad. the aps seem low, but i dont know about your school. your SATII scores will tell you more. if finances allow, apply ED.</p>

6

<p>at my school students arent allowed to take ap classes until their junior year, and i wont have to worry about paying for college but i am applying ed to UVa, how do my chances look in the regular decision pool?</p>

7

<p>take as many sat2s as you can...you choose which scores to send so there's no downside.</p>

8

<p>I don't think you get to pick which SAT II scores you send.</p>

9

<p>unless things have changed you can send whatever score you want</p>

10

<p>i think they are all on the high school transcript anyway</p>

11

<p>colleges get to see ALL SAT 2 and SAT 1 scores that you've taken by the time the CB sends the report. Used to be that one could select, but that feature was removed a couple of years back. So, they'll see all SAT subject tests, but most colleges say they'll pick the highest 2 for their admissions purposes.</p>
