<p>Is cornell like the other elite ivy's that require 3 SAT II's as opposed to the UC requirement of only 2?</p>

<p>Depends on what you're going into.</p>

<p>wait, last time i could remember, yale doesn't require 3 SAT II's, and doesn't even require them for that matter! for, if you take the ACT, you're completely exempt from the subject test requirements.</p>

<p>Time to learn your first lesson about Cornell:</p>

<p>Practically everything differs depending on which of Cornell's seven undergraduate colleges you are in (or are applying for).</p>

<p>As that chart kyledavid80 provided shows, each of the seven colleges has its own SAT Subject Test requirements. None require three tests, but some do specify which tests they require. And taking the ACT does not exempt you from SAT Subject Tests.</p>

<p>So if your applying to AEM, since it is in agriculture and life sciences, do you really need both a math and a science?</p>

6

<p>thats what it says buddy ..</p>

7

<p>if im applying to AEM and i have taken more than 3 SAT 2's and my science score is the lowest, will they still consider my science score or only look at the other 3 which are much much better?</p>

8

<p>taking the ACT DOES exempt you from taking any subject tests--if you apply to ILR!</p>

<p>So recommended means it's required? (both math and science for AEM)?</p>

<p>What if I'm applying undeclared?</p>

11

<p>Since you cannot apply undeclared -- you must apply to a specific college at Cornell, and this year you can actually apply to two -- if you apply undeclared they won't even read your ap.</p>

<p>Time to do a little research on Cornell. Try cornell.edu -- lots of info there!</p>

<p>Thanks for telling me. How hard is the sociology department hard to get into? Also, you said that this year you can actually apply to two. Does that mean you'd have to write double the amount of essays?</p>

<p>As far as I know, it depends upon which school you are applying to. I believe some do require three, and others simply "recommend" three. You have to check with the college you're applying to in order to know definitively.</p>
