<p>I took the sat bio and math IIC today, and I wasn't really prepared for bio but I took it anyways. Big mistake. I didn't realize you couldn't cancel one of the scores without canceling both scores and now I'm scared about bio appearing on my application... I don't think I did horrible, I took AP biology this year but I had a time crunch and didn't prepare for the sat II because I was busy with math IIC. I know SAT bio is pretty competitive and there's practically no curve. I'm quite sure I did really well on math IIC (800) and I got 790 for SAT chemistry last year, but I want to go Carnegie Mellon and I heard that they don't accept score choice? How badly would it impact my application.</p>
<p>Wait, so if you took more than the required number of SAT 2’s at Carnegie Mellon, then you still have to send the remaining scores? By the way, like I said in a previous post, there are still peope who get in Ivies with 600’s. Like Harvard said that all their students had scores between 600 and 800.</p>
<p>well student’s strengths in their application are different… and I’m taking the sciences in college that might focus on neuroscience, I don’t see why you should just brush off the issue.</p>
<p>Schools can’t refuse score choice and they won’t know whether you used it or not.</p>
<p>? I’m quite sure that there are schools that require you to send all your SAT scores.</p>
<p>@Desafinado, that may be true of some schools, but Ivies like UPenn do not accept score choice. Top notch school like the ivies generally do not accept score choice, sad to say.</p>
<p>Princeton and Harvard allow you to send whatever scores you want.</p>
<p>The school does not have the option to refuse score choice. They don’t want you to use score choice, but you can use it and they won’t know.</p>
<p>sigh… isn’t that like dishonesty with the chance you might get caught? that’s not really advice I can seriously consider though hehe…</p>
