Hey guys. My family and I are torn about whether I should send all my subject test scores or only my three best. Scores are the following:
Chemistry- 790
US History- 800
French- 780
Literature- 760
I wasn’t thrilled with the Literature score, but my father thinks I should send it in addition to the rest because it could be worse and I want to show that my good grades mean something because I go to a relatively unknown high school in Southeastern Virginia. I’ve taken five AP tests (Human Geography- 5, Chemistry- 5, Psychology- 5, US History- 5, English Language- 5), have about a 4.2 GPA (straight "A"s) and 790 EBRW/770 Math on the regular SAT, want to be a Chemistry major with minors in French and Spanish, and am most likely applying early decision to Wash U in St. Louis, if that any of that changes anything. Thanks to anyone who can give me some advice!
Oh yeah and I got a 8/8/8 on the SAT essay. My typically-stronger English scores are why my mother thinks I shouldn’t send the Literature. I see her point, but a 760 isn’t all that bad (still the 93rd percentile, which is higher than either my Chemistry or French percentile). I’m really torn, though.
send all. Literature is known to be hard(never seen someone with a 800 in literature) so that will help your case.
Yes I agree with waterbrether725. That is a nice lit score.
That is an excellent score for lit (92nd percentile). Definitely send it in
