Hi, so I am intending to apply as a first year student to a extremely selective university and I have questions regarding SAT subject tests policies. The school recommends sending SAT scores, but not required (although, due to the selectivity, sending is probably crucial to the application). I have never taken any SAT tests before. However, I have read instructions were it says to send SAT Subject Tests or the ACT with Writing. Does this mean that subject tests and ACT writing have the same value in the application process (meaning I do not have to bother taking subject tests because I intend to apply early action)?
