Hello,

I did poor on my SAT Subject Tests, getting a 680 on Chemistry and 690 on Math 2. I know these are bad scores and that MIT wants scores that start with 7. However, I have a decent SAT score (1520, still waiting on my most recent SAT score to come out, pretty confident it’s higher) and a good ACT score (35). I’m applying early action and don’t have the time to study to try and get better scores for the November test. I also a good GPA (number 1 in class of 800), have a good wide range of extracurriculars, and a passion for computer science (which doesn’t really rely on math / chemistry). I’m also submitting a social media app built in Swift through the Maker Portfolio that I’ve been working on for the past couple of months and is a huge / complex project that I feel might make up for mediocre scores. How much do you think will these bad SAT II scores hurt my chances?
