TOEFL or SAT?? (btw, chance me plz)

Applying to College
1

<p>hi, im a high school student and gonna be senior nxt year.
i have taken SAT on may, and got awful score on reading+writing (which i cant even mention here :P)</p>

<p>since i've been US for 3 years, my counselor advised me taking TOEFL, but i don't really know that colleges only take a look at my TOEFL score or take both TOEFL AND SAT reading+writing as the consideration. </p>

<p>say i wanna apply for johns hopkins, is it hopeless if i got SAT under 2000?</p>

<p>my stats:</p>

<p>GPA: uw3.6 w4.4
SAT: reaing:<strong><em>, math:750, writing:</em></strong>
SAT II: math ic: 740, iic:800, bio:720, japanese:770
AP: have taken only 1 --> chinese:5</p>

<p>-senior yr-
AP BC calc
AP physics C
Honors Neuroscience
AP Psychology
Honors Adv. Art
(regular senior English)</p>

<p>EC
hmmm... not that much...
i've been painting school mural for quite long time, does that count?
also the illustrator for school paper
(maybe more.. :P)</p>

<p>Volunteering
-doing laboratory work at hospital science lab for 2-3 yrs (only doing vacations & breaks though...)
-did volunteer work at an orphanage and an elders' house for a week (6-7 hrs/day) in china.</p>

<p>JHU requires TOEFL iBT at least 99, and i'm pretty confident that i can get more than that. but i just dont know that if i get more than 99, they'll just ignore my SAT english scores or not.</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>I'm kinda confused, but just send in your TOEFL, not your SAT. Plus, I bet they will respect the fact that you've only been in the US for 3 years, hence the bad results with writing and reading.</p>

<p>TOEFL proves that you are proficient in English; the SAT CR proves that you're proficient in vocab in context and, gee, critical reading. So no, they won't ignore your SAT score.</p>
