<p>Hi!
I'm coming from Europe.
Here are some information about me:
-Age 18
-ex-member of national skiing team
-Mensa member
-Winner of physic awards
-Winner of math awards
-Winner of logic awards
-Winner of programing awards
-Winner of geograpghy national award
-Winner of history national award
-Member of team that won national research project (physic)
-Member of team that won national research project (microbiology)
-Fluent in 5 languages
-I preformed as hoste at my school's initiation of freshmens and a lot of other plays and preformances.
-I also helped at our national institute over summer for cuple of weeks so I have a recomendation letter form a realy respected professor there
-I also spent 7 weeks in greec working over sumer for the past 2 years
-My physics tests avrage is 99,7%(thorught high school)
-But I'm not best I class because I have dyslexia and ADHD and I have some problems with writing at languages.</p>

<p>I have take SATs but a scored realy badly 480 reading 680 math 390 reading because I was realy sick that day. But I scored pretty good on subject tests 770 math 2 and 800 physic. So which unis are in my range?</p>

<p>You should probably retake the SAT or try the ACT.</p>

3

<p>Try the ACT. Also, if you are dyslexic I’m pretty sure that you can take a version of the SAT that’s accommodated for you.</p>

4

<p>I would definitely suggest taking a test that’s more accommodating to you and especially the version for those who are dyslexic as the above poster indicated. With those scores on the SAT it’d be near impossible to get into schools like Penn, Cornell, JHU etc even with the near hook you have and some cool ECs.</p>

5

<p>So therefore I should retake SATs but I’m not form Us and I dont’ have a disability code that is required for special accomdation for the test. I can esely score 770-800 on math section but I’m realy afraid of writing and reading… I belive that on a good day I could score max. 650. Is the score form these subjects realy important if I want to study physics? Do colleges take notice that I’m not form US and I didn’t went to english speeking schools so therefore my writing/reading scores will be bad?</p>

6

<p>They may but you have to realize that schools like Penn, Columbia, Cornell, and Hopkins receive many international applicants with very high sat scores. Aim for at least a 2000. If you can pull of 800 650 650, even better.</p>

7

<p>What about subject test scores? Do they matter?</p>

8

<p>They do but won’t make up for your low sat score.</p>

9

<p>So retaking the SATs is the only option?</p>

10

<p>Absolutely retake the SAT or try the ACT. Also, nobody cares about your paid membership to MENSA. Don’t mention it on your application.</p>

11

<p>Yes but I’m unable to take the SATs until Januray because I’m already a senior. Can this be a problem?</p>

12

<p>Retake the SAT, or schedule the nearest ACT ASAP. Suppose you get a 2100+ (or equivalent), I think you have a fair chance at your list of schools.</p>
