Terrible SAT II scores...how will they affect me?

Applying to College
1

This question will work in this categorie too. Anyway,okay, here’s the question. I had one school that required SAT II scores out of 7 applying to. None of the others even recommended them, but I took it for this one school. I just got them back, and they were pretty bad…like, unexpectedly bad in the worst way. Although my other schools didn’t want them, they will see them in the report. Will this hurt me? I didn’t really know much about the tests, or what a good score even is, but seeing the percentiles of my scores, my scores certainly aren’t amoung the good scores. They were:
Math IC: 570
Lit: 590
Writing: 590

Eh, I’m so screwed.
Anyway, if it helps, the schools I’m worried about are:
Goucher
Skidmore
Muhlenberg
Dickinson
Franklin and Marshall
Juniata
None of them require or want SAT II’s. I never had a chance at the one that did, Vassar, so now I’m kinda mad I took them in the first place. My parents are the ones pushing me to apply to Vassar, because they liked the campus and all that good stuff. What is a good score, anyway? My SAT I was a 1300, so these numbers seem a tad off. Not happy at all.

By the way, I don’t really have the option to retake, as my first applications are due December 15th.

<p>I apologize for being blunt - but a 1300 is a very low SAT score, if it’s out of 2400. Is it out of 2400 or 1600? If it’s out of 2400, don’t bother applying to Vassar. If it’s out of 1600, though, definitely apply.</p>

<p>Your SAT II scores aren’t atrocious - that being said, they are pretty low. They won’t affect you if the schools don’t want them. In fact, unless the college mandates that you send all scores from all tests ever taken, you don’t even have to send the scores.</p>

<p>In that case, please ignore my post, OP, considering that you’ve already left college. :)</p>
