Georgetown on SAT/SAT Subject Tests

<p>Hey Im New to CC and I was wondering if I could get some college admission advice and a chance for Georgetown MSB. </p>

<p>GPA: 91.8 unwieghted (average @ my school this year is 90.5)
No Class Rankings
Senior Year Courses: AP Lit, Multivariable Calc, AP Physics E&M, AP Euro
AP Scores: Calc BC (5), Chem (3), Physics C Mech (4)
June SAT: 640CR 710M 720W 11E (2070)
October SAT: 650CR 750M 790W 10E (2190)
November Subjects Tests: 800Math2 630Physics 570Lit
(very minimal prep for SATs, zero prep for Subject Tests)</p>

<p>Last test date that Georgetown accepts is January, December deadline has passed. So should i retake Subject Tests (I can improve physics to 750+ and Lit to maybe 700+) or Reasoning Test (I can improve CR to 700+; i ordered my QAS and about 10 of the 12 i got wrong on CR were easy and can be attributed to stupidity/carelessness)?</p>

<p>Does Georgetown put more emphasis on subject tests or reasoning test?. Suppose that I can definitely bring my M+CR composite to (1500)+ should i just retake reasoning test or subject tests?</p>

<p>Solid ECs and Essays.
Honors: Certified Mechanical Drafter, Physics Olympiad Score: 12, AP Scholar so nothing
Hooks: First Generation
Ethnicity: Indian from NJ
Income: X<60,000</p>

<p>Any other suggestions for colleges and/or anything else would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>If you really believe that you can improve that CR score enought to break 1500, i would take the SAT rather than the Subject TEsts
Although your Physics score is mediocre and our Lit score is poor, since the SAT (or for those who take the alternative, ACT) is the gold standard that everyone has in common, I think that’s more important.</p>

<p>Retake them all. There is considerable emphasis on both.</p>

<p>I won’t have time to retake them all. So SAT is more valuable in this case? I know for the subject tests I can definitely pull above a 750 with enough prep and actually be able to see tangible results. SATs are more risky, but i should be able to break 1500. </p>

<p>Can my physics score be made up by my course load in Physics (3 years of Physics in HS- Physics I, AP Physics C Mech (4 on AP), AP Physics C E&M). With that said, I know i should have easily gotten 750+ in physics with my experience in physics.</p>
