<p>ok so im considering top tier schools like northwestern and uchicago, along w/ accelerated medical programs..no ivies though. should i retake all these subjects? i feel like crying rite now...</p>
<p>chem= 760 <--i hope i don't have to retake this.
math 2= 690 <-- definitely retaking in octomber
us history = 730 <-- is it necesarry to retake? im not going near history in my future</p>
<p>ok well first of all you didnt bomb them. second of all northwestern and uchicago dont require subject tests. third of all i got a 670 on Bio and a 620 on Literature. I had previously gotten a 710 on literature. you should be feeling better than me :-(</p>
<p>I agree with briguy. You did not bomb them!
All your scores are higher than what I got and I’m applying to top-tier schools too.
I got:
Chem - 650 (studied my ass off w/ Barron’s and a bunch of stuff I didn’t have to know)
Math II - 650
US History - 580 (didn’t study)</p>
<p>are u guys gonna retake em? im not sure wat exactly is “good” for top-tier schools…seems like everyone on CC is 780+…northwestern hpme does require subjects…but i have no chance in that program anyway…haha…applying for the heck of it =P</p>
<p>You didn’t bomb them. Please don’t let this forum get you too down. Many people would kill for those scores (I could never in a million years get a 690 in Math IIC, so I envy you :P).</p>
<p>i do believe i will retake them. but i have kind of told myself i will not get into a top tier college. your scores are excellent! keep working hard!</p>
<p>Ohhh I’m definitely re-taking all of them. lol.
My #1 is NYU Stern which doesn’t require SAT II’s anyway, but I still want to do really good on Math II and send it in.
And Chem, I studied my ass off for. Hopefully if I study all summer I can get a 720+.
US History was no surprise to me. Actually I’m kind of surprise I even got as high as a 580.</p>
<p>I just suck at SAT’s in general. I got an 1840 on the Reasoning Test. I wish there were ACT subject tests. I got a 28 on that.</p>
<p>lol @ ACT subject tests</p>
<p>ex: chemistry
length: 1200 questions
time: 30 minutes</p>
<p>Haha! That is true. But I’d probably still do better than these.</p>
<p>You definitely didn’t bomb them!</p>
<p>u guys are really sweet! it makes me feel better…so i don’t think im gonna retake sat chem…retaking math…history…im not too sure. i want these subject tests to help me somewat in the admissions process even though they arent’ required.</p>
<p>They won’t help you at all at Chicago, even if you get 800s on them all… Chicago won’t look at them. </p>
<p>Those are really good scores, though. I would never in a million years get a 760 on chem! Bleh!</p>
<p>@phanatic…they wont look at them? at all?</p>
<p>NYU stern doesnt require subject tests?</p>
<p>just retake math and you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>@hardworker
NYU in general doesn’t require Subject Test unless you send in the SAT. It’s a new thing starting w/ the HS Class of 2010 applicants.
The give the option of sending in:
the ACT w/ Writing
SAT Reasoning w/ 2 Subject Tests
SAT Reasoning w/ 2 AP’s
3 SAT Subject test
or 3 AP’s</p>
<p>will my 700+ scores <em>help</em> me in the admissions process? that’s wat im most worried about…will it look somewat <em>good</em>…atleast for the colleges that look at em…like for the act 30+ looks nice…i wonder wat it is for subject tests for top tier schools.</p>
<p>30+ on the ACT is good for top tier schools??? wow.</p>
<p>From what I have heard, 750+ is competitive for the subject test.</p>
<p>I took the same tests 
Don’t worry, your scores are NOT horrible; for non-Ivy schools they are within competitive range. My scores are close to yours but slightly higher (Chem 770, Math IIc 730, USHist 770)</p>
<p>30 is not good enough for top tier schools. In fact, 32 is kind of borderline.</p>
