<p>I am looking at schools that are mostly test optional (Hampshire, Bennington, etc.), however, some require tests to be submitted to be considered for merit aid (such as Goucher). It appears from the websites that if I submit an ACT score, I don't need any subject test scores. Would they be helpful (subject test scores) in obtaining merit aid from these schools? I'd rather focus on getting a higher score on the ACT and not worry about the Subject Tests. My current ACT composite is a 30.</p>
