<p>Currently Stanford only 'recommends' Subject Tests, but doesn't 'require' them. But of course all of you already know that. Still, that begs an important question: Does Stanford accept individuals who don't submit Subject Test scores; or, in other words, is the submission of Subject Tests truly optional? Indeed, is anyone aware of a case in which someone was accepted to Stanford without submitting Subject Test scores? Thanks for your time.</p>
<p>It is highly, highly recommended that you take Subject Tests.</p>
<p>I don't know of any instance where someone was accepted without them, even when their ecs could have made up for it.</p>
<p>95% of accepted students submit SAT IIs. Draw your own conclusions on your chances without...</p>
<p>nngmm, that's a deceptive statistic. It only means anything if you know what percentage of applicants submit SAT IIs. Does anyone have that number?</p>
<p>Nonetheless, if they say "recommended", it's probably a very, very good idea to submit them.</p>
<p>I feel as though I have answered this question time and time again, but I will do so again:
I was accepted and will be attending Stanford in the class of 2012. I sent in ONLY my ACT scores. I sent no SAT I or SAT II scores whatsoever. Furthermore, in general, the schools to which I sent my ACT score only I got into and those to which I sent ACT and SAT I and II either rejected or waitlisted me. Of course, standardized tests are DEFINITELY NOT the only determining factor of admissions, so take this one example with a grain of salt. In general, I would recommend sending all test scores that are within the top portion of a school's reported 25%-75% range.</p>
<p>Take them. I talked to an adcom before I applied because I wasn't sure if I should take them and she said that bad subject test scores aren't likely to affect your chances of admission. Good subject test scores, however, add to your application's strength and demonstrate more of your knowledge. Plus, if you plan on applying to other top schools you will have to take them.</p>
<p>my friend got in with a 32 on ACT and no SAT subject tests or anything..no lie i saw the letter</p>
<p>Who got in ty?</p>
<p>would it make a difference if someone were to only submit the act during early admission?</p>
