I'm applying to Social Science majors, but in VERY selective universities and my scores are CRAP.

740 reading, 730 writing but.....610 on math              

complete depression.

And your scores aren't bad at all.

Social Science majors are such BS. Unless you get a PhD you're going to become a school counselor.  

And your scores aren't bad at all.

A masters in International Relations shouldn't set me up as school counselor.

And I can't do ANYTHING with that math score. STUPID SAT it bugs me so much, I get 90% in Calculus and I have to epic fail at SAT crap.

(I'm doing the subject tests in december...)

I'm so depressed, I had worked so hard.
And my parents refuse to pay for US college unless it's an ivy league or stanford. So..yeah, great.

You guys figure I can do an early january reasoning test and rush the scores, or just forget about my applications for this year...

Your parents are douchebags. Sorry, but just because it is Ivy League does not mean it is the only school worth going to.

And your SAT is pretty damn good.

My parents refuse to pay the 50k price tag (which is insane..financial aid pleasee ) for any school that isn't  better than the University in my city, which is 20th in world rankings and is virtually free for residents.

And for the physics major part (someone else mentioned), hah well I hate physics. Chem is fine but physics...shudder!

I'm  only applying to Yale, Stanford, Columbia, Princeton, Dartmouth, Harvard and either Brown or Cornell,

but, i wouldnt have even known whether those scores were good or not had it not been for the replies.  I took the "old" SAT.

the OP knows that her scores are good, but instead of making a topic titled "HEY COME LOOK AT MY SAT SCORES- TELL  ME I IZ SMERT!" it is disguised as a pity fest.

That is ridiculous. I know my scores are good, but  they just aren't good enough. ''goodness'' is subjective to one's capabilities, effort, desires, goals..
