<p>Applying ED I to school of engineering and Im not sure if i should send my math II score. It's a 700 while my molecular bio score was 680. Thanks guys!</p>

<p>Look up your percentile rank for both your SAT and your SATII subject tests. If your subject test ranks are very close or higher, they’re worth submitting.</p>

<p>I’m actually submitting my ACT score. So I compare my SAT 2 scores to vandy’s? sorry if that’d a dumb question! </p>

<p>Use your ACT percentile rank then. I’m talking about your national percentile rank, not your rank within Vandy.</p>

<p>I can tell you right off the bat that a Math II score of 700 is probably not worth submitting, nor is a 680 on molecular bio. Both put you around the 50th percentile of test takers and your ACT is surely a lot better than that. The SAT II is a more selective group of test takers, but you still want to be scoring >75th percentile to submit scores.</p>

<p>I would say no. Vanderbilt specifically says if you submit them they will use them to evaluate your application. As Pancaked mentioned - those scores are relatively low for Vandy. </p>

6

<p>I generally go for full disclosure but for the school of engineering, I agree with Pancaked. </p>

<p>I really want to apply ED I for Vandy, so would I be able to send in my SAT II Math II score if they specifically ask me to? Or do I need to go ahead and retake the test. Which would throw my mental state off completely right now hahaha</p>

8

<p>My ACT composite is a 32. I received a 29 (lower than my other math score, unfortunately), but I’m in the 93rd percentile. </p>

<p>You aren’t required to send your SAT II, so I wouldn’t send it unless it benefits your profile. I do not think a 700 benefits you.</p>

<p>Okay thank you so much!</p>
