Do I have weak test scores?
I feel I have weak scores compared to the average Caltech admit from the pool
I'll give you my highest scores:

SAT II Math lv 2 = 790
SAT II Physics = 720

SAT Reasoning (One sitting): 690 CR; 750 Math; 750 Writing = 2190
SAT Reasoning (Superscored): 690 CR; 800 Math; 750 Writing: 2240

They're on the lower side, but they aren't enough for you not to be admitted.

If you have strong grades and teacher recs, a 720 will not automatically reject you.

You're evaluated holistically.

Don't worry about it. Your scores are within range, which is all they're important for anyway.
