hey there. so I’m planning on applying to yale ea maybe, and I’ve got a bit of a problem- my sat 2 scores are pretty bad. ok, they’re not all bad- i have a 750 us history and 730 bio molec which i’m happy about, but i’ve also got a 660 chem and a (OMG *** BBQ) 610 world history (though I did make a 5 on the ap …). also, I’m pretty sure I got a 5 on the chem ap as well. sooo, my problem is, should I retake world history and chem, OR should I just take math iic (considering the top three sat 2 policy at most colleges) and hope that the adcoms are feeling mighty generous and/or blind when they’re reading my application. thanks for any input
<p>a.) i wouldn't worry about it. AdComs are known to lie, but i'm pretty sure they won't take the other SAT IIs into consideration.</p>
<p>b.) also, i've heard that a 5 on the AP test completely outweighs an avg. SAT II score. The AP test is much more like a real college test. According to my readings, a 650 bio score can basically be erased by a 5 on the AP test (although i'm not positive and i'm now waiting for another poster to jump down my throat any moment.)</p>
