<p>[as related to admissions as a whole...] I'm applying to way too many reachy-reaches, and with my low GPA I definitely need to maximize my testing section. </p>
<p>Which SAT subject test should I take in a few weeks? I'm not really concerned about the specific details of the tests, just which would look better in my profile as a whole. My SAT I score isn't amazing... for schools that allow it, should I just submit my ACT and not even worry about the SAT/Subject Tests at all?</p>
<p>current SAT subject scores:</p>
<p>literature - 800
us history - 760
chemistry - 610</p>
<p>I took all three without studying, which is obviously reflected in the chem score...</p>
<p>In January, I signed up for three more tests.</p>
<p>I definitely plan on taking Spanish and Math II, but I'm really torn between Physics and Chem for the third.</p>
<p>Physics - my favorite subject ever; something that I might study at school/am surprisingly good at; would have to teach myself a few things since I'm only in my first year of AP</p>
<p>Chemistry - one of my least favorite subjects ever; would like to demonstrate that I can handle it despite getting a C in the class last year [an illness really messed up my grades/ap scores, especially in quantitative subjects]; would need to refresh quite a bit</p>
<p>for reference,
GPA - 3.6? 3.5? really terrible second semester junior/first semester senior grades
ACT - 35 [36 Reading, 34 Science, 35 Math, 35 English, 8 essay
SAT - 2270 [790 CR, 720 M, 760 W, 9 essay]</p>
<p>and finally...
APs:
Human Geography - 5
Statistics - 4
World History - 5
US History - 5
English Language - 5
Chemistry - 3
Computer Science - 2</p>
