really great act...lame subject tests

Test Preparation
1

<p>so it just so happens that the two schools i want to go to more than anything are two of the only schools in the country that require subject tests with the act plus writing AND don't allow score choice...</p>

<p>i have a 35 on the act :)
but scores of 750 (US), 710 (chem), 690 (mathh ii--retaken and only a 10+ improvement), and 620 (lit) on subject tests. :(
i also got a 2240 on the sat i, but i called the schools and they said they wouldn't really consider it since i'm submitting a better act...</p>

<p>i was strongly considering applying to georgetown early action, but now i'm worried about these stupid scores. the admissions office said they consider the 3 highest subject tests since they're technically just "recommended" ea (thank god for that 620)...but i feel like my other scores really aren't good enough...</p>

<p>and columbia? ughhh. they basically said they take everything into consideration, even though they only require two technically.</p>

<p>any thoughts/experience on the weight of lame subject tests compared to great reasoning tests in the admission process?</p>

<p>You have a shot at both of those schools. Make your essays amazing. You are fine.</p>

<p>your subject tests aren’t “lame.”
Believe it or not, scores other than 800s are considered good.
You’ll be fine!</p>
