<p>I want to apply to Yale, and they need three, and I have 3 good SAT2 scores (800 in 2C, 740 in Bio M & Physics), but I also have a 640 in Spanish. Will the Spanish affect my paper record much? I'm kinda freakin out right now because I didn't expect to get that on the Spanish exam =/.</p>
<p>that's almost exactly like my situation, actually. i want to apply to yale as well (perhaps ED), and i have an 800 for math IIc, 750 bio, 730 chem, but a 660 spanish. fortunately, i don't think it matters too much at all. as was explained to me by a current yale student, the "unofficial" AOs (the first round) will see all the scores; the "official" AOs (who make the final decisions) will only look at the top 3 scores. but who knows what goes on behind closed doors.</p>
<p>AAH! Everyone's applying to Yale EA! Nobody will have a chance!</p>
<p><em>grins evilly</em> I'm graduating 2008. Mwahaha. Not the same year as you guys, who are going to bombard Yale with 1337 applications.</p>
<p>it gets worse in 2008, hah.</p>
<p>why (10 char)?</p>
<p>Trend. Historically speaking, it'll be harder each subsequent year for each school.</p>
