SAT 2 Scores at Columbia

<p>Is there any released information on the average SAT 2 for students accepted to Columbia? If not, I would be very grateful if any accepted students could post their scores :)</p>

<p>Math II - 800
Latin - 800
Biology M - 790
French - 780
Math I - 770</p>

<p>^ Those clearly aren’t anywhere close to the averages.</p>

<p>If I had to guess…
750 - 800 33 percent
700 - 740 25 percent
650 - 690 20 percent
600 - 640 15 percent
550 - 590 5 percent
< 550 2 percent</p>

<p>I doubt that many had scores in the low 600’s.</p>

<p>Math II: 800
U.S. History: 800
World History: 790
Literature: 750
Chemistry: 730</p>

<p>kwu, those were my scores. I guess my SATs made up for my lackluster ECs. But I don’t think 7% of those accepted had scores of under 600.</p>

<p>Math II: 800
Physics: 800
Chemistry: 800
Chinese w/listening: 800
French w/o listening: 740</p>

<p>How about we stop guessing and just provide a link stating these scores; thats if anyone can find it.</p>

<p>The posted scores sure are intimidating, but I appreciate the responses. Is it common to submit 5 subjects tests at all (let alone 5 subject tests that are between 780-800)?</p>

<p>No, it’s uncommon.</p>

<p>One is only required to submit two Subject Tests.</p>

<p>true. the only ones that posted are ones that wanted to show off :stuck_out_tongue: sorry.</p>

<p>I would still recommend 3 though. just because other schools might need 3.</p>

<p>I will have 3, but I doubt they will all be 800’s like some of the amazing applicants above :)</p>

<p>lol, those people who took so many just wasted their time</p>

<p>I’m extremely weak in the are of math, so I was wondering wold it be fine to submit only humanities courses like Literature and US History? Should I try to do a science course in place of one or the other?</p>

<p>ThePerson1, I don’t think it is a waste of time to learn more than what is sometimes required. Plus, for my first 3 subject tests, I hardly studies, so I don’t see how it’s a waste of my time.</p>

<p>Charlie don’t you worry, not everyone accepted at Columbia has perfect SAT II scores.
I had to take 5 subject tests; these were the scores:
Literature-590
US History-490, yeah I know… but I’m dominican so I guess they took that in account
Math I and Math II- 620 and 600 respectively
Spanish-790</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I didn’t want to do a lot of preparation, so I wrote Subject Tests in Literature, World History, and French, and things worked out fine for me. </p>

<p>And to those worried about scores, the standardized tests aren’t very important in the admissions process, relatively speaking.</p>

<p>So If I only have a 630 in Lit and a 750 in USH I should be fine? Or Should I retake Lit again before ED?</p>

<p>^take lit again, that score isn’t high</p>

<p>Math II 800, Chem 740, Physics 780</p>
