Your scores are pretty good and your grades are as well. I have a neighbor who has a tribal affiliation and was recruited quite rigorously by all the Ivies. Good Luck! Ralph,

Well, I just got my SAT II results and it seems I'm a pretty bad predictor. Turns out I did a lot better in Chemistry and a lot worse in Math 1 than I thought originally thought. Chemistry - 670 Math Level 2 - 670 Math Level 1 - 590 I seriously don't know what happened here. But, anyway, I know that a 700 is good for the top colleges, but are 670's really that bad? Could it be a deal breaker? Would it be worth telling them that I hadn't taken math or chem. courses for about 8 months (I couldn't take bio or physics because I haven't finished those courses yet), and that I'm from Canada so I wasn't used to the SAT's? Or would they not care? I'm so confused... Thanks for any help, Ralph Hi again! Well, I just got my SAT II results and it seems I’m a pretty bad predictor.

Chemistry – 670
Math Level 2 – 670
Math Level 1 – 590
I seriously don’t know what happened here. But, anyway, I know that a 700 is good for the top colleges, but are 670’s really that bad? Could it be a deal breaker? Would it be worth telling them that I hadn’t taken math or chem. courses for about 8 months (I couldn’t take bio or physics because I haven’t finished those courses yet), and that I’m from Canada so I wasn’t used to the SAT’s? Or would they not care? I’m so confused…

Thanks for any help,
