<p>I just received my scores today for my SAT Subject test in Chemistry, and I bombed it :( I was expecting at least a 730 so I didn't cancel my score right after the test, but it turns out I got a 690. the SAT Subject tests aren't really my strength (I got a 710 on the Spanish, which isn't too hot either)...I have a high GPA, AP test scores, and SAT score (the non-subject one), but the Subject tests are killing me. How bad will the 690 in Chemistry look to the top-tier colleges like Duke, Stanford, Rice, etc.? Will it just kill any chance of admission to those schools?</p>

<p>If you’re desperate to find out, why don’t you contact the colleges? Any information you get hear is opinion rather than useful data. The colleges will be happy to tell you.</p>

<p>Too important if you ask me.</p>

<p>I think you should call the schools. I am not sure if all schools really look closely at these scores. I think the SAT is weighted much more heavily.</p>
