<p>Hey guys, so I have 3 SAT scores I'm considering sending to PU, which I am applying early to: Chem-790, Math 2c-800, and Bio-750 (I dropped the idea of sending my 730 in physics, because it is relatively low)</p>
<p>I really need advice about whether I should send my bio score or not. Will it help/hurt in anyway? Anyone have experience with PU in particular? (I know they generally say above a 750 is good, in which bio falls just on the border line....idk what to do.)</p>
<p>Well I mean do you think it will help me, or take away the “790/800” prestige? Basically I guess it’s a question of if they will view it like: good he has a 790/800 and also a 750 in Bio-he’s good in multiple areas, or: he is a “second tier” student (in the realm of SATs) b/c his scores fall in the 750+ range…you know what I mean? Maybe it’s neither?</p>
<p>A 750 demonstrates that you have a very good knowledge of the subject. If you don’t send it, you could have scored a 400 for all they know. I really don’t think there is any way a 750 will hurt you.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that Math 2 has a generous curve, and Bio does not- your bio score is 90th percentile.</p>
<p>I wish I could help kashmoney, but actually I’ve been agonizing over a similar question. I just took Spanish listening, lit, and bio, don’t know my scores yet and am trying to decide whether to send them to colleges before seeing my scores. I hopefully did ok in lit and spanish (780+) but bio was much harder than I anticipated and didn’t have that many questions on the stuff I’m strong in, so I doubt I got above 750. I’m planning on retaking in December if I get a bad score. Should I send all my scores to colleges now or use Score Choice to make sure I don’t look bad? I saw posted somewhere that LACs like to see all scores. I’m looking at Swarthmore, Middlebury, Oberlin, Wesleyan, etc., and really don’t want to mess up my chances! Will they look at only the highest score in any area? If I submit four or five subject tests (hope to take Math 2 and World hist in Dec) will they only look at my top two or will low scores in some still hurt me? Will anything below 800 Spanish be bad because I’m a native speaker?<br>
Sorry that’s so many questions. Thanks so much!</p>
<p>Do the official score reports include percentiles? My percentiles are as follows: 88, 85, 81 for chm, math, and bio…weird… so bio is not really in the 90th percentile… Do you think I should still give it a go even though the percentile doesn’t seem so great?</p>
