So, no chance now with these SAT IIs?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<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>

<p>Your Math 2 should be fine..Just retake Math 1 and chemistry.</p>

3

<p>But I'm a senior and I missed the deadline to retake...should I standby? 10 days won't be enough time to prep and I'm doing something really important on the 1st...AGHHHH</p>

4

<p>Lol yes it is...10 days should suffice. I studied for my Math II 1 day before the test and got a 650.</p>

<p>And yes, do standby</p>

5

<p>Retake by all means</p>

6

<p>^ You are going to kill me then if I tell you my scores heh</p>

7

<p>Definitely retake. Your 4.0 will seem much less impressive given your SAT scores, as they may indicate a low level of rigour with your curriculum.</p>

8

<p>Haha ajayc, I've seen enough amazing scores on here.</p>

9

<p>i have a 670 literature and 660 maths 2 c</p>

<p>i can't regive either :(</p>

10

<p>680 math II and will retake but feel so bad that this will affect ED at Cornell since applying for engineering. any thoughts?</p>

11

<p>Hey, I got a 640 Math II, don't feel bad. Let's retake and get that 750+ score - 10 days is enough if we cram >D</p>

12

<p>i am applying for economics major- will that be affected by my maths scores?</p>

13

<p>To a certain degree, but I think that they would care more about your grades in a math class such as Calculus or AP Calculus.</p>

14

<p>i wouldn't worry so much unless there really is some huge flaw in your application</p>

<p>a guy last year from my school got into wharton with a 3.8, 2130 SAT, 620 Math1, 590 Math2, and 640 Literature scores. his extracurriculars weren't even that impressive either.</p>

15

<p>Iam thinking of retaking math level 2 this Jan coz iam taking World this Dec. </p>

<p>iam but really depressed coz if iam taking IT again, i have to get a good grade. Imean, well, for my Math 2(710) , iwas expecting sumthing above 750 coz i never thought i could do it this bad. </p>

<p>Its depressing. I mean, i did study for it and stuff. I got 800 on the official practice tests and stuffs. NOw, i dont have anything else to review. Its depressing to death. </p>

<p>I never thought i could be so stupid. By the way. i didnt tell my mom nor my sis. I told them i got 750. hahaha,</p>
