<p>I scored a 670 on both the math and chemistry SAT subject tests. I am applying to University of Michigan, University of Chicago, Drexel, and University of Maryland early action. Is it worth sending those scores since they are not required, or is it to my benefit to send them in anyways even though they are not that great? Thanks</p>
<p>Are they higher than your regular SAT or ACT scores? If so, why not send them in? What could it hurt?</p>
<p>I have only taken the regular SAT once, and i got 1830, but i did not study. 1280 out of 1600 though. I studied for the October one and I feel I did a lot better.</p>
<p>Sometimes there is a benefit to sending in the additional scores, even when not requested. </p>
<p>You might be able to waive out of Math placement test or classes based on those scores (check the policies at those schools).</p>
<p>A 670 on Math and Chem aren’t bad scores - in CC land, we are programmed to think that only a 800 is wonderful. You aren’t applying to HYPS! What is the score range at the schools you are applying to for the ACT or the SAT? If those scores are higher, it might give you an advantage in admissions. Especially Early Action admission. </p>
<p>Depending upon the school, those scores might significantly improve your chances of admission, particularly if you are aiming for a competitive major or program.</p>
<p>They are currently higher than my normal SAT scores, but i am sure that is going to change with the incoming results from the October test</p>
<p>Will you know what the scores will be for the OCT test by the time you apply EA?</p>
<p>sadly i will not, but i am almost positive math will be at least 700, and it will most likely be higher, critical reading probably went slightly up, and my will vastly increase cause i was studying a lot for that</p>
<p>Are you worried about the cost of sending extra scores? I mean, you will be sending scores to all of those schools anyway. SAT will send the whole batch of SAT’s and SAT II’s unless you request score choice, to all the schools you opt to send scores to. Which means these schools will get all your scores, if you send them score reports in November.</p>
<p>The only thing i am owrried about is how low they are. I thought they were not bad at first, but when i looked it was somewhere along the lines of 55th percentile. I did not know if those scores would hurt me or not at Chicago and Michigan</p>
<p>They do have high test scores at those campuses, true. I am assuming these are two of your reach schools? Remember, too that this is the midrange of scores for admissions. There will be students with higher stats as well as lower stats who get admitted. </p>
<p>Did you take the ACT, as well? </p>
<p>I would try for anything that would tip you over into admissions accept instead of admissions deny. Especially if you don’t know those other SAT scores yet.</p>
<p>I did not take the ACT, but I think i am going to try it out and see how i do. Michigan is more of a target for me, but its business school is a reach. Chicago is a reach.</p>
<p>Are you taking the ACT next week? </p>
<p>I wish you the best. Keep us posted with your results after you finish your tests and good luck with your applications!</p>
<p>im not signed up for it, but i might show up and see if there is a testing seat avaliable</p>
<p>Michigan doesn’t look at SAT II’s. (Source-- I emailed them)</p>
