<p>Took the SAT II's..... ohhh boy.</p>
<p>US History-730
World History-750
Literature-550!!!!!!! :O!!!!</p>
<p>Shooting for UVA (with legacy), 2000 total SAT, 3.9 Unweighted GPA... great ECs, above par essays... how much is that score going hurt me? is it worth taking again? thanks... </p>
<p>PS-Does anyone else think that the Lit test was completely F'd up?</p>
<p>well...your other scores are great lol. Plus, I dont even think UVA requires SAT 2 scores so all that will be extra and they'll probably only really look at those two you did well on :)</p>
<p>Well... I got a pretty darn sub-par score on my chemistry SAT II and it didn't hurt me. I had 3 other SAT II scores above 700, though (two below 700--chem and a math 2C that I took in 10th grade and retook for 710), and I think colleges look at your three highest, mostly. </p>
<p>Do you have a third 700+ SAT II score? Because if those three--730, 750, and 550--are the only ones you've got, then I would definitely recommend taking another that you can do well on. Maybe retake Lit, if you feel like you could do well on it. Or just take another that you're well-prepared for. But you definitely don't want that 550 to be among your three highest SAT II scores! </p>
<p>Good luck. :)</p>
<p>Edit: UVA "recommends" SAT II scores. Which pretty much means you'd better submit them. And they should be decent.</p>
<p>What's your SAT Verbal score? If it's pretty high, the adcom might just think your 550 was a testing error and give you the benefit of the doubt. If it's on the low side, the adcom will just think you're more math-inclined. Either way it's not going to be a HUGE problem. If you're still freaked out about it, just retake it in the fall.
I never got the sense that SAT II scores played a huge roll in UVA admissions. I scored 750MathII, 680Lit (after scoring 590), and 610USHis (after scoring 590). I was also a legacy, 2070SAT, 3.8UW GPA, great recs, great essays, great ECs. I got a likely letter followed by an acceptance letter.</p>
<p>nice i'm glad to see a comparable person to myself got in... i got a 650 Critical Reading and 730 Writing with 11 Essay... with IB (AP comparable) English classes throughout HS, so i was just hoping they wouldn't see that and cut me.... thanks though, can u rate my chances? thanks a lot if you could, how much DOES legacy play a part, i'm out of state but heard it makes you considered in-state, true?</p>
<p>Take Math IIC in October. You should be able to score 700+ on it if not higher and colleges typically only look at the top 3 SAT II scores.</p>
<p>do you think my regular SAT scores a good enough? i got a 650 or so on math..... and am in regular math..... i mean i'm not BAD but i'm not GOOD</p>
<p>UVA recommends sat 2's. I dont know if you can only send some of them, but if you could then obviously look into that. I got a 660 on lit that test ****ed me off 2</p>
