<p>I am (was?) planning on applying EA to SFS, but on the website is says that "Please note that the Early Action review is based on information from freshman, sophomore and junior years, so it is not necessary to rush fall subject test scores. Fall scores will be added to an applicant's file if the student is deferred to the regular review. " I took 3 subject tests in January, and my scores were pretty dismal ( I was sick day of the test, and I should have waited until May):</p>
<p>Math 1 : 600
US History: 660
Literature: 630</p>
<p>I was planning on taking them again in the fall, but then they wouldn't count in EA Admissions,so I'd be better of waiting until RD, right? Am I reading the website correctly ?</p>
<p>I actually have a very similar question to this. It also says on the website that if you haven't taken three subject tests, you can still submit your application for EA and it will be given "full consideration".</p>
<p>Does this mean I can just submit my ACT score for EA? Has anyone ever been accepted EA without submitting subject tests? Do you have to submit them if you are accepted EA?</p>
<p>I wondered about that, too. My D took 3 in 1 morning (haven't gotten scores yet) to be SURE she had all three done before fall...........but does that mean that if a student hasn't taken them, and another student has they get the same consideration? If so, why take them?</p>
<p>Yep, it says, " Georgetown does not deny students under our Early Action program." And "We will consider any senior year testing if we receive it in time to review along with the file". So my October scores might make it, and if not, atleast I can't be denied..</p>
<p>Hey, I took my subject tests in the fall, and also applied EA.
You know, if you take them in like September, then they will get there in time. I took mine in October, and I can only guess they got them.
I can't remember whether I called or where I got this answer from them, but it's legit:
If you take your Subject Tests in September, they will be looked at. If you take them in October, there's a good chance they will be looked at. After that, there's a slim chance.</p>
<p>Basically, if your application gets looked at after your scores have gotten there, then they will. It's based on a lot of luck.</p>
<p>And I would apply EA anyway because it really can't hurt. I got deferred in December, but I got accepted regular decision.</p>
<p>for SFS, does taking a variety of tests matter? i took math1 640, lit 630, ush 750. i can bump my math score up no matter what, but i HATE the lit test. considering that its SFS, would it be ok to take world history instead of lit? the scores were already sent, btw.</p>
<p>I am definitely taking them again to get my scores up because the Math and Spanish grades most likely do not cut it. </p>
<p>Would you say it is better to apply EA anyway, with a good chance of being deffered? Or, would you say it is better to just wait until regular decision when all of my final scores are in?</p>
<p>Degoutant - I'm pretty sure Georgetown, like most other schools, only looks at your highest test scores. So if you made higher than a 630 on another test, they wouldn't really consider the lit score.</p>
<p>I don't really have a basis for comparison between US History and World History, but you should probably take the one you have had a class in/feel most comfortable with. The US History test is REALLY specific, but the scale is pretty generous; not sure about World History.</p>
<p>Ace22 - Do you anticipate that your scores will be significantly higher? If not, I'd say go ahead and apply EA. I don't really think applying EA can hurt you. And if you take the tests in September and request that they be sent to Georgetown, they should reach DC by the time they get around to looking at your application. And don't freak out about your test scores - they really don't matter as much as other important factors, as long as they aren't abysmal, which yours aren't.</p>
<p>I thought that you only needed to take 2 for EA and they would still fully consider your application. If accepted you dnt have to take another one but if you are deferred you have to take another one.</p>
<p>Technically speaking, you don't have to take any SATIIs for your EA application to be considered:</p>
<p>**Note to Early Action Applicants:</p>
<p>Given the Early Action deadline of November 1, the Committee on Admissions recognizes that applicants may not be able to meet the SAT Subject Test requirements. Those candidates are welcome to submit an Early Action application, and the application will be considered complete and reviewed in its entirety. Candidates applying under the Early Action plan who have not yet taken three Subject Tests should still register to take the tests in the event they are deferred from Early Action to Regular Decision. If there are extenuating circumstances which prevent an applicant from submitting three SAT Subject Test scores, the applicant should provide a written explanation to the Committee on Admissions to be included with the application. *</p>
<p>i have a very similar question, except my subject scores are much lower ( i was very sick that day)</p>
<p>Bio- 730
Math 2- 550
Spanish- 620</p>
<p>I can def. bring up math and spanish, but should i do this in october? I really need to retake SAT I's also and was planning on taking that in sept. I still want to do SCEA. Will this be plausible??</p>
<p>It is completely possible. They took my october ACT scores, which I took stand by. Those scores are released a lot later than september. What you'll find out is that they really will take new information up until like december 8, a week before decisions come out. I had friends doing interviews up until the first week in december.</p>
