<p>Hello... Please excuse me if I'm posting in the wrong section or anything else as this is my first post on college confidential!</p>
<p>I recently received my APWH subject test score and it was a 710...
I am planning to apply to major colleges such as UC and ivy leagues. </p>
<p>If I'm planning to major in the sciences, does it matter if my score is 710? How bad will this 710 hurt my chances for getting into these colleges?</p>
<p>Thank you</p>

<p>These forums really kinda go dead in the summer. It’ll pick back up around the September ACT’s. </p>
<p>As for your 710, is it 750 or 800? No. </p>
<p>But is it going to be the sole, determining factor that keeps you out of Berkeley or Dartmouth? Of course not. </p>
<p>710 is a pretty good score. </p>
<p>If you have the opportunity to retake, check the university policies and see if they request all scores, then do so. I wouldn’t feel that your application is marked by that 710.</p>
<p>Thank you for replying. Can less-than-what-I-wanted scores be overshadowed or “covered” by better subject test scores / AP test score ? Because I think I did pretty good on the AP test. I absolutely underestimated the subject test and did only one night of studying…</p>
<p>It’s good enough to not keep you out. No test score will get you in, though. Worry about other parts of your application is my advice</p>
<p>I see… thank you</p>
