<p>I am a rising senior and I plan on applying to Virginia Tech, UVa, Georgia Tech, and other schools like those (for engineering). I have a 4.0 weighted gpa, at the end of this year I had 5 ap classes, and I am signed up for 5 more and a dual enrollment (multivariable) next year. Now for the question: If I have a sat score of 660 critical reading, 760 math, and 730 writing (2150), should I take subject tests in the fall or try to bring up that critical reading score? Also, any other schools I should think about applying to?(I live in Virginia, so east coast would be preferable) Thank you so much in advance!</p>
<p>I think you could make it to GA tech with those stats, SAT is average for there and as for subject tests I don’t think those matter as much</p>
<p>Thanks. Georgia Tech is my top choice right now. But should I take subject test or try to get a higher sat?</p>
<p>I’d say higher sat</p>
<p>Ok thanks. If anyone else has a different opinion please let me know(with a reason) . As well as other places to apply.</p>
<p>Are you applying early to any?</p>
<p>If I do it will only be the ones that aren’t binding.</p>
<p>If you’re applying early, I think you should just focus on your subject tests. Your SAT 1 scores are really not that bad, and the last thing you want to do is rush everything else just to retake your SATs</p>
<p>What does your own guidance counselor suggest? If your school has NAVIANCE, your counselor should be able to plug your grades and test scores into it, and show you whether admissions at the places on your list are likely.</p>
<p>Talk with your parents about paying for college. The out-of-state places may not be affordable.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone, I think I’ll take subject tests in October and depending on how those go either take them again in November or take the sat again, then I will apply regular descion. (from what I have seen it doesn’t make much of a difference one way or another)</p>
