<p>First off, I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has helped me throughout my college search. I have narrowed my list of reaches down to Princeton, Dartmouth, and Georgetown. Although I'm confident in most of my application, I am confused or maybe concerned about my SAT Subject Test scores. Is a 780 in US History, 740 in World History, and 690 in Literature sufficient for serious consideration at these schools? The rest of my application is solid (2250 SAT, 2nd in class, 4.0 GPA, lots of sports and extracurriculars). </p>
<p>Can anyone help me?</p>
<p>Top schools such as the ones on your list like to see 700+ on SAT Subject Tests; the higher, the better. As far as my knowledge goes, these test scores aren’t make/break in the application process, especially for Georgetown, where subject tests aren’t required. Retaking the Literature one could help, but your other scores are solid. </p>
<p>Also, I’d say Princeton is a reach. Not because of your stats, but because it’s Princeton, meaning unless you’ve already won a Nobel Prize as a high school student, it’s a reach.</p>
