<p>Hey guys so the SAT 2 BIO score came out today and i got a 660 :confused: Is that good? What percentile is it? Is it good enough for schools like NYU or UPENN? By the way i am a sophomore who is taking academic biology. I want to be a doctor when i grow up. Also I am going to take AP bio senior year along with Physics Honors and i know it’s better to take the sat 2 before senior year so should i self-study for the Physics SAT and should i retake the bio sat as well?</p>

<p>If you’re aiming for the ivies you’re going to want SAT II’s in the 700s. I’m not sure what percentile 660 is, but it’s not in the ivy range. It’s a good start, considering you’re only in academic biology this year. Retake it senior year when you’ve had higher level biology.</p>

<p>Physics is a difficult class. I wouldn’t recommend self-studying for the physics SAT II. Some of my friends in honors physics took it this year and they said it was hard. </p>

<p>My advice is to only take a science SAT II if you are in the corresponding AP class.</p>

<p>But i heard it doesnt count much for the admissions process if i take it in June of senior year?</p>

<p>If you took BioE 660 is the 64th percentile. If you took BioM 660 is the 52nd percentile [approximately]

<p>You’d have to take it in the fall or winter of your senior year, before your application deadlines. You won’t be finished with the course, but you’ll have started AP Bio. You’re going to have to do some self-studying to take it.</p>
