<p>Hey I just got my SAT 2 scores today, and I was wondering what scores I should send. My other SAT 2 scores are a 780 for math2 and a 800 for chinese (though i am native speaker). The context of my ush score is that I am currently taking AP USH in my senior year and took the sat 2 test after only one quarter of ap ush. Will colleges take this into consideration when they look at the score?</p>
<p>Some of the schools I am applying to require all score to be sent. But I am wondering if I should send my USH score to those that allow score choice. These include USC, NYU, and Brandeis.</p>
<p>For the colleges that I do send my score to, where (if anywhere) should I 'remind' them of the circumstances behind my USH score?</p>
<p>lol first of all, a 730 is decent, I got a 700 on physics and I’m having an A in AP physics right now so yea… if you try to explain that will make the 730 even more noticeable so I’d say don’t do it</p>
<p>about the score choice thing, I’d say your choice, a 730 is not going to help or break you~
(I’m in the same situation: Chinese 800, Math2 800, physics 700 ==, though I’m retaking it this december I already sent all of them to all of my EA/ED schools)</p>
<p>Forgive me for being blunt, but you don’t seem to be getting what people are telling you: You would look foolish and obsessed if you “explain” a 730. Just submit it.</p>
<p>collegefever, while I cannot address this for all schools, CMU has told me 3 times that when they say they “require all scores” it only applies to SAT I, not SAT IIs, I can’t guarentee if any of the other “all score” schools have that policy too, but this is 100% true for CMU. I would expect this to be true for schools with “required SATs” (say math +chem/physics for engineering schools) you don’t have to submit all your Subject scores, just the required and what you want after that.</p>
<p>And trying to explain a 730… unless you’ve found the cure for cancer, cured aids, and won like 10 different national competitions, there really is no need to explain a 95+ percentile score. Not to mention your 780 and 800 SAT II scores aren’t even in the same subject as your 730, so don’t bother. Stop being obsessive about it. You sound like one of those people who go “so yeah I got a 2400 but only an 11 on the essay… I should retake to have any chance at harvard right?”</p>
<p>thank you everyone for your input! the overwhelming response is that I should send it… which I probably will. BTW i think a 730 is only a 85% percentile score, not 95% but yeah…</p>
<p>anyways… thanks!</p>
<p>anyone with more to say, feel free. i love hearing responses!!</p>
