Which SAT Subject Scores should I send?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hello. I am a senior who is looking to get into academically rigorous schools such as HYSPM, Ivies, and top schools in general. I'm having trouble deciding which Subject SAT scores to send though for schools that do not use Score Choice.</p>

<p>My scores are:
800 - Math Level 2
800 - Biology M
770 - Chemistry
760 - Physics
730 - US History</p>

<p>Some say that it is best to send all scores, but I feel like the lower half of my scores do not compare to the upper half of my scores and would make a more negative impression on admissions offices if they were to see the lower scores (especially those of top colleges!). Can low scores potentially be harmful? Is there a good cut-off point for SAT Subject scores or even percentiles to go by for top colleges? Should I just send my 800 scores? If you have absolutely ANY insight on this matter, please do comment as I have been thinking about this for a very long time and cannot make up my mind.</p>

<p>Thank you very much!</p>

<p>If the schools don’t use score choice, don’t you have to send them all? That makes it easy- nothing to think about!</p>

<p>You are assuming you have a low score when you actually do not. Just send them all even if the college does not require all scores. Your scores demonstrate that you are fine in any science, not just one, and can even score high in history even though you are likely applying for science or engineering (assumption made based on the “M” in your list).</p>

<p>Oh I’m sorry, I meant school that DO* use score choice. Sorry ><</p>

<p>Thanks drusba for your advice! But still, dose anyone else have any other opinion?</p>

<p>Honestly, they are all very good. I think math and biology show good balance. I would choose the two 800s.</p>

<p>Anymore opinions?</p>

<p>send the scores for the major that you are applying for. Very simple. Colleges want to see your interest. If you are going into Bioengineering, send both your 800s, if you are applying for chem engineering, chem and math. Every science will want your MATH IIC score.</p>

<p>Depends on how you want to present yourself, but it probably doesn’t matter either way. Really.</p>

<p>Just submit them all. Let the chips fall where they may.</p>
