SAT II's--Urgent advice needed!

<p>Shoot me for my indecision now. >_o</p>

<p>Basic question: Does Yale look at all your SAT II scores or just your best two?</p>

<p>The details (mrr): So far, I have 3 SAT II scores:
800 Math II
720 Chem
740 Spanish</p>

<p>I just took two more: Spanish with listening (which I felt I did really well on, like 750-790) and Physics (which I felt I completely crashed. I didn't prepare well, and also misbubbled at least 4 questions at the end. anywere from 600-730). Should I still send these two scores in, though one of them could be disastrous? </p>

<p>Thanks for taking a look!

<p>they nominally look at 2, but if you are positioning yourself as math/science then a really poor physics score may raise a red flag. If you are positioning yourself as a generalist or humanities, if you can't wait to find out how you did before sending, it's probably safe to send it in. Also, if one of your recs is from a physics teacher, a really low socre would be a problem, and invalidate the rec. So you need to look at the whole picture to decide.</p>

<p>Hmm, I've never thought about it that way before, Ailey! Thanks!</p>

<p>Well, today's the last day I can send scores in and make the EA deadline, so I think I'm just going to do it. <em>crosses fingers</em> My rec is from an chem teacher, and I'm leaning toward an econ major...so I suppose I'm skating on thin ice. But I shall worry no more over it~ </p>

<p>Ironically, I'm now going to go do some Physics homework...xDDD</p>

<p>Is it too late to cancel the scores?</p>

5

<p>Yes. >_< And I liked my Spanish test, so I'd rather not cancel both. </p>

<p>It should work out okay if I retake a second time, and send in a better score later? They might give me the benefit of the doubt and understand that was not my best performance the first time...?</p>

<p>edit: and I'm not sure if my previous 3 scores will suffice...</p>

<p>We happened to be supervised by a guidance counselor when I took the last SAT Subject tests. He told us it's not a good idea to cancel our scores if we take more than one. We should better leave them as they are and if something wrong happened to us during a test, let the colleges knmow that. Maybe you need this advice.</p>
