<p>So the SAT Subject test scores came out today...and I didn't do so well on one of them :(</p>
<p>Spanish (not listening): 800
Math 1: 640 (lol)</p>
<p>Now before you all accuse me of being a native speaker and ruining the Spanish curve, I'm actually completely white, nobody in my family speaks Spanish, and I started learning it at 14. So with me being a non-native speaker I think that this was a great accomplishment. But.......the math score is so bad and I didn't really prepare at all because I had midterms everyday the week of the exam. Since there is such a discrepancy between the two scores, do you think it would make or break me?</p>
<p>My SAT 1 is a 2110 and my GPA is about a 3.9</p>
<p>I applied to the following schools: UPenn (legacy), USC, UCB (OOS), UCLA (OOS), UCSB (OOS), WashU, and UMich
I don't feel like going into detail with all of my EC's but they are pretty good and most of them involve Spanish. Another thing is that I applied as a Spanish major to all of these schools. Oh, and just for clarification, I already got into a couple schools so don't think I just applied to highly-selective ones. Thanks!</p>
<p>UCs don’t require subject tests. Also, they only really care about them if you’re a STEM major. so it probably won’t affect you at any of those except for maybe Penn and WashU. and even with those 2, it’s such a small part of the application that any effect it has will be tiny</p>
<p>Saying your chances are “ruined” is a serious exagerration. In no way are your chances ruined. In fact, I would say your biggest drawback is the over-emphasis on Spanish. But then again, too much of a good thing is a good problem to have… </p>
<p>Overall I woulden’t be too concerned. One math score is not going to ruin your entire application.</p>
<p>Thanks for the response. And well I don’t think it’s an over-emphasis because Spanish has been my main passion for the last four years and I’m even majoring in it. So I wanted to be as competent as possible in the field.</p>
<p>Considering you’re planning on majoring in Spanish, and Math and Spanish have no real direct link, I’d say, while this wasn’t the best thing that could’ve happened, you’ll be fine. </p>
<p>I’m a chemistry major with a Math2 score of 630 & just got into USC lol. For the UCs & USC, this shouldn’t hurt you at all. It just won’t add anything. Your SAT1 is more important, anyways.</p>
