<p>MY scores suck?</p>
<p>What are the averages for hypsm /
oh, and wharton!?</p>
<p>SAT Subject Test in Biology with Emphasis on Molecular Biology 700
SAT Subject Test in Math Level 2 750
SAT Subject Test in U.S. History 730</p>
<p>i'm screwed :(</p>
<p>i NEED to get a 800 on the math. i think i will. next time.</p>
<p>As a college guru and someone who also wants to go to an IVY, you are definetly too paranoid!!! My sister was accepted to Upenn and got..</p>
<p>SAT - 1440 (old version 700V/740M)
SAT II MATH 2C - 800
SAT II Writing - 690
SAT II Biology - 650</p>
<p>Your scores of 700, 750, and 730 blow these scores away! You defiently do not have to worry about your SAT II's. Trust me - just write a good essay, show your unique charactersitcs, be yourself in the interview, and you will get it !! Great job on your scores btw...</p>
<p>yeah that's what I been hearing lately...essays and interview...is like the THE ICING on top of the cake...even if the cake as such great flavor (SATs, GPA, etc)..but the icing (decoration) is CRAP aka the essay ... the consumer is not gonna go for the cake in the display because it is superficially unappealing...lol does this make any sense?</p>
<p>if it does...hope it helps =) peace so this summer work on writing the best essay of your whole life and rmbr...pretend like your essay is a product that you are going to display to a wide public source and everybody is a critic...so your essay has to portray you yet at the same time keep the dude who's sitting in his room at 2am with a beer bottle in his hand awake while reading your essay.</p>
<p>We all are waiting for the common app :)</p>
<p>what is wharton? i typed into collegeboard.com's college search and got a community college</p>
<p>The 2006 Common App is already released--colleges that use it have sent out their applications to people.</p>

<p>Oh, and [url="<a href="http://www.wharton.upenn.edu/%22%5DWharton%5B/url">http://www.wharton.upenn.edu/"]Wharton[/url</a>] is UPenn's school of business.</p>
<p>Use Google when CB fails ;)</p>
<p>Wharton is probably the best business school in the United States. It is part of the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). It is pretty tough to get into.... but if my sister got in, I think I can.. Does anyone know if sibling relation helps with college acceptance?</p>
<p>probably... IS* and no vinny380 siblings don't help, my sister's alumnus at penn too</p>
<p>does parent relation help?</p>
<p>if that doesn't help... what would?</p>
<p>sorry for the sarcasm, yes it does</p>
<p>lol i was being sarcastic too</p>
<p>I have about the same scores too.</p>
<p>Math IIC- 760
US Hist- 750
Bio-E- 680 :-(</p>
<p>i was jumping for joy with a 750 for u.s. history. you people are nuts</p>
<p>Yeah, don't be intimidated by the people here at CC. I recently read A is for Admission (great book. read it.), written by an ex Darthmouth admissions person, and I walked away feeling a lot more confident about my realistic chances at an Ivy. According to her, somebody with several 700+ SAT I/II scores and good grades/class rank would be viewed as a very strong applicant (at least at Dartmouth), and would probably be classified as an academic 7/8/9 (out of 9). Obviously the competition at HYP is probably stiffer, but it can't that that much worse. My point: don't despair just because you don't stack up to the psycho-students here with 2350+ and all 800s on their SAT IIs. CC is not a realistic sampling of your Ivy competition.</p>
<p>i don't understand the academic index thing here at cc, if 700+ alone would get you a 7/8/9... i have 800/750/740, but i'm a 6...</p>
<p>it probably has to do with rank, that AI thing penalizes you a lot if your school only gives deciles also</p>
<p>Since I am new to this whole discussion board (I dont know how to start a new thread) I will post my math question here... This question is prob. very easy for many of you, I just hate math! Here it is - oh this is from the student grid in section on the NEW SAT II:</p>
<p>If X varies inversely with Y and directly with Z, and if Y and Z are both 12 when X=3, what is the value of X + Z when X=4 ??</p>
<p>The answer is in the back of the book, however, the explanation is crap - can anyone give me the correct answer with a solid and clear explanation? Is this Agebra II? Trig? Thanks a lot</p>
<p>** STUDENT GRID IN SECTION ON THE NEW SAT I - sorry bout that</p>
<p>Since x varies inversely with y, we know that x=k1/y, where k1 is a constant. Since x varies directly with z, we know that x=k2<em>z, where k2 is a constant. Plug in for x=3, y=12, and z=12 and solve for k2 (k1 doesn't matter for this problem), and you get k2=1/4. Since x=(1/4)</em>z, z=16 when x=4, so x+z=20.</p>
<p>20 is not the answer ......</p>
