<p>Ok so somehow (not quite sure how this happened... fml) my subject tests scores are lower than my actual SAT I scores.</p>
<p>SAT I
critical reading: 680
math:650
writing: 680</p>
<p>Subjects Tests
english: 640
math: 600
u.s. history: 520 (i knew i was gonna fail the second i sat down to take this... definately not planning on sending this one in)</p>
<p>how badly do these lower test scores hurt me? and how bad are these compared to most people (not just the ridiculously high achievers on college confidential lol)? cause i feel like usually your subject test scores are supposed to be higher... ugh.</p>
<p>Your SAT scores are very good. Whether they are “good enough” depends on where you are applying to college! Check the schools freshman profile online to see the 25/75% range for incoming freshman.</p>
<p>Your SATII’s are really only relevant for admission @ certain colleges - Ivy’s/Sub-ivy’s - otherwise they usually for placement. Once again, check the schools you are applying to!</p>
<p>To see your SAT “Ranking” - go to the collegeboard.com and sign in. You should be able to see your test results and see your % ranking to all who took the same SAT as you.</p>
<p>Whether to repeat - I’d consider the SAT @ least 2X, SATII’s up to you.</p>
<p>the thing is i AM applying to some selective colleges. my other stats are pretty good i think. 3.97 GPA, top 11% of class, good ECs, great essays, etc… (i have a full list of my stats on my other posts ikf you wanna see them). </p>
<p>schools im applying to:
boston u
northeastern
brown (yes i know VERY VERY VERY long shot but im trying anyway haha)
wesleyan
muhlenberg
carleton
grinnell
u of rochester
macalester college</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about your SAT II scores being lower than your SAT I.</p>
<p>What I would worry about is your overall scores relative to the applicant pools at the more selective colleges you are applying to like Brown, Carleton, Wesleyan, etc.</p>
haha)
