<p>Okay, I have a dilemma. I'd like to retake my SAT. I've taken it twice, but my math score is making me worried.
my best is cr:780 m:640 w:730 so, 2150
SATII: lit:740 UShistory:750 </p>
<p>The problem is, I'd like to apply EA to possibly UChicago, maybe Georgetown or maybe ED to Hopkins. I'm not a math/science person whatsoever. I'm a humanities girl, through and through. Interested in political science or writing. </p>
<p>my question is, should I take my SAT's for a third time this October? should I take another SATII instead because Georgetown requires three and Hopkins encourages three? Will schools hold a poor math score against someone potentially applying for a creative writing major, like myself?</p>
<p>If there's another SAT II you can prepare for and that you think you'd do well on, take the SAT II.</p>
<p>2150 is a fine score. It won't help you get into any of those schools, but if you show with the rest of your app that your interests are strong, they just lie elsewhere, it won't hurt you, either.</p>
<p>I wouldn't retake. If you've taken it three times, and if you didn't study a ton over the summer, the math score probably isn't going up a ton. 2150 is still great, and 780 on reading is especially impressive considering your interests. Although 640 is very weak compared to those school's averages, it shouldn't keep you out if you have everything else going for you. </p>
<p>You should absolutely take another SAT 2 if you're sure you want to apply to Georgetown and JHU. Maybe whatever science/language you most recently took. </p>
<p>P.S. Congrats on those SAT 2 scores--I'm a hardcore humanities person too and I only got 710 and 690. I also only got a 660 on math, with 770 and 730 on writing and reading. Don't let all the brilliant math folks on here scare you with their 800s--schools are looking for somebody who will make an academic contribution and will take advantage of the educational opportunities presented, and if it's clear that you will largely be staying away from math, it would be ridiculous of them to keep you out based on one section of one test score; contrary to popular belief, they don't want robots (no offense to the 2400 people). Because you like writing so much, it shouldn't be too hard to let your interests and enthusiasm shine through in your essays, and if you do that, you should have good a shot as anyone.</p>
