should I send this score?

<p>This question is different from the others I've asked.</p>

<p>Again, my SAT history:</p>

<p>SAT I 2400 superscored.
CR: 760, 720 and then 800 (Oct 07)
SAT II: 2400, Math2 Phy Chem single sitting</p>

<p>I'm a pure science student, no humanities or literature in last 2-4 years.</p>

<p>Do I have anything to worry about if I send a relatively bad SAT II Lit score (Jan 2008) in addition to the above? After all, I have three good SAT IIs, but all in science. I know that they see all my SAT IIs, but is it true that they'd only consider my highest SAT IIs? How do colleges choose which scores to consider? Would they give priority to the higher SAT IIs?</p>

<p>Since I already have 800s in 3 SAT IIs, would sending any score below 800, whether 680 or 780, for Literature make any difference, good or bad? i.e. Would you say I can safely send a 200 Lit score since I already have three great SAT IIs?</p>

<p>I'm estimating my Lit to be around 650-700s. What is the lowest Lit score I can send, in my situation as a sci student and with my score history, before it begins to hurt my chances?</p>

<p>I wouldn't worry about your lit score considering how well you've done on your other SAT II's. I know someone who got into Harvard last year who was in a similar situation.</p>

<p>CR and Lit seemed very similar to me, and I got 800 on both, so if you can manage a high score on one, you should be able to do the same on the other. I'd go for it and send whatever you get. You already have high SAT IIs, and taking Lit could only help you.</p>
