<p>i am good at math, im just really freakin careless [im taking Calculus II on a near-by college] will it hurt my chances?</p>

<p>although SAT2s are not requiered...if they are bad...they hurt you.
i suck at math and i don't take calculus 2 but still got at least 720 on math 1 c... although did horribly on sat1. you have a good chance by the way</p>
