Pls help -- this dumb brick made use of the free score reports for the SAT II she lowkey bombed

Applying to College

As the discussion title says, turns out idiot junior me utilized those four free score reports for the SAT II Bio test she took last year-- and statistically floundered on. (it was a bleak 61th percentile score of 670)

I checked and it seems I’ve sent the scores to: UW-Madison, Columbia (frick), Princeton (frick), and University of Pennsylvania (double frick). Also turns out you can’t rescind already-sent reports.

Does anyone know how these schools will view my meager score? Will it negatively affect my application to a major degree? Not that I can really do anything about it at this point, but I’d like to at least know.

Other factors that might be important to consider:
-My other standardized test scores are pretty decent, not amazing though.
-I did not take any other SAT II tests.
-I don’t plan on going into a biological field, or STEM in general.

Thanks all!

Those are reaches for all students. At this point I wouldn’t worry about it, nor would I necessarily think the subject test did you in. Make sure you have a good safety you would be happy to attend.

In my opinion, SAT subject tests can only help you–not hurt you (for most schools, at least). If you’re not going into a STEM field at all, I would imagine that your schools wouldn’t care too much! Make sure that your other stats and ec’s pertain to your desired field–and you should be good to go :slight_smile:

Then you need to look at pretty decent schools instead of amazing schools.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

And lol yes, Columbia & Princeton & Penn are the only three [super] reach schools I’m applying to (they also happened to be three of four schools to which I sent my mediocre SAT II score). I’ve got some state institutions backed up, so that shouldn’t be a problem.
