Georgetown Subject Test Policies

<p>Georgetown STRONGLY RECOMMENDS 3 sat II's - because they are NOT REQUIRED, does that mean my mediocre scores will not hurt my chances significantly?</p>

<p>Math I - 740
Spanish - 640
Chem - 700</p>

<p>These scores aren't phenomenal, but I still want to go to Georgetown. Should I still send my scores?</p>

<p>send them ( though I recommend bringing up the 640, the others are fine). I may have misunderstood, but I believe if you dont sent 3 SAT IIs you have to write an extra essay</p>

<p>You must send three to be competitive. You still have time to take another one if you don’t want to send the 640. The 640 is not too bad, the others are fine.</p>

<p>I sent two SAT Subject Scores: Bio M-690 and Math II-670. My scores were incredibly mediocre, and I was still accepted Regular Decision. I wouldn’t stress about them too much; I think they are secondary to basically everything else.</p>

<p>Do you have to send all subject test scores? Can I just send two?</p>

<p>I think Georgetown’s Score Choice policy is All Scores. Does that apply to subject tests too? Or only the SAT reasoning test?</p>

<p>It you take three, you must send all three. The same for SAT.</p>

<p>I didn’t send my SAT IIs at all; there is no extra essay or anything like that. And I was accepted. So from my experience, I wouldn’t worry too much about those scores being the one thing that makes the difference. I mean, I’m sure they’re considered but they’re obviously not imperative for an acceptance.</p>

<p>Ok thanks guys. But because of the Score Choice policy at Georgetown, are my two options to either send EVERY SINGLE subject test score or send NONE? I can’t pick and choose which ones I want to send, right?</p>

<p>I am pretty sure Georgetown wants to see them all. You are a much stronger applicant sending those three, than sending none.</p>

<p>glido… will a 700 in World, 710 in Math II, and 690 in Chemistry hurt my chances?</p>

<p>Don’t worry about sending the 640. I had a 640 too, and while the other too were higher than yours, they were both Math subject tests, on the two different levels. So it really will be fine, do not retake it I’d say. Noboby is gonna reject simply you because you got a 640 on a chemistry subject test.</p>

<p>Ok thanks again. What if I took the ACT, would you suggest still sending the subject test scores?</p>

<p>Yes, even if you take the ACT, you have to send subject test scores. They don’t take them that seriously though. I know people who didn’t send any and were accepted. It’s coming back to haunt them now, though, because scores are used for language course placement.</p>

<p>"glido… will a 700 in World, 710 in Math II, and 690 in Chemistry hurt my chances? "</p>

<p>Pretty Awesome: Those are good scores. They will not hurt you.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>

<p>Keep in mind Georgetown only accepts less than 3 subject tests for EA. Three scores are required for regular decision. If you apply EA with less than three and are deferred, you must submit another score to be considered in the regular round.</p>

<p>Would it be bad to send both bio e and m(690 in both) and a 660 in Spanish?</p>

<p>^ To which school are you applying? Although not necessary, I would probably try to vary the subject tests to show a range of your abilities. The SFS will use the SAT II FL score to place you in your language course (to facilitate the proficiency requirement at the proper pace).</p>
