Should I change my testing plans? Please help me!

<p>So I just took the SAT and was a little disappointed with my performance. I seized up and panicked, probably ending up with a score far lower than what I could really get. </p>

<p>Some background info:</p>

<p>So I'm just an average applicant with no hooks, so getting a very good SAT score is like integral for me to be successful with college admissions. My score from last year's test was a 2210, my predicted score for today's test is 2300, and my goal score is 2370 - 2400. </p>

<p>I am applying to Georgetown EA SFS and reallllly wanna get it. However, Georgetown requires three SAT II's and I only have one SAT II with a good score (USH 800)...on my other two SAT II's I got a 720 (Math II) and 690 (Literature), so obviously they're liabilities. My original plan was to do well on this SAT, take Lit and Math II again in November and then in December, take World History and Bio (for MIT). I really need to take World History during December, because I know I will do really well on it (prospective major: history) and I have to take Bio for MIT. Sooo basically, my question is this:</p>

<p>Should I change my registration for November and instead of the subject tests take the reasoning test again for a better score? Or should I just deal and take the subject tests? I don't want to compromise my chances with Georgetown by not having all three tests even though they sayyy its okay, but I also think a higher SAT score would really help me out. My main concern at this point is Georgetown admissions. I can take the January SAT for all my other college apps.</p>

<p>A score of 2300 is quite strong; increasing your score (even to 2400) would affect your chances to no great extent.</p>

<p>do you really think so? SFS is the most selective of Georgetown’s schools, and on top of that I’m Indian and from NJ… so I feel like I have to over-perform. Either way, do you think I should use the November test date to improve my reasoning scores or my subject tests’ scores?</p>

<p>any other comments?</p>

<p>nritya, you SAT reasoning score looks good for Georgetown SFS, imo. However, you need all three subject SATs near 780s or better. I think you should register for the subject tests. Good luck, post any updates! Also, what ECs are you mentioning on your app is important. Your essay should be top notch for SFS. my two cents…</p>
