yeah man, satII's SUCK. UC's also require that you take the writing test, and one other test preferably chemistry or physics, and your admission to UC's is almost solely based on the satII's. the majority of private colleges also place weight on satII's. how much does that suck?!
I failed chem too, dont worry. I only got like a 670 on the SATII. I'm sure you'll do hella much better
Also, I read your comments below and its kinda ... mixed. acceptance to UC's are almost completely objective, while acceptance to private colleges is much more subjective and they look at everyone individually instead of using a formula like the UC's do. Also, UC's have no room for familial influence, which sucks for a lot of us. Dont worry, you're brilliant, youll go wherever you want
I disagree with what was previously said...I believe that it is all about the personal statement and your rank in high school...because i did poorly on SAT II's and the third one or whatever...yeah, i wanted to take spanish but when i got there i couldnt, so i took the US History one (and was totally unprepared)

I speak Spanish (well, I will be fluent by the end of high school), I have a million extracurricular political activism based activites, I did okay on the SAT regular. I am good at English, and by the time I graduate I will have done six years worth of history classes at my school. I've done interesting summer excursions, my dean loves me, I'm a pillar of our school community, and I am a Health and Sex Educator, among other things.
Plus, I have my mother's maiden name (pullin' some strings!)
If colleges do not accept me SIMPLY BECAUSE I AM BAD AT MATH AND SCIENCE than I swear to god I will kill myself.

I am fucking horrible at math.
I fail chem (literally) and have never taken physics.
I am going to die. Thanks.
