<p>hey guys, im applying upenn ed, and i just had a few questions</p>

<p>alright.. so i have a pretty decent sat1 score, around 2200ish
ive taken one sat2 for math2, and i have a 790 on that</p>

<p>now the problem im facing is that i dont know if i should take my november sat2 in physics or not
im covering the material on my own, so im obviously not 100% with it</p>

<p>the only thing thats causing me to think twice before taking it is the fact that if i dont do well, and i happen to not get into penn, then my regular decision schools will have a low score to look at</p>

<p>on the other hand, i could submit my act, along with my sat1 and sat2 in math2 to complete the testing requirements
now the only thing about that is that my act score is fairly low (29)
and then i could prepare more for the test and take it later if i have to</p>

<p>if i submit the act and my sat1 and sat2 (without taking physics), which scores will upenn look at more closely?</p>

<p>which would you recommend me to do? submit my low act, or take the physics subject test and rush my scores for that?</p>

<p>you better to have at least two SAT II scores. Some colleges require 3. You already have Math2. You can take any other subject you feel confident - not limited to physics.</p>

<p>anyone else? :S</p>

<p>Take the SAT2. </p>

<p>The ACT test date is pretty late and a 2200 is tons better than even a 31-32 if you were to get it up that high. It’s pretty hard to jump that much between two tests anyway.</p>
