<p>regents are more important!!! believe it!</p>
<p>the most important class i took was earth science that counts for 4/5 and the regents for the other 1/5 of my grade%_%</p>
<p>if those are your sat II scores your not to smart to be honest sorry ")thats prabably what the college you are trying to apply to would say well no offense</p>
<p>If I read A for Admisssions correctly, it sounded like, at least at the Ivy’s where they calculate a “academic index”, SAT1 and SAT2 are weighted equally. The formula is basically the average of all the SAT grades plus a number that is based on your high school rank or their best estimate of the rank if your school doesn’t rank.</p>
<p>I would personally pick A, though it depends on the breakdowns before I make a final decision b/c if A’s SAT scores are all even down the line I might just slightly give it to student B, but if A has a perfect or near-perfect score I’d definitely give it to him</p>

<p>Be careful, he might start doing just that.</p>
<p>Okay, back to the post:</p>
<p>As Tonyt88 has said, I would also personally pick A. However, looking at trends, it seems that B would have a better chance.</p>
<p>It’s student B by such a ridiculously wide margin…</p>
<p>A 2340 is better than a 1 in 2000 score. Add in the fact that SAT IIs as a whole aren’t as important as the SAT and you have your answer. I think student B would be better even if student A had 3 800s.</p>
<p>Actually A has a 2180, and if he had three 800’s you better believe he would be winning by a long shot.</p>
<p>First of all, if you’d read my post carefully, you’d realize that I knew A has a 2180. Second of all, SAT IIs are content based, something that is more heavily measured in GPA. SAT measures somthing totally different, which is <em>supposed to be</em> innate ability. If SAT IIs were anywhere NEAR as important as SATs, schools would publish the numbers, since they’d undoubtedly be high.</p>
<p>I really hope you’re right, because I pretty much am Student B.</p>
<p>The bad part is that I plan on applying to Columbia ED, and feel that my SAT IIs will ruin my chances, although I have an A/A+ GPA.
It’s probably because my school doesn’t offer Honors or AP classes, so I’m at a big loss when it comes to standardized testing in particular subjects… But I doubt any colleges will take notice/care about that.</p>
<p>So hopefully an SAT score in about the 80-90% range of Columbia applicants will compensate for SAT IIs that fall at the opposite end of the spectrum… Although I have no idea, as I’m worried they’ll take lots of kids in the 2200s with low/mid-700s on SAT IIs, and thus kick me to the curb.</p>
<p>Blah.
Damn college admissions process…</p>
<p>hahahah the marc kid is just hilarious.</p>
<p>boot him.</p>
<p>i think B has a better chance, although A does look better :)</p>
<p>Hopefully, hopefully B has a better chance – I am B, haha.</p>
<p>And YEAH, that kid was effing annoying.</p>
<p>Seaghost - your SAT2 scores are FINE. Your chances at Columbia are probably much more dependent now on other aspects of your application.</p>
<p>seaghosts you may not get acceptance if you want 100 percent acceptance you should go to a community college</p>
<p>Umm, I didn’t say anything about being assured that I would get accepted to Columbia…</p>
<p>Thanks for the community college advice though. I think I’ll take my chances.</p>
<p>whats your grade on the Physics regents</p>
<p>I didn’t take it… ?</p>
<p>After reviewing this thread…marc and sean are both idiots</p>
<p>Upon further review, Seaghost, I think you have a great chance with your admission chances at Columbia. Hopefully you have some nice EC’s and a nice essay to finish it off…best of luck to you</p>
<p>seaghost … u have a WONDERFUL CHANCE … HOW DID U DOOOO SO WELL ON THE SAT !!! AND NOT HAVE ANY HONORS OR AP ! PLEASE GIVE ME POINT !</p>
<p>marc keeps on insiting that regents are important
