Hello everyone, I am applying to high tier schools such as Harvard and Princeton, who both require 2 subject tests. I took them in May and received: Math ll (800), US History (680), and Biology M (630).

Will my chances of being accepted be reduced significantly because of a lower test socre? How much does subject tests weigh in with their admissions process, considering that I have excellent EC’s/community service, top 1% of my class, and high ACT scores (33-34) + stellar rec letters/essays/interview? Should I retake the tests on Oct. 6 (in like two weeks, with virtually no practice at all)? Thanks!
