<p>Will good SAT II scores compensate for fairly average SAT I scores (for the schools i am applying to my SAT I is probably below average)?</p>

<p>SAT I
2090 (650 CR 740 M 700 W)</p>

<p>SAT II
800 Math IIC
770 Chem
750 USH</p>

<p>I plan on applying to UMich, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and Northwestern</p>

<p>I love how on these boards, a 2090 is a “fairly average” SAT score. Sat 1 scores are usually more important than Sat IIs. It never hurts to score high on those though.</p>

<p>Hmmm, true funny that a 2090 is apparently “average”, and I’d defintely have to agree that SAT I scores are more important than SAT II scores though I had been exactly in the same boat, and I think that my SAT II scores slightly compensated for my SAT I scores [especially since there was a 310 point difference], though I managed well including some from your list so good luck.</p>
