<p>Ugh, I just got my SAT subject tests scores:</p>
<p>Chemistry 620
Mathematics Level 1 650
Mathematics Level 2 680 (Scoring higher on 2?!?!?...The reason I took level 1 as well was b/c I thought colleges like MIT/Olin (which have a choice of which level) would look at my HIGHER math 1 score! :( )</p>
<p>So even with my 33 ACT/4.0 (which means nothing now), and w/ doing nothing "amazing" do I have no shot at MIT, Hahhhhvahhhd (applying b/c of fin aid probably), CMU, Olin, UCs (Berk, LA).</p>
<p>This sucks so much...I think I'm feeling the effects for the first time (in the admissions process) of going to a crappy school. NO ONE (one other person this year) takes subject tests and the curriculum certainly didn't prepare me for them. Man, this sucks.</p>
<p>Also, question: Do schools that "recommend" subject tests actually require them for admission (or penalize for not having them). Obviously, I'm not sending these scores...</p>
