Should I cancel my SAT II? I need urgent help.

Applying to College
1

<p>I have a decent GPA, decent EC's and hopefully good essays.</p>

<p>My SAT is CR:740,M:780,WR:670
SAT II's: Chem: 760, Math II: 760</p>

<p>I just took another SAT II today (U.S. history) and I'm confident I got somewhere between a 600 and 670. I'm thinking the score will reflect my weakness in the social studies area (only studied extensively for a week after a 6 month hiatus, overconfidence =/. ) </p>

<p>The dilemma is that I'm applying for very competitive schools (Columbia, cornell, etc), and I'm curious how badly will this score hurt me. Should I cancel asap?</p>

<p>do either of the schools require 3 tests??, cuz your other two are really good</p>

3

<p>I don't think any school blatantly states it wants 3 SAT II's, but three is the recommended number. If any of the schools required three, I guess I would have to keep it.</p>

<p>Personally, I wouldn't cancel it, but it is up to you. I see where you are coming from, but even with the poor ( ;) CC Poor ;) ) US history test, I doubt it would effect your decision much. Good luck.</p>

<p>I love the emphasis on CC Poor because I know it's a perfectly ok score for regular people and I would've been happy with it a while ago. I've made too many posts on here and read too many things that have made me quite obsessive.</p>

<p>Well, if you don't really need it... cancel.</p>

<p>But if you want a 3rd score to embellish them... retake SAT II. And choose a non-science one. Oh, and one that you won't need to study a lot to do well, cause you'll only have at about 1 month for it.</p>

<p>"I've made too many posts on here and read too many things that have made me quite obsessive."</p>

<p>hahahahahahahahaha, me too!!!!!!!! =)</p>

8

<p>Just a quick bump. I'm also applying to Johns Hopkins, UChicago, Upenn, Brown, and some other decent schools.</p>

<p>Any other opinions? What would you do in my position?</p>
