<p>Okay so I have absolutely no idea how this could happen, but I took 2 SAT IIs in December (Math 1, Lit) and my scores are absolutely horrendous. </p>
<p>Math 1 (retake): 630
Lit: 610</p>
<p>I had wanted to improve my Math score so I could send it with USH instead of 2 histories, but my score dropped 60 points. I took Lit because I thought it would be easy since English is my strongest subject, but apparently not.. </p>
<p>A lot of my schools are REALLY selective, so these scores are especially embarrassing. I know there's score choice, but some schools, like Cornell, don't accept it. Will this decrease my chances at those schools? My SAT I was okay, a 2250 (740CR 710M 800W), but how much will these new ones hurt me? </p>
<p>Here are some other stats for context:
SATIIs (before these): USH 760 World 720 Math1 690
AP: World Hist - 5, Psych - 5, US History - 5, Eng Lit - 4
Pending/Current (all Aps): Calc, Spanish, Environmental Science, American Gov, English
GPA: 4.19 W 3.97 UW
Rank: Top 2% 14/600</p>
<p>ECs: average/low-ish :/
many school awards
and a couple of national awards (for academics, like being recognized for the National Achievement Scholarship-PSAT).
I'm in a few of the National Honor Socities,
Model UN, school newspaper, volunteered with health department and coordinated outreach and stuff, etc.
I'm the president of one club </p>
<p>Essays: Probably good, I write well
Recs: 1 average, 1 outstanding
"Hooks": URM (African-American), 1st Generation to go to college, Female? :P</p>
<p>These are schools I'm looking at:
U of Chicago
Cornell
Dartmouth
Amherst
Wesleyan
Oberlin
Bryn Mawr
William and Mary
Virginia Tech
Drexel
Hofstra</p>
<p>All but Cornell (and maybe Tech?) use score choice, but Cornell was one of my top choices :(</p>
<p>Thanks in advance guys, and don't forget to leave a link if you want me to chance you :)</p>
