<p>This is the Cornell board ;). And no, Columbia probably won't be fond of your SAT II scores.</p>

<p>damn kid...get working. And yes above a 600 is good for an SAT II...if you're going to a SUNY school as usually that is like the 50th perecentie for SAT IIs. Above oh 730 ish...is what youre shooting for</p>

<p>EVERYONE gets published in who's who. don't kid yourself.</p>

5

<p>Chill out brah, you're 15. Live it up a little.</p>

<p>yes have fun and listen in class...sounds like you're doing well.</p>

<p>You really can't prepare better for SATs than actually LEARNING in class...as in not letting it go out of your head as soon as you get the A. You'll definitely need to up those SAT IIs (i'd actually say 750+ and 800 on Math IIC) for Columbia, but you've got plenty of time.</p>

7

<p>You have time, yes.</p>

<p>But work on those SAT II scores. Definitely retake them.</p>

8

<p>I think overall you're setting yourself up for a good shot. People here are making a huge deal about those SAT IIs and yes I'd recommend retaking them, but you don't have to have all 750+ to get into Cornell. Don't sweat it--keep doing what you're doing, retake the SAT IIs and relax!</p>
