<p>After finding out how Holy Cross doesn't require any standardized tests, I am ecstatic, especially the fact that it doesn't put me at a disadvantage. </p>
<p>My SAT scores are as follows:
SAT Reasoning Test
1250/1920</p>
<p>SAT IIs:
Chemistry: 720
US History: 750
Math Level 1: 700
Math Level 2: 580, 620, 670</p>
<p>ACT: 30</p>
<p>I took the SAT once without preparation to see if it's the test for me. Apparently, by my scores, it is not, therefore I opted for the ACT, which is a decent score. However, I'm really persistent on showing Holy Cross my SAT II scores. But I would have to send the SAT scores all at once, meaning they see my crappy reasoning test. So then I would have to submit my decent ACT score.</p>
<p>All in all, would this hurt me? I feel these standardized tests do not put me in a good light, because my school load and corresponding grades are much more impressive, considering how I always took honors and AP courses, giving me a 96.5 weighted GPA and a 94.2 GPA unweighted.</p>
<p>On a side note, should I give only 1 great teacher recommendation, or add another one? One social studies teacher I've known for 4 years and had in freshman year and now for AP Euro, wrote me a phenomenal letter. I feel it is sufficient. However, I also have another teacher in mind that I had for 2 years in a row for Honors Chemistry and then for AP Chemistry in my sophomore and junior year. Although I wasn't the best student in the class, I actively participated, went to extra helps all the time, the teacher loves me, and he pushed me to my limits.</p>
<p>Here's the thing, I can't send individual SAT scores. It's the whole thing, with the good and bad.</p>
<p>I'm worried about showing them things like my bad Math II scores that have improved over time. But, I thought that the colleges will disregard the lower scores of my Math Level 2, because I have improved it over time.</p>
