<p>On the June SAT IIs, I got a 760 on Math II and a 750 on Chemistry. From an Ivy League standpoint, would these be considered decent scores, or not so great scores? I don't know that I could actually get into an Ivy League school, but I'm just curious. If they aren't that great, should I retake them?</p>
<p>(If these are good scores even for Ivy League schools, I'm really sorry for asking. It's just that my friends get upset over 780s so...I kind of feel bad now ><)</p>
<p>they’re good enough, don’t waste time retaking</p>
<p>Anything 750+ for Ivy is excellent. Retaking would be pointless. Only retake if it’s less than 750.</p>
<p>love how i’m screwed with my 720 for bio and 730 for math II (i might retake this one…=P)</p>
<p>you people need to stop b****ing about your 700+ scores</p>
<p>I had a 620 in bio, 670 in US History, and 750 Math II and got accepted to numerous Ivy League schools. It’s all about the entire application, not test scores. BTW, I had no hooks.</p>
<p>My daughter’s school discouraged her from applying to ivies with an 800v/660m, and 760’s on three subject tests…plus outstanding extracurriculars–editor of paper, first cellist in orch., professional singing & numerous awards! Fact was, there were others in the class that had better ‘hooks’ (family connections/minority status/or just big donors) & the guidance office did what it could to discourage the others so it would be less complicated for them. We heard this from various people. My advice; don’t let anyone discourage you if you think you have a shot. the High schools (esp. private ones) can act as gatekeepers to a certain extent, but shouldn’t be allowed to. sometimes these colleges surprise you–they can see through to what they need to see through! Good Luck. & the fact is, Ivies are NOT the be all & end all, so even if you don’t get in, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you tried & will likely find a place right for you anyway…</p>
<p>If I don’t mind taking the time to study and retake them, is there really any downside to retaking them? Like would colleges think that I was just wasting my time…? I really think that I could get 800s on both if I really studied, but I’m not sure how worth it that would be.</p>
