How important are the SAT IIs?

Have good scores in ACT, ok scores in SAT I, bad scores in SAT II. Colleges being looked at are Wash U, Williams, Rice, Davidson, Vandy, Emory. How important is it to get a good score in SAT II at these schools? Please let me know.

ACT composite (33)
PSAT (220)
CGPA (3.85 unweighted, 5.5 weighted)
Top 5% in competitive high school
SAT I --> M-700, CR-650, W-770, Essay - 11/12
SAT II --> Literature-700, MathII-650, Physics-580

thanks

Generally speaking, top colleges look for at least a 700 on your SATIIs, and 750s are preferred. I would focus on that aspect of your application as your scores might slightly hurt your chances.

rice ane emory maybe fine. but for williams your sat II scores must hit 750, at least.

also Rice is famous for enginnering so I think you'd better get 800 in math and physics if you want to apply to Rice. you know many friends of mine who are in Rice get 800 in math and physics.

I agree with the above posters. I would retake some of your SAT 2 tests if time allows for it.
