<p>Hey guys!</p>
<p>So basically Rice said to send in 2 SAT 2's related to your field of interest. I am interested in studying bio; however I did really bad on the SAT 2 bio. I got 800 on Chinese, and 710 in Math 2. Can I just send in Math 2 and Chinese? or should I still send in the bio? Should I send in all 3?</p>
<p>Please help! this is very urgent! thanks</p>
<p>Is Chinese your native language? If so, I have heard that adcoms are not particularly impressed by people who take (and ace) SAT II tests in their native language.</p>
<p>I can’t really write, speak, or read Chinese. Although my parents speak Chinese well, I grew up in more of an English speaking environment. Does that really make any sense?</p>
<p>You should be ok in that case. As long as you haven’t listed Chinese as a language you are fluent in, that should be acceptable.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>It might add a little perspective to look at the mean average for the SAT II’s. The Chinese listening test is high. (Is there a non-listening test, that might have a lower mean score – that you took?)</p>
<p>I was looking for Rice’s average SAT Subject scores, which I remember seeing a while back on the website, but I couldn’t find them. </p>
<p>That said, please don’t forget that these scores are just one slice of the whole picture. Are there other ways you can show your interest in biology – volunteer work, projects, etc.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your help!</p>
<p>I volunteered in an university lab last summer. Does that count?</p>
<p>It sure does! I’d write about the experience – what it meant to you and what you look forward to doing at Rice. Sounds good!</p>
<p>Thank you so much C:</p>
