Can I still get accepted?

[TheIntegration]

<p>Being stupid, I just recently found out that the UC’s I’m looking at require subject tests for engineering. I really don’t want to spend another 100 or so dollars on subject tests, so I was wondering if I can still get accepted into these schools of engineering? Would they even look at my application, if I didn’t take them?</p>

<p>By the way I passed the Calculus AB exam and more than likely will pass the BC exam. I would like to think that I will pass my chemistry exam this year too. Can these scores equate the value of the subjects tests that I didn’t take? </p>

<p>Or should I just start looking at CSUs…</p>

<p>Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>From the UC website:

Remember, these are recommendations, not mandates. You will not be penalized for failing to take the SAT Subject Tests. On the other hand, submission of these test scores (just like submission of AP and/or IB scores) may add positively to the review of your application.

If you are a senior, the AP scores would not be available before admissions decisions, so you only have your calc AB score to show. BTW, 2 subject tests are $58.00, not “100 or so.” </p>
