Degoutant - I'm pretty sure Georgetown, like most other schools, only looks at your highest test scores. So if you made higher than a 630 on another test, they wouldn't really consider the lit score.

I don't really have a basis for comparison between US History and World History, but you should probably take the one you have had a class in/feel most comfortable with. The US History test is REALLY specific, but the scale is pretty generous; not sure about World History.


Ace22 - Do you anticipate that your scores will be significantly higher? If not, I'd say go ahead and apply EA. I don't really think applying EA can hurt you. And if you take the tests in September and request that they be sent to Georgetown, they should reach DC by the time they get around to looking at your application. And don't freak out about your test scores - they really don't matter as much as other important factors, as long as they aren't abysmal, which yours aren't.

I thought that you only needed to take 2 for EA and they would still fully consider your application. If accepted you dnt have to take another one but if you are deferred you have to take another one.

Technically speaking, you don't have to take any SATIIs for your EA application to be considered:

*Note to Early Action Applicants:

Given the Early Action deadline of November 1, the Committee on Admissions recognizes that applicants may not be able to meet the SAT Subject Test requirements. Those candidates are welcome to submit an Early Action application, and the application will be considered complete and reviewed in its entirety. Candidates applying under the Early Action plan who have not yet taken three Subject Tests should still register to take the tests in the event they are deferred from Early Action to Regular Decision. If there are extenuating circumstances which prevent an applicant from submitting three SAT Subject Test scores, the applicant should provide a written explanation to the Committee on Admissions to be included with the application.

i have a very similar question, except my subject scores are much lower ( i was very sick that day)

Bio- 730
Math 2- 550
Spanish- 620

I can def. bring up math and spanish, but should i do this in october? I really need to retake SAT I's also and was planning on taking that in sept. I still want to do SCEA. Will this be plausible??

hec2008

It is completely possible. They took my october ACT scores, which I took stand by. Those scores are released a lot later than september. What you'll find out is that they really will take new information up until like december 8, a week before decisions come out. I had friends doing interviews up until the first week in december.

i just realized that there isnt even a test date in sept, so I would have to take sat I's in oct and retake my subject tests in november. would they still get my nov scores? and can i withold/not give my previous subject test scores until i retake them in nov or do i have to show them both times i took them?

DCforMe

when you submit any one test from SAT, either I or II, all SAT tests are also submitted.

apatel_55

so youre saying if i submit the sat I all the sat IIs go along with it?

DCforMe

yes .

Question about the SAT II tests that hasn't been answered yet: I was considering taking my SAT II's in Math II, Lit, and either US or World History. Does that seem ok?

Also, I was going to do this after October so for the EA turn, I won't have any SAT II scores. Will that hurt me? It says on the website they don't care, but is that actually true?

I took my SAT IIs in MathII, Lit, and US History, and I'm going into the SFS this fall, so I think that's fine.
