Will these SATII scores help or hurt?

<p>I plan to apply to a couple of Ivies and top schools. I got 34 C (32 E/35 M/35 R/34 S) in the ACT, and am also predicted 45/45 for my IB Diploma. However, I only got 780 and 730 in Math II and Chem :( </p>

<p>Some of my schools require SAT IIs, so should I retake or keep this score? Also, should I send it to schools that are optional on SAT IIs? Will it harm or help my 'academic' portion of consideration with such score?</p>

<p>P.S.: For ACT-only-friendly schools, will I be disadvantaged if I do not send in SAT IIs?</p>

<p>Almost all successful applicants to Ivy League and other top colleges have SAT II scores of 740. If time allows, you should retake the chemistry test. If you you get a higher score in your retake, I would definitely send the scores in to schools that do not require them.</p>

<p>You won’t be at a disadvantage if you chose not to send your SAT II scores to a ACT-only-friendly college.</p>

<p>honestly I feel like as long as the rest of your application is great you should not worry about your scores.</p>
