<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>Alright, I took my SAT II Biology today, after reviewing all my answers and making a list along with fellow test takers, it seems I have scored between 680-700, I scored a 710 US History in may. I honestly feel like I can score above 750/760 if I had another shot at the bio, I just wasn't feeling it today. In ocotber I am taking the SAT I Reasoning Test. Now, I am thinking of cancelling this bio test, and retaking it in november along Math IIC and Spanish. This will be a total of 4 SAT II tests. I would like to know whether or not if I give in my november SAT II scores as "Rush Scoring" and make it in time for the early decision application. Second of all, I would like to know how this rush scoring works, I know there is a type of system but if someone can elaborate that would be great. Thanks again.</p>
<p>On the JHU website, one of the FAQ's fro ED applicants is " By what dates must my documents be postmarked?" Part of the answer is "SAT I & SAT II; or ACT: October test date" so their official answer is no. However, since the November test date is on the 5th, and rush score reports are sent within two days of scoring, which is normally in less than 2 weeks, I think if you rushed scores, Hopkins would receive your scores just around the deadline for your paper application (November 15th) and would be able to consider it for ED. Whether they're willing to consider it is another story.. best bet is to email the admissions office and ask directly.</p>
<p>Please also note that SAT IIs are not going to make or break your JHU application, especially in that range. Mine were a 650 (chem) 670 (math IC - eek, that's like 55th percentile) and 800 (writing.) Where else are you thinking of applying? It seems that JHU is your first choice, which is awesome :)</p>
<p>See, I definitely understand that SAT IIs are not the all mighty acceptance factor, but the thing is Biology is my strongest subject, and I honestly felt like I could have owned that test with just a week's worth of studying (I studied for one day). Also, I am planning to do pre-med, and my prospective undergraduate major is definitely biology. So I really want to show Hopkins that I am qualified.</p>
