Hi, I just took the SAT Subject tests for Math II and Physics. I did horribly on physics, possibly even below 700 (not THAT horrible, but fairly bad).

The thing is, I really want to use the free score reports that Collegeboard gives you with each test, since I would like to save my family some money come next year when I am applying to colleges. However, I would have to send in ALL the scores.

QUESTION: Will one bad score on the SAT II Physics, next to perfect scores in Bio, USH, and the SAT Reasoning, and hopefully Math II hurt my application (even slightly?) Would it be better for me to cancel it?

QUESTION 2: Give me anecdotal evidence of someone who was rejected from UCLA/UC Berkeley with a perfect GPA and perfect SAT score, and fairly strong EC’s

QUESTION 3: Oxford University application advice (I live in the US, I will be an international)

QUESTION 4: Are there any programs that help you write your personal statement–I didn’t take a class for the SAT, but I would like to do so for college applications and the essays

QUESTION 5: Which Ivies retain the same essay prompt each year? I’d like to get a head start

QUESTION 6: Advice on the Common App Extracurriculars: for a sport, should I separate a club team and a school varsity team? And should I include academic teams that I was/will be on, even if I didn’t win anything amazing or do anything special in them? Where do I list awards or achievements, if it’s not part of an EC activity?
