<p>I planned to take the Physics Subject Test today, but halfway through, I decided it was way too hard and erased all my bubbles (I am taking Honors Physics THIS year, so I definitely did not have enough preparation). As of now, my subject tests are:</p>
<p>Math Level 2 - 800
Korean w/ Listening - 800</p>
<p>I know that CALS recommends Math 2 and a science, but will not having a science hurt my application? I applied ED to AEM and November is the last date for ED.</p>
<p>Doesn’t really matter since you’re applying to AEM. Since CALS has a lot of science-based majors, they look for the science SAT 2. I can’t imagine it making a significant difference in your application. I’m a CALS GT (for Communications), and I didn’t even take an SAT II.</p>
<p>Hmm, a native language? I guess it would depend, I would think that it would add some extra flair to your application.
I’m guessing yours is Chinese/Korean?
But a 750+ in a foreign language is impressive, that much I know.</p>
<p>kmz, if you applied ED then did you already put in your commonapp that you planned to take the physics subject test?</p>
<p>im applying ED too, and i included korean w/ listening in my list of subject tests (taken/to be taken) but i opted out this morning… i emailed them asking if that was ok but i guess i wont hear from them until monday…</p>
<p>kMz, did you remember to fill out the paperwork and cancel your test score before leaving the test center today? If not, you need to do so by contacting the College Board by Wednesday to make sure a minimum grade of 200 does not get reported to your schools!</p>
<p>I’m applying to CALS for a biology and society major and I took the subject tests today as well. However instead of giving up on the physics section, I went through it anyway… and I’m pretty sure I’ll get a score in the 500s on it (Only answered 45/75 and guessed on a bunch)… How significantly is that going to affect my chances of getting in? I also took Math Level 1 and 2 today and I’m fairly confident I’ll score high on both of them. I already put that I was taking the Physics and Math Level 2 subject tests on my application and submitted… so I guess that means I have to send them my scores, right? Or can I like not send them it if it’s too low? I really need suggestions on this lol.</p>
<p>I don’t think CALS requires it and merely suggests it. If you have any I think you’ll be in a good shape. CALS is major specific so you should be fine. </p>
<p>That’s what I was told when I went to visit.</p>
<p>cornellhopeful… you can’t not send it. SAT scores are sent in a “bundle” which is all inclusive. It’s all or nothing. If you have one average score I don’t think it’ll be the end of the world. You’re applying for bio. and it was physics test; if it were a bio SAT II then I would worry, but you should be fine.</p>
