SATII... do they really matter?

<p>How do your SATII scores affect your application for
-Princeton (requires 3)
-Stanford (recommends 2)
-Johns Hopkins (I think they recommend 2)</p>

<p>… would those schools flat out reject you if you have bad subject test scores??</p>

<p>Thank yoU!</p>

<p>Well…if they require it, obviously if you don’t take them your application will not be complete. xD But, I think they look at those scores like they do with the SAT I. I don’t think they’d reject you just because your scores were a little bad. Okay, if you did <em>really</em> bad, I’m sure it’d be a black mark on your application, but if you did at least better than average, I’m sure you’re okay. Your test scores aren’t the only thing that matter. If you have a strong application, don’t worry so much.</p>

<p>Just because you have bad scores doesn’t mean you don’t have no chance of getting in. The same would go for if you had good scores and no clubs and a bad GPA. The scores aren’t all that are going to get you into the school but the application as a whole.</p>

<p>What do you consider as a “really bad” score? How would schools like Johns Hopkins view scores in the mid-600’s?</p>
