<p>my situation is as follows…</p>

<p>i gave the SAT reasoning test 2 years ago…got around 1700…(ikr)
i gave the SAT subject tests this year got 750+ in bio and chem and 700+in phy…</p>

<p>ill be giving the ACT in oct and i do think i can get 32+</p>

<p>why did i get the 1700…my father had suffered a heard attack and was in the hospital at the time…he later on suffered a stoke which left him partially paralyzed which is y i am on my second gap year.</p>

<p>i plan on applying SCEA to yale this year…but i would LOVE to send my SAT subject test scores as they r quite good…but i dont want them to see the 1700… and the problem is tht yale doesnt want students to use score choice…</p>

<p>soo i can either just send the ACT scores
or ACT with all SATs including the 1700…and possibly an explanation on why i think i got the 1700??? would the explanation make any difference or will my application be hopelessly thrown in the rejected pile once they see the 1700…</p>

<p>The SAT 1700 you took as a Fr or Soph will be seen in that light. I wouldn’t worry about it one second.</p>

<p>oh no…im an international student and that was taken in my senior year (A levels)…i’m on my second gap year right now which is why its 2 years old…</p>

<p>I would send them the ACT score or retake the SAT. As an international student, it’s already super competitive. If you can get a good ACT score, then that will negate the need to send the subject test scores. If I were you, I’d aim for a 34+.</p>
