<p>My philosophy is to be honest. At least you don't win on the high SAT scores, you win in honesty. But honestly, they see all the scores anyway. If a school accepts you, then you go to that college.
Would it make you feel any better If I tell you that somebody got into MIT with a verbal score in 500 for SAT 1, which is more important than SAT subject test? How do we know? His wife told us.
But ultimately it's your decision.</p>
<p>I can see what you're saying... but I don't understand how not self-reporting scores would be considered dishonest, when they only want two SAT IIs anyways. My question was mainly how would a 690 in Literature look in lieu of my other scores.</p>
<p>Thanks for the feedback, though.</p>
<p>how about a 680 in math IIC? for the UCs, Vanderbilt and Rochester. (to the OP: not trying to hijack your thread)</p>
<p>I was not trying to say not reporting is dishonest. Sorry if it came across as such. I think 690 in lit is a lot better than 750 in Math and 750 in your native language. I'm more impressed with 690 in literature. Lots of kids have high Math II scores, so it's not unusual nor impressive to have 750. I would expect you to have 800 in your native score, so the fact that you received less than perfect is not impressive. I mean I expect Spanish people to score 800. My D best friend scored 800 in Spanish and she was born here with Mexican parents. The fact that lit is a difficult subject for even native English speakers and you score near 700 is more impressive.
But it's your choice. I think it actually might help you rather than hurting you.</p>
<p>I forgot to mention that if you apply to UC, use your 2 highest SAT scores. But for other private schools, it's up to you.</p>
