Science vs. Writing SAT II

<p>I have 4 SAT II's and I can't decide which three to put down:</p>

<p>Math IIC, Physics, Chemistry, Writing (800x4)</p>

<p>I probably will use the Additional Info section to put another essay about how I like to have fun (it's not really covered anywhere except the measly 100 word essay), so I can't put the 4th in there. If MIT sees the CollegeBoard Score Report, do they look at everyone on there?</p>

<p>Yes, MIT will see all of them.</p>

<p>ooo that makes me happier, since I know I won't waste the Additional Info section on 1 line of info. But now, which one for the 3rd?</p>

<p>are you really worried you won't get in zogoto? because in the odd event that i got in and you didn't, i'd give you my spot</p>

<p>hypothetically speaking</p>

<p>lol - Cujoe. You must be the most negative applicant in America.</p>

<p>I know the odds are stacked against all of us, but you're just 100% filled with doubt. Lol. Watch - you'll be surprised tomorrow.</p>

<p>Dude, is this really that important? It doesn't matter. Standardized tests REALLY AREN'T THAT IMPORTANT. Especially for you; you went to RSI, and you'll probably get something really cool from Intel STS or something (provided that you applied there). Flip a coin. Roll an icosahedron. Use a Magic 8 Ball. They'll get all of your scores anyway. Or, if you're REALLY adamant about putting all four of them on your part II, write it in the additional info section, before your essay. I had ten AP scores and only twelve spaces, so I put the already-taken ones in the provided blanks and the pending tests in the additional info section.</p>

<p>Can you tell that I'm really stressed out about EA admissions? 24 microcenturies</p>

<p>hmm... whoops i forgot to write in the scores i was taking this year... but i suppose my transcript will fix that</p>

<p>i thought it was just the scores we had, so i only listed 5... but they saw my self reported courseload, and my transcript, so i suppose it's fine either way</p>

<p>yep... 'xpectin the rejection :(</p>

<p>lol RSI != MIT. Usually at least one person gets rejected (domestic). Yeah maybe I'll put it before the essay. SAT II's matter to me, I paid $15 for a book, $17 to take, and probably around 5-10 hours prepping. I am hella gonna write it down.</p>

<p>Yes, but it's not necessary to write it down in the blanks provided. I just wrote the excess scores before the optional essay. AP, AMC, AIME, etc. They're going to see the extra SAT II score on the report that the College Board sends them, so it really isn't necessary to list it.</p>

<p>Let's be conservative and assume that half of the Rickoids (is that what they're called?) decide to apply to MIT, and two of them get rejected. Even this conservative estimate yields >90% acceptance for Rickoids.</p>

<p>If MIT rejects me I'll have nowhere to go to college. I should have EA'ed, but yeah I'm not gonna bet the rest of my life on a <10% chance. I want it to be 0%.</p>

<p>And yeah lol we're Rickoids.</p>

<p>ok, zogoto, you're going to get into MIT if you apply. and please stop acting like you don't know that.. ur starting to come off as annoying</p>

<p>I'm sorry lol but pretending that I will DEFINITELY get into MIT just because of RSI is not only arrogant but stupid.</p>

<p>sorry i was probably wrong to say that. but you are starting to sound like ur just fishing for compliments after a while.</p>

<p>He's right: RSI definitely helps for MIT admissions, but I know a few rejected souls who would testify that it isn't quite the admissions lock that people here seem to imagine.</p>

<p>Moreover, how annoyed would you be if all the RSI kids on the board went around all "I'm going to get into MIT and I'm not worried a bit, didn't apply anywhere else except Caltech and Harvard... it's gonna be hard choosing between one of those three! Nyah nyah."</p>

<p>Hell, I would be annoyed.</p>

<p>Everyone is entitled to their panic on this board. Deep breaths, everyone.</p>

<p>um... spydertennis...</p>
