<p>narrow down your list of schools, and list only your main EC’s, and then keep the rest and people will be more willing to chance. this opst is daunting.</p>

<p>How are you on your SAT subjects? If I were you, I would aim for 2250+, just to be on the safe side :)</p>

<p>I am scheduled to take SAT Subject Tests in Literature, Mathematics Level 1, and U.S. History this fall. Hopefully I can manage above a 700 on all of them.
As for the SAT, I don’t plan on taking it again. Once was painful enough for me. =]</p>

<p>Also, will my 36s on English and Reading make up for my poor score in Math (28; Geometry just kills me) on the ACT?</p>

10

<p>I say that it will definitely raise eyebrows. Will you be re-taking the ACT, then? I would strongly recommend it for high selectivity institutions such as Princeton, Brown, Amherst, Swarthmore, Yale, William and Mary, UPenn, Northwestern, and Columbia.</p>

<p>And might I suggest that you take Mathematics Level 2 instead of 1? The curve is much more easier.</p>

11

<p>I won’t be retaking the ACT. Two times is enough.
And I definitely will take your suggestion into consideration. Thanks!</p>
