Hi guys,
I'm applying to Oxford Biological sciences. I'm applying to other med schools but have no confidence in me to try for 10 spots at Oxford against those Olympiad winners.
I have a few questions, really important to me
1.I just took ACT 3 days ago, confident on 33 or 34 or 35, but in the case of it being 33/34 i'm retaking it in October for not only U.K. but also for U.S. If i take it in October my score doesn't come out till early November, how do I report this score? Do I put it as pending and send them an email saying I'll report my newest ACT score in early November ASAP so please hold off your decision till then? I'm sure SOME Oxford applicants didn't have their SAT's done until senior year. SAT's don't start till October so I was wondering how you guys who took SAT for the first time in October(or good SAT score) handled it... I'm sure Oxford isn't mean and be like F U to all who haven't gotten 2200+ before Senior year started?
2.I'm also taking more SAT II's...Two being Biology and Physics, in October and November...Without these, I might actually don't have enough 700+ or 5 on AP's to make up the 3(I don't know what these "appropriate subjects" are for biological sciences..they don't mention it LOL). Thus I need these, but would they consider me without these and wait for my scores or be like "oh this x doesn't have even 3 things we require, even though he's taking it in 2 days we cut him off right away, even though we can wait for his scores to come, rejected biatch!"
3.Also one more question is do i need to report EVERY SINGLE SCORE? LIke how would they know if i took a test or not... I have some AP scores that are sketchy dont wanna report them.. should i anyway?
So really my main question is would they consider my updated scores at all if I request them to(and I put them as pending on my UCAS page)? I really want a response form a person who didn't have any SAT score(or insufficient AP or SAT II tests) up till October of grade 12 year and had to submit as "pending" for UCAS and then updated university with the score...
Thanks a bunch!
