<p>so i'm applying for stanford online..
and i've taken three SAT II's
us history - 790
math IIC - 750
chemistry - 660</p>
<p>the chemistry's kind of an eye sore. should i leave that out when i submit my application? does it even matter, because i will be sending my official score report after i take the SAT reasoning test again in october, and chances are they'll see it. so how should i go about that?</p>
<p>and another thing... I took the ACT in april... i got a composite score of 30 (34 in math, 31 in writing, 30 in reading, and 25 in science), and i did fill that portion out in my application. i picked stanford as a school to send my ACT scores, and i suppose they got them. but does it matter? if they got my scores, do you think they even opened up a file for me, or did they probably just throw them away? ... and if they did throw it away (if you know that for sure), then should i submit my ACT scores? i suppose a 30 is okay, but a 30 isn't super strong for a stanford candidate, and the science score is a reason for concern, because i probably will be going into an engineering field</p>
<p>Stanford probably kept those scores you sent. I wouldn't worry about it, but I wouldn't bother sending them again. And yes, when you send the SAT scores, they will get all of them, so they will see the science score. (so you might as well list it on the application) I don't know if it will matter. My son, who was admitted and graduated this year, got SAT II's of math 790, physics 700, writing 650, and Japanese 620. (I think his writing score must have been forgiven since he got 760 on the Verbal part of the SAT.) He was also planning to major in engineering at the time, although that changed. My waitlisted son (applied this past year) had a 570 on physics, and his other SAT II's were in the 600's. (I was a bit surprised he even made waitlist, but he did have excellent grades, great recs, and loads of great EC's.)</p>
<p>Stanford looks at the overall student. I don't think one slightly low test score will make a lot of difference. It is the whole presentation that is important.</p>
<p>i just want your perspective: you said you think that stanford looks at the whole person...do you have a sense of whether the new dean will change things? be more attentive to the bar code then the contents?</p>
