<p>and these SATII's bother me. especially if i'm really considering engineering. retake?</p>

<p>790 math2c, 740 chem</p>

<p>any pointers?</p>

2

<p>Your scores are good, maybe the chem could go up a few points.</p>

3

<p>…people on this site are ridiculous.</p>

4

<p>…i concur!</p>

5

<p>What do you expect us to say? Yeah they should bother you? OF COURSE you CAN retake if you want and it never hurts… but honestly… thinking you need perfect scores is ridiculous. After your scores get to a certain point, admissions officers look at other things. I would focus on your activities, your actual SAT or ACT, getting good letters of recommendation, volunteering, etc. instead of upping math 2 by 10 points or getting your chem up a tad, especially since you aren’t even into your junior year yet.</p>

<p>Congrats on those scores. They are very good.</p>

6

<p>^exactly, well said.</p>

7

<p>retake chem for sure</p>

8

<p>you’re crazy for thinking of retaking them. you fit in perfectly to the CC community</p>

9

<p>they are fine and good scores. but i have to agree with the other people. Your Ecs, volunteer, recommendations, etc really matter as well</p>

10

<p>sure, call me crazy, but i just want to double check that even if i apply to a very selective college (possibly Ivy) for an engineering major, these scores will not make me stand out in a negative way. </p>

<p>and yeah, the EC’s, recommendations, ACT/SATI are definitely of great importance, so the summer is nice to work on those :)</p>
