<p>bicyclekick, I got into Tufts with a 650 in US History, SAT Reasoning--CR:590, Math:590, Writing: 610 (grand total of 1790 :/) I spent a lot of time moping about my scores but then decided to brush off the dust and take the ACTs, which I scored a 29 on, still not that great but better than a 1790. It just goes to show you that scores aren't everything haha</p>

<p>I took the SAT once so far and i got a 660 CR, 660 M, 690 W, 2010 overall, this was; however, without practice, i plan to take at least 8 practice tests and read an SAT book over the summer so I will hopefully improve my score by October. </p>
<p>Oh and I think my resume is decent, not too many extracurricular activities though (2 sports, a club, and 2 honor societies, and planning on volunteering or getting a job). Also, I'm #1 in my class and I take many rigorous Honors and AP courses so that should help :).</p>
<p>So should I retake my Math SAT II or does it not matter that much like you suggested?</p>

<p>Congrats on getting into Tufts! That's a tough school to get into.</p>

<p>RE SATII Math, it depends what you want to major in. If you are looking at the humanities (or History related since your score there is great) then no. If you're going into a science field or economics etc, then I'd give it another go. Your SAT I Math is higher than SAT II, which usually for most is the other way around given the more generous curve for Math2, so maybe you were just unlucky.
Also, it depends where you're applying but a lot of schools will just count the two highest and ignore the lowest. </p>
<p>Trying for the SATI again in Oct is a good idea. Not necessarily to increase your score, though with practice you no doubt will, but to allow for superscoring. If you are applying to privates at all, many superscore, meaning they take the best individual scores from the number of sittings.</p>
<p>Getting a job over the summer always looks good, shows initiative and responsibility. Your rank is obviously great, as is the courseload. You should be fine.</p>
<p>It's so weird... so many people did poorly on the SAT II Bio section and excelled at SAT II Chem section, but my friend is the other way around...-.-...</p>
<p>i plan to do medicine so i guess i may have to retake my SAT Math II.</p>
