<p>^I would never recommend not taking the SAT subject tests when they are required, but I agree that most college admissions committees are capable of figuring that that 5s on the equivalent APs are a reasonable substitute. I also agree that a dual major art student is attractive in his own right.</p>
<p>Plus from what I hear, it is way harder to get a 5 on an AP test than an 800 on the SAT II. I know kids that got 4’s on chem and an 800. so a 5 is just that much more. But maybe it is only that way for certain exams.</p>
