As most know, Georgetown requires 3 SAT Subject Tests. Does anyone know what the average Subject Test score is for accepted applicants at Georgetown? Also - which Subject Tests is the Walsh School of Foreign Service generally looking for?
TIA!
Georgetown, like any top school, would like to see high scores on the subject tests (a 700+). However, there is no set minimum score that must be met. This year, I got in with only one score above a 700 (I took 5 SAT IIs) and I know of another fellow admittee who had a score below 500 and was accepted.
As for which tests would be most appropriate for a SFS applicant, a language, and one or two of the histories. If the applicant is strong in a science or math that could make them seem more well-rounded.
Thank you! I was wondering about the foreign language SAT - I heard mixed reports because native speakers tend to skew the average test score. Would not taking that one make or break an applicant?
No. Similarly a sub-700 Subject Test score will not torpedo the application either.
