<p>Your scores will kill you unless you bring them up (both SAT I and SAT II scores). Good ECs, good ranking/GPA, but it's difficult to tell you anything more until we see how far your scores can go.</p>

4

<p>your SAT's will hurt you very badly but won't kill you; SATI: a 2030 alone gives you a 6.2% chance .. SAT II 530 on chemistry really bad.. very good gpa and class rank but i'd bet it wouldn't be a great indicator for your academic performance</p>

<p>That is a misuse of statistics. A 2030 SAT gives a 6.2% chance over the whole population of people with 2030 SAT scores. But they don't all also have 530s on the chemistry SAT II, which is what really kills this application.</p>

6

<p>ahhhh you guys have no idea how badly that score haunts me !! :[ if my other two SAT II's are 700 + will that cancel out the 530??</p>

7

<p>you can take the SAT II chem test again, i believe.. if you can, i'd do that and see if you can get 700+ on it.. that'll look better than the 530</p>

8

<p>i think you should try taking the ACT
if you do badly on it you don't have to report that score, since it's not like a rap sheet of all your scores, you only report one
honestly consider taking it</p>
