<p>I just got my scores back today and got:</p>
<p>Bio E: 650
US: 650
Math I: 630</p>
<p>I know my scores aren't the best... especially my math (rather disappointed as the practice test I took the night before was a 740 for Math I :/) but I was wondering if I should send all three or just my Biology and US?</p>
<p>I'm applying to CAS hoping to major in biology.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I wouldn’t send any of them personally. During the admissions chat, Dean Merav said
650+ is usually helpful and anything lower just hurts. UVA dosen’t require SAT II’s so unless you believe your scores would help you, I wouldn’t send them.</p>
<p>“Dean Merav said 650+ is usually helpful”: This means if you received a 650 or higher on your SAT subject tests. Seeing as you got a 650 on BIO and US you can send them in.</p>
<p>I disagree with UVAorBust. U-Va doesn’t require SAT IIs but it says it ‘strongly recommends’ them. I wouldn’t recommend not doing something that the admissions office strongly recommends.</p>
<p>Send the biology and US history scores, and send the math score if it’s higher than the math score on the SAT I. You’ll be just fine.</p>
<p>Novaparent - sending SAT II’s can only help your application, if you don’t have them it is fine. I’ll try to see what I can find on Dean J’s blog. Ahh, here we are:</p>

<p>However, Dean J also says on her blog:</p>

<p>I’m getting mixed feelings about these SAT IIs. It seems as if you have to have AMAZING other aspects on your application to get away with having no SAT II’s.</p>
<p>If they are on different dates, send the US and Bio; if they are on the same date, send them in:).</p>
<p>Send them. They look for positives, not negatives. They strongly recommend it. Why wouldn’t you send all three?</p>
<p>Do you really think an admissions officer will say “Oh look 2 650’s that’s good!. Oh, wow. a 630… That’s pretty bad.” Its 20 points away, seriously, just send them in.</p>
<p>Send your scores. There is no cut off. I am not looking for a 650.</p>
<p>Agree with Dean J, but just to be clear: the only reason I suggested not sending the math if you did well on the SAT I is because U-Va says they want two SAT IIs. Why not just send the best two since you have the option?</p>
<p>Ok in that case, I guess I’m sending my 630 Lit and 610 math II. Seems like these scores make me look like garbage though… W/E.</p>
<p>I got in with a 560 lit and 800 math ii. A bad score won’t be the death of you, as Dean J said, they’re looking for reasons to accept you, not deny you.</p>
