<p>So I totally screwed up two SAT Subject Tests, getting a 690 in Literature and a 630 in Math II. I've already decided that I'm not going to report the 630, but I'm still undecided about the Literature score. I'm applying to Duke, Georgetown, Brown, UPenn and a few other colleges that prefer to see 700+, but do 10 points below a 700 really make that much of a difference? </p>
<p>Also, not sure if this makes a difference, but I scored a 2090 on my SAT (670 critical reading, 660 math, 760 writing) and a 31 on my ACT.</p>
<p>I would def try to retake (if you have time) and bring it up. Ideally you would want 720+ maybe to get into the colleges you are looking at. Conversely, if your GPA is eggcellent and your EC’s are pretty strong, and strong essays and everything then it could cancel out but these schools cut a lot of people. Sat ok strong, maybe bring it up to 2100+(if possible)</p>
<p>Bottom line: Don’t give them a reason to cut you. I know kids with amazing GPAs and SATs that didnt get in or got wailisted (EA so far). But Depending on your other stats, you may have a chance. I wouldn’t report it unless 3 tests are necessary for college</p>
<p>good luck! I hope you get in! Those are quite amazing colleges</p>
<p>I got a 690 in Literature too. Yup, I sent it. Those aren’t your only subject test scores though, right? Because Brown requires 2 Subject Tests along with the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT. Are you sending everything?</p>
<p>@kat2015, unfortunately, I’m applying this year, so I have no time to re-take any exams. =(</p>
<p>@kitkat383838 They are my only two. =( Hypothetically speaking, if i were to never send those two subject tests (even though Brown requires all test scores), would they find out?</p>
<p>I think you can assume they would. I can’t wish you well there if you are planning to begin your career with an act of academic dishonesty. Next you will be the guy at Harvard emailing in the bomb threat, I guess.</p>
<p>if a college requires all scores,send them all. Plz don’t be dishonest; that never leads anywhere good. Bu if it isn’t required to send all, I wouldn’t</p>
<p>Does Brown allow the Score Choice option for reporting SAT results?
We automatically focus on your highest test scores and therefore Score Choice is a bit redundant. With Score Choice, it is very important that you have the SAT Critical Reasoning tests and two SAT Subject Tests results available to us when we begin reading completed Early Decision applications in December. You must not wait to see December or January test results before making your score choices.</p>
<p>We will consider test results from the December and January SAT exams as those scores will reach us in time for us to see them before our final decisions are made in late March.

<p>That comes straight from Brown’s website. So they don’t technically care about Score Choice; you just need to have two subject tests along with your SAT. Therefore, you really need to submit both of your scores. OR you could simply choose not to send your SAT scores at all and just go with the ACT score.</p>
<p>The vast majority of unhooked acceptances to the Ivies have scores in the mid-750’s, so anything less than that will not help. Neither will your 31. You are below theirs medians for the unhooked.</p>
