Anyone know how important SAT II scores are? For instance, if I got a 710 on one, would it make much of a difference than if I got a 790? I heard that once you're above 700, it doesn't make much a difference.

You have a pretty good chance of getting in! And well, I'm pretty sure it is ideal to get 750+ but hey anything above 700 is fine!
