Stressed Scottish lad looking for some advice!

<p>Hi everyone!</p>

<p>sure there are numerous posts every day so il make this short and sweet</p>

<p>SATCR:690
Maths-770
Writing- 660 (arrgh annoying as in my last shot i got 700!)</p>

<p>Total- 2120</p>

<p>SAT2 Maths- 700
SAT2 Chemistry- 730
SAT2 Biology- 660 </p>

<p>terrible SAT2s i know but i havnt done Maths in a year and havnt done Chemistry and Biology in 2 and 3 years respectively!</p>

<p>(im taking World history in a weeks time so hopefully il get a 700) any idea what i should do for my one remaining SAT date in january- any thoughts welcome</p>

<p>Scottish Highers </p>

<p>English - A
Maths - A
Chemistry - A
Economics - A
Politics - A</p>

<p>Scottish Advanced Highers (considered equal or more than A levels- oxford/cambridge considers them harder)</p>

<p>Economics- B
Politics - A
Philosophy - A</p>

<p>So thats basically it!- im aiming high- perhaps too high many of you will probably say HYP, most of the IVYs, Stanford, NYU, Berkely...</p>

<p>In terms of Extra currics im pritty good, in 4 sports teams at my final year of school....hopefully sending in a tape of me playing soccer to the relative sports departments- as i hear if they think you are good enough it iwll improve chances- any advice on this will also be appreciated.</p>

<p>Also last point- i hear many unis take A levels instead of SAT2....is it worth my phoning up and seeing it they will think of my Advanced highers in the same way? </p>

<p>Thanks again for all your comments- they will all be carefully considered and appreciated</p>

<p>PS. just to let you know i applied last year with a 1950 SAT and the same SAT2s and only got into NYU, UCLA, and berkely (although i couldnt go due to family reasons)</p>

<p>PPS. haha sorry so much for a small post- but this year im doing a gap year working at PriceWaterhouseCoopers- dont know how famous that is in the US so i dont know whether it will help my app.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>any help at all????</p>

<p>just wanted to add a short note...as i have an oxford interview a couple of days after the SAT date coming up, i was wondering whether people thought i should retake the SAT1 or do the world history as if i retook the SAT1 it would require less revision allowing me to do more work on oxford.</p>

<p>again any thought at all welcome on this and the above situation as i am getting a bit desperate!</p>
