<p>i was wonderin just important the SAT II's are... because i got:
Math IC: 740
Bio: 670
Chemistry: 670</p>
<p>i am gonna take math IIC and bio again in nov. while applying for vanderbilt early dec. would they reject me due to my sat II's?</p>
<p>No way...I got accepted ED...never took an SAT IIs. I personally don't see the point...</p>
<p>It seems like you were able to score decently in all of the subjects that you tested in. By testing in 3 and not bombing any of them, I think that they will see that you are a pretty well rounded student. However, if you think that you can improve your scores, then why not retest?</p>
<p>Also, to better answer your question as to whether or not those would hold you back, we might need to know a bit more about you. SATs? ACTs? ECs? GPA? These components play a big role in admissions decisions. SAT IIs are only a piece of the puzzle.</p>
<p>You got to take them eventually. Do they still use them for placement purposes at SAOP/Vucept?</p>
<p>They aren't used for placement tests. I'm going to be in engineering, so I took the departmental math placement test at SAOP. They never mentioned SAT IIs...they just said everyone who wanted to take Calculus had to take their math test.</p>
<p>alright, my data dont look all that great...btw tkz you all for ur quick replies...</p>
<p>SAT: M 790 V 660 W 630 (taking this over)
GPA: dont look too good 90.1 (our school dont weigh)
(by the way: does college take apart your avg and put emphasis on some while not others? like do they focus on the art and musics and health?)</p>
<p>i come from the Bronx High School of Science, my teacher said it was known to the colleges to be competitive, but i dont think that boost my stats up any more than it already is. </p>
<p>i do intel and volunteering. last summer, my intel hours comes to about 350. this summer i am doin hospital volunteering along with intel.. the hours should come up to like 800. But i dont think the hours really matter, i have a passion with working along side the nurses at the hospital. i help draw blood sometimes and feed the patients and other little things. i am the BA at the unit i work in. </p>
<p>im in orchestra, but i am gonna get out of it to have ap chemistry, ppl told me thats not the greatest idea, but whats done is done... lol... </p>
<p>(another question: the class that pulled my grade down is simply history. I suck in history, no matter how hard i try. the teacher i had this yr just sucks, the department of hisotyr is trying real hard to fire him cuz he literally does not teach. my college mentor is going to help explain my history score to the colleges. Do you think that the colleges would try to understand my situation? are they gonna take into consideration that my history is the only major thing pullin me down? i am definitely going into med, but having a low history avg is probably getting me out of that "well-rounded" circle.... what do you guys think? what ever you say would be a great help. tkz)</p>
<p>the classes i ma takin next yr... hopefully. ap chem, ap physics, honor eng, ap microeconomics, ap calculus BC, ap psychology(if i decide not to take lunch), and intel. </p>
<p>i guess i might as well ask the overused question "do you think i have a chance at vanderbilt?"</p>
