<p>I think you have a very good chance.
The only thing that would get in the way are those SAT scores, but you did improve a lot in the October testing!
Besides that, everything looks wonderful!</p>

<p>It's OK to take Math I and Math II as your subject tests? O.o</p>

5

<p>I e-mailed Princeton about the 3 SATII. They said they would still evaluate my SATII, but only they would not be able to see the versatality. I asked my history teacher to write the Teacher Evaluation. Hopefully, this can give them some information they want. What do you think?</p>
