<p>my USH SAT II is lower, as in</p>
<p>MathIIC: 800
Physics: 800
Chem: 790</p>
<p>USH: 770</p>
<p>I KNOW there's a very insignificant difference between the scores, I'm just wondering what colleges do. What I mean is that I hear colleges like to see diversity in SAT IIs, but that they also look only at the top 3 score. Would they look at all 4 in my case then?</p>
<p>wait do u honestly think 770 and 790 are big differences?!?</p>
<p>they are all extremely high scores-- a 770 is way above average and it will be probably looked at as a very high score so i would definitely not worry about it if i were u</p>
<p>wow, can you not read? LOL I said INSIGNIFICANT...</p>
<p>why do you ask this?</p>
<p>You should definitely retake it. Get at least an 800 if not higher.</p>
<p>You should definately retake it. You need a perfect 800 otherwise you can't get into college.</p>
<p>yea those are terrible scores, noone gets into college with those kinds of scores</p>
<p>admissions officers first search for all 800's in your application, and if they don't find them, your application goes in the trash.</p>
<p>ummm...guys piccolojunior is not asking whether these are goods scores or not. he/she is just saying that since the top scores are not in diversified subjects, will the adcoms automatically take the top 3 and disregard the awesome score in history, thereby making him/her appear like an applicant with interests only in narrow fields. god, let's lighten up on the sarcasm for someone with a legitimate question. for example if piccolojunior is going to apply at harvard where i heard the actual committee has a typed sheet of only the top 3 scores, OP is asking whether it would weaken the effect of the general application since those top 3 are all in math/science, and NOT asking whether you think the scores are bad.</p>
<p>I was only joking, not trying to be mean.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>If you're applying as a science major, then I don't think anybody would care that you didn't [appear] to take non-mat/science subject tests.</p></li>
<li><p>IMO nobody really cares about the USH score as much as those other subject tests you took.</p></li>
<li><p>You don't have to take subject tests to show diversity. Take an AP course in a subject outside of your interests (which you've already done).</p></li>
<li><p>Take everything I say with a grain of salt. I'm not part of any HYP adcom.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>yeah, i agree with afruff23, if you're going to apply to MIT or the like, then i wouldn't worry about it. and if you have like a string of 5s or As in ap humanities then i guess you should be good to go. and good job on your scores (except chem...790? i thought you were my usnco comrade? jk :P ) awesome though!</p>
<p>USNCO is nothing to be proud of. I wouldn't even put it on my application.</p>
<p>/bitter because I missed the deadline for taking it this year (junior)
// I'm joking...</p>
<p>haha that was back when I was "unrefined"...May 06 = nothing but Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence (online mode FTW) so I woulda been screwed if I didnt to get my **** together and study for the week before the test lol.</p>
<p>LOL @ afruff, that's like me saying USNCO finalist is nothing to be proud of because I'm bitter that my stupid mistake cost me a trip to the camp.</p>
