<p>If I apply next year with no subject tests, and I apply to a major that doesn't require them, will it hurt my chances?</p>

<p>Only CALS doesn’t require subject tests. The 6 other schools require at least one. </p>

<p>If you are planning on applying to CALS, take a couple subject tests and if you don’t do too well, just don’t send them. </p>

<p>Here are the requirements for each school:

<p>Are you planning to apply as a freshman or are you transferring from another college?</p>

<p>None of the colleges require subject tests for transfer students.</p>

<p>Just got my subject test results today: 740 WH, 720 Math II, 690 Lit (took lit blind for fun). Would sending these scores harm my chances of acceptance more than they would help? I know lit isn’t good, but what about the other two?</p>

<p>The 740 and 720 are definitely acceptable however it would be better to get them both past the 750 mark at least.</p>

<p>Those are great scores. Send them and don’t worry about it.</p>

<p>I agree w/Swimmer726. Your subject tests scores are fine.</p>
