<p>GPA decent but scores could be higher. If your choices allow it, try retaking SAT I in January. You might have a hard time with the Ivies, but try do well on your SAT IIs and make sure your essays and recs are excellent.</p>

<p>Okay, do you think SAT IIs scores will effect my admission much? If I do not do well on my subject tests, do I still have a chance?</p>

<p>Define “don’t do well”. If it’s below 700, chances are it will be detrimental to your application. But I think anything in the mid/low 700s will be fine. Try to get a high 700 though, of course.</p>
