Will this SAT II score ruin chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Im a junior, and I would really like to go to MIT for Chem.Eng. However, I got a 620 in the SAT II. :(.</p>

<p>Will this one score ruin my chances of even getting waitlisted?</p>

2

<p>You got a 620 on Chemistry? Yeah, it would probably hurt then. I would take it again since you're still a junior and you have time. If you get a 750+ the second time, you should be fine.</p>

3

<p>But im not enrolled in any type of Chem class. Even with studying, I dont think it will improve my much...
If I do well on the math and another type, I could still get in right?</p>

<p>Hey SAT has come out with a new Score Choice option u don't have send the scores if u don't want to... check out collegeboard.com and the SAT SCORE CHOICE explanation is right there!</p>

<p>^^
Yes but I am currently taking Design Technology, and wont have Physics untill next year- and MIT requires an SAT II in Science and Math.</p>

<p>I mean, i have nothing to hide I just hope everything doesnt come down to one score.</p>

6

<p>You could take chem outside of school like at a local community collegeover the summer, then you would also also credits for college as well as study for SATchem.</p>

7

<p>Why would you pick the most rigorous engineering I'd u never even took chem in high school your gonna get killed with work I would think</p>

8

<p>^^ I did take Chemistry, just not AP or IB, and Im going to take IB Physics next year, as Physics is a requirement for Engineering.</p>

9

<p>word on the street is that the sat ii is a better indicator of freshman grades than the sat i. just sayin'</p>

<p>What are your other stats (SAT, ACT, etc.)?</p>

<p>I don't want to sound blunt, but you wish to apply to one of the best science schools in the world. That is a good aspiration, but without AP sciences, high levels of mathematics, and insanely high standardized test scores, you may want to study linguistics with Noam Chomsky instead.</p>

11

<p>a 620 in chemistry is definitely going to hurt for chem eng, you definitely need to retake.</p>

12

<p>well, if youre not required to send it in, then dont report it on your app, but if you have to submit it then definitely take it again and aim for 680+. but if youre applying to MIT then im assuming you have other aspects of your app that are godly</p>

<p>chance me back

<p>I actually have studied his linguistics theory in Theory Of Knowledge.... to bad he is in denial of a tribe that destroys his theory.</p>

<p>Simply out of curiosity, could you briefly explain his theory?</p>

<p>it would hurt for MIT</p>
