<p>I am a 16 year old male Junior
I am hopefully applying ED to pen this fall, and I am really scared about one of my satiis that I messed up on. So far I got a 33 on the act 36 science 31 reading 32 math and 33 english and an 11 on the essay (one sitting, however this was my third time, i got 31 two times before composite). And on the APs I took so far: Ap Government 5 AP English Language 5 Ap Physics C 4 (haven't taken calculus before it) and Ap US History 4. I have consistently been in the top 5 % of my class with a very rigorous (if not most difficult) course loads of my class, and am set to take 5 aps my senior year at a well known rigorous private school in Cleveland. Unfortunately, when I took the Sat IIs this June, I got a 730 on US History and a 640 on math II. For some reason beyond my comprehension something went terribly wrong during the math sat ii, and I got a score dramatically under my known ability and potential . Will this score kill my application/ or severely hurt my chances?
(Ps. I plan to take this again in October, and although I am confident I can do a lot better, there is still a thread of doubt in my mind that is really freaking me out.)
Advice?</p>
<p>There isn’t much to say other than retake your SAT subject tests (by the way, you don’t have to submit them if you have an ACT score—not that your SAT II scores are that bad). You should stick with the same subjects you currently have unless you’re good at another subject. Overall, you’re academically qualified for Penn and just about any other school.</p>
<p>just give in your ACTs they are more than good</p>
<p>^ He might want to retake them for schools that require SAT subject tests along with the ACT scores (Harvard, for example).</p>
<p>I agree with the first poster. You need to improve your Math II score. It’s too low. Other than that, you have a decent chance. Your chances would skyrocket if you apply ED.</p>
