SAT II Score Dilemma

<p>I am applying to Harvard and Georgetown who both require 3 SAT II scores as you guys probably know.</p>

<p>My scores (only subject test scores as of November):</p>

<p>800 - Math II
800 - U.S. History
440 - German with Listening</p>

<p>1) Do Harvard and Georgetown accept January SAT II scores (I did not sign up for the December test date)?</p>

<p>2) Is the Biology test easy to self-study for if you are taking the AP Biology class this year? I am either thinking of taking Math I, Biology, or Literature in January (if allowed).</p>

<p>3) Are colleges telling the truth when they say they ONLY look at your highest scores? Cause I do not want them to see my german score....</p>

<p>Why would they lie? It's good for their CDS.</p>

<p>Maybe you should consider standby registration for the December test. I'd recommend Literature over Math 1 because a) it doesn't require a lot of prep, and b) two maths seems a bit pointless to most people.</p>

<p>Assuming you can get a decent third score, I wouldn't worry about the German. First of all, they say they won't consider it. Secondly, a foreign language will probably be viewed less critically than a math/science/history subject (unless you want to major in German).</p>

<p>I have the same problem... minus 800s</p>

<p>mati-640 ush-610 matii- 600 physics 530 bioe- 540 chem-470 <<< my science teachers were terrible, and of course I'm majoring in atmospheric science.....</p>

<p>and the 540 is after taking AP Bio for a month. App. if your schools "require" them, the scores could potentiall hurt your app. , but I was told if they are only "recommended", they can only help, not hurt. Good luck!</p>
