<p>Hey guys</p>

<p>i'm in a dilemma right now, please help me out...</p>

<p>i have 800 on math II, 740 on SAT II CHEM (ahhh!)</p>

<p>and for SAT I , i have 690 V 800 M 680 W (super score)</p>

<p>i'm confident that if i retake SAT I, all 3 sections will be >700</p>

<p>so for december's testing, which one should i retake? SAT I or SAT II?</p>

<p>does Dartmouth take January marks as well?</p>

<p>can some one please tell me how they view low SAT II's? which one is more important for me, for universities in US in general (i'm international so please help me out)</p>

<p>THANKS!</p>

<p>ps I'm taking ACT in DEC, if that helps</p>

<p>If you are going to retake anyting, I would suggest retaking the SAT I and try to atleast break 700 in the verbal/writing.</p>

<p>I agree with Sybbie. A 740 in Chem SAT II is absolutely fine.</p>

<p>That said, my son had the exact same SAT I scores you do -- really, exactly -- and was accepted at Dartmouth.</p>

<p>Remember that the scores only get you in the ballpark of contenders. It's other things that get you accepted.</p>

<p>I think people obsess over the scores because it's something quantitative over which people have some degree of control.</p>

<p>How about 700CR 780M 680W- superscoring from 3 sittings? Should I retake? International needing aid here</p>

<p>Hi Yihan,</p>

<p>If you are a canadian citizen, then Dartmouth will be need blind regarding your admissions.</p>

<p>Keep in mind like VeryHappy stated that scores are only one small part of the equation as Dartmouth will not be at a loss for high scoring students. However they really work hard to craft a cohesive class so who you are outside of the class room will mean just as much as your scores.</p>

<p>I'm a Chinese male from Brunei. And Dart won be need blind towards me..</p>

<p>I'm currently a permanent resident of canada, but i already submitted my citizenship request (and they grant it for everyone who passes the citizenship test,which i will pass for sure after studying for SAT LOL)</p>

<p>so should i apply as a citizen? since i will be entering university as a citizen</p>

<p>thanks sybbie719, my scores and academics are my weaker points, so hopefully numbers aren't all they look at!</p>

<p>the school states:</p>

<p>You must put down whatever your status is on the day that you apply. If you are not a Canadian citizen when you apply ED, you cannot state that you are (that would be intentional misrepresentation and grounds for having your admissions rescinded). </p>

<p>If it is more beneficial for you to apply as a Canadian citizen ( I guess that it would since Dartmouth would be need blind toward you), if you are not a citizen by November 1 and you will have your citizenship in time to apply RD, then I would suggest waiting until you have your citizenship.</p>

<p>Because ymmv, I would suggest calling the admissions office (you do not have to give your name) and ask the question about your status directly to the school.</p>

<p>yep</p>

<p>i will be applying RD</p>
