<p>I'm planning on majoring in political science and/or foreign relations. What SAT IIs are required to get into Georgetown?</p>
<p>I am taking three SAT IIs in June:
1.) World History
2.) Spanish
3.) Literature</p>
<p>What else should I need?</p>
<p>You only need 3.</p>
<p>most schools expect you to take at least one math/science one... if I were you, I'd look into taking either Math IC or IIC, Bio, or Chem... (Math IC is easiet in my opinion)</p>
<p>Even if you're majoring in something that does not require any math?</p>
<p>It's not a bad idea to take more than is "required." First of all, if you are going to be doing a non-math major, and you do poorly on it, then 1) you don't necessarily have to report it and 2) it won't have as much of a negative impact because after all, youre not going for a math major. That said, if you do well, it shows that you have a wider array of abilities. Also, other school that you may choose to apply to may require it, so all the way around, it's not a bad idea to go for it.</p>
<p>I agree with the fact that other schools might require a Math SAT, but I personally think there's no need to take more than is required. Seriously, don't spread yourself out too thin. Score very high on a few, not average on a lot. Also, you should be concentrating on other things besides tests, like your essays and EC's, and grades.</p>
<p>unless your planning on doing really well on the lit. test, i would take the US history exam---its more relavent to what you want to do---i ended up not applying to g-town, but that was the line up i had for g-town:world, spanish, and us----didn't you say you were fluent in mandarin?(i'm assuming you can read the language as well)---if you are most definitely take that test too -----in the end though i really don't think the SATII's add up too much for G-town---just make sure you get a 650 or above on each on them and you should be golden</p>
<p>I don't know about the SAT II's not counting for much for Georgetown. I think you have a good balance of subjects, but like in my other post, it wouldn't hurt to throw in math or science (obviously if other colleges require it).</p>
<p>armcp, I'm fluent in Spanish... not in Mandarin. I'm planning to learn Mandarin next year when I stay in China, but I am in no way fluent in it.</p>
<p>That said, I might take the American history test. I'm a history wiz, so it won't be a problem. I'm predicting two 800s for the Spanish and World History SATs II that I take, and maybe a 700 in Lit. Let's see... maybe those three will be enough, but if I can pull an 800 on the American history one, then why not try it as well? It can only help me.</p>
