Hey,
If I have say 4 sat IIS-
latin- 720, math IIc- 800, math Ic- 760, and physics- 780
really, how important will a 5th sat II, biology of a score of 720+ help me for college admissions…?
<p>it'll make you an *********, undoubtably</p>
<p>"SATs are less important than most applicants think, but more important than any Admissions Officer will ever admit."</p>
<p>You have enough SATIIs, and they're killer ones at that. Most places ask for 3, tops, so unless you want to go into a special Bio program and haven't taken the AP test, I wouldn't bother.</p>
<p>are they good for top places like Duke and Penn, or will bio lend another helping hand?</p>
<p>Your scores are just fine. No need to worry about them anymore unless you're bent on improving them. If you can raise them, go for it. But, as they are, they are great.</p>
<p>other thoughts?</p>
<p>Yours are fine!! You should hope they are important.</p>
<p>good, i dont feel like a 5th is necessary,</p>
<p>thanks for the thoughts and saving me hours of preparation. this really helps me put my time into focusing on essays than stupid standardized testing.</p>
<p>for some reason, i typed "auto-admit" and it was blocked, so just to clarify, i wasn't cursing at you</p>
<p>other inputs..</p>
<p>other thoughts?</p>
<p>yes, take IIc, Harvard and Penn aren't going to want to see that Ic stuff. it is sufficient only if you are going into something unrelated to Math, but seriously that was harsh and your scores are much better than most of the applicants.</p>
<p>I took IIC, I got an 800, I was asking about BIO?</p>
<p>O, sorry, I guess that happens to dumb people like me who glance over things rather then actually reading. So a 760 Ic but 800 IIc? That just inspired a new thread! Anyways about the Bio, I don't think it would help you AT ALL. You have already taken 1 too many SAT IIs, personally if you took 5 subjects I would think you were a total prick! But since they are going to want your three best scores in different areas, the Latin, IIc, and Physics works great. They probably will think you one dimensional if your three highest are math and 2 sciences. So anyways you are averaging ~770 with the latin, IIc, physics, so you realy don't need to even be asking this...</p>
<p>good, I am apply DUKE ED. Thanks</p>
<p>Will taking more than the required help at all? And how many spots are there on the application for SAT IIs?</p>
<p>********* is a curse now?
(I said a u t o admit)</p>
<p>there are three, but you can add more for better look</p>
<p>Any more SAT II's and colleges will start questioning how you spend your time :P.</p>
<p>I tried out the a u t o a d m i t thing too. What's with that? Is toad considered a curse now?</p>
<p>You definitely don't need to take the biology. Your scores are awesome.</p>
<p>Rather than open another thread, I'll ask about my SATIIs here. I've only taken one, History, and I got a 720. I plan on also taking Literature. I am applying to a few top LACs. Should I re-study history for the next 2 months and try to take it again, or is it OK (my SATI is 2110 right now and I have a high GPA)?</p>
