<p>Hey everyone. Let me sat thanks now in advance to anyone who replys to this. </p>
<p>I’m really worried cuz I sent my SAT II World His. scores to Colleges (really competitive college 2 :(…Brown, Cornell, Columbia, and Georgetown). I’m a hard working student and I love global so I really expected to do well. </p>
<p>I got a 5 on AP and a 98 on the regents (what we have to take in NY to graduate). Every1 was saying how the SAT II would be easy compared to the class, but I got a 590!! I couldn’t speak for the 1st 15 minutes after checking the scores on line. And I feel even worst now after going on this site and reading how ppl r worried cuz they got a 750!? (dear lord~!) </p>
<p>Down to the pt, I’m worried b/c I’m afraid if these scores are going to hurt my application. Most of these scores only require 2 Sats, so is that one that I sent going to be nailed down in my records at the schools, for being one of the 2 scores? </p>
<p>Or can they kinda forget it was ever there and just take my other two higher scores???</p>
<p>adcoms generally look at your 3 best SAT II’s…to make you feel better, i would suggest taking another SAT II…and getting a good score this time ;] I say this because 590 would be a bit of a blow to your stats, especially since you’re applying to schools that actually require SAT II…meaning higher-than-average competitive schools. good luck!</p>
<p>no…adcom is a shortened term for admission community (or commissions?) it’s basically the admission officers at whichever schools you’re applying for…
btw, if you’ve received 5 on your AP and 98 on your regent (though i have no idea what that is) then the schools wouldn’t look at your 590 score as harshly. use my previous post as a way of saying: “just a safety measure”</p>
<p>do u recommend taking it again in Oct? I’ll prepare but what good does that do if I’ve forgotten alot of it…</p>
<p>btw, if u’r wondering, Regents are mandatory exams in NYC where students have to take for each subject each year. U have to pass the exams to go on to the level in each subject. If u fail, u go to summer school and hope u pass. In my school, if u fail one, u have to leave cuz then you won’t reach graduation requirements, but then again it a catholic school.</p>

<p>if you’re not going for ED/EA, go for november testings/december…it doesn’t have to be the same subject…if you’re strong at history or other subjects that i may not know of, why not try those subjects as an alternative SAT?</p>
<p>wow…regents…i see that NY is a haven for many competitive students (and corresponding parental units as well). i was at a catholic school once…in canada. i didn’t mind the uniforms. :-/</p>
<p>Do you know what caused your bad score on the SAT II? Did you not know enough of the material, or did you remember stuff incorrectly, or were you just having a bad day?</p>

<p>Huh? I go to a Catholic school in NYC and I don’t have to take Regents</p>
<p>But yeah, seeing as you got a 5 on the AP, you can easily raise that grade if you retake in October. Just remember that the SAT II (at least from my experiecne–5 ap/780 sat ii) is appreciably more oriented towards knowing specific facts than the AP is.</p>
<p>lol, adcoms stands for admissions committee. what happened? did you line up the answer bubbles incorrectly or something? They’ll take your two highest scores but considering they can still see it they might wonder how it happened.</p>
