<p>So I will be applying to Cornell ED, and just got my SAT 2 scores. I got: Math 2 -800 and Physics- 710</p>
<p>I will be applying to COE as independent major, with CS being my primary area and math being my secondary area. My math and physics marks in school are excellent, and this year I have started a physics help club. I self-studied the grade 12 physics curriculum(im Canadian) in the summer and throughout the school year. I am happy with my results considering that I managed to score somewhat well, though I haven't completed my physics course yet. I got a 33 ACT with a perfect score in science and a 35 in math. Is the 710 bad?</p>
<p>Those are great scores! Especially on the Math II. After doing a lot of research on this subject myself, what I do know is that anything over 750 is a good score when applying to Ivies. I think your 710 is great though - especially knowing that you were self-taught. Definitely include that information somewhere in your application - maybe in the “Additional Information” section on the common app? Or maybe your counselor can mention it in her letter? Good luck!</p>
<p>Math II is very good. I would suggest retaking for a 750+ on the Physics SAT II if you had time.
The Math will be a positive, the Physics will be a small negative. Carnegie Mellon shouldn’t count too much against you for the Physics assuming you have relatively competitive stats for other areas.</p>
