How important are SAT IIs?

<p>I took 4 SAT IIs, but one of them is not that high, but my SAT I is 2240. How big of an impact will the low SAT II have on my admission?</p>

<p>It depends a lot on the school. Which are you looking at?</p>

<p>not high meaning like 400 not high...or like a 650 not high?</p>

<p>as long as it wasnt like in the 10th percentile i think ur other good ones will cancel it out</p>

<p>Like a 650 not high. I'm looking at Northwestern, University of Chicago, Pomona College, NYU, and a few other privates.</p>

<p>Most colleges will only look, at the most, at the top 3 SAT II scores. In fact, most colleges are only top 2 SAT II scores. </p>

<p>If you're still worried, what subjects did you take, and what were your grades in your corresponding classes? I think the point of SAT IIs is to "standardize" your courses.</p>

<p>I don't think it will be a problem. That is a decent score, you can always retake it if you have time. For those schools I would say your SAT II doesn't make it or break it.</p>
