Hello! I applied to Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science as college #1 and the College of Engineering as college #2. I looked on their website and here are the recommended SAT Subject Tests for each college:
School of Computer Science:
Math Level II
Physics, Chemistry, or Biology
College of Engineering
Math Level II
Physics or Chemistry
I have taken the Physics, Chemistry, and Biology tests, but I only did well enough on the Biology test (I do well in classes, but not necessarily on exams because I’m not the best test taker).
If I send scores to Carnegie Mellon, would it be fine if I just sent Math II and Biology to cover the subject test recommendations for both colleges, or should I send an additional Physics or Chemistry score because the College of Engineering does not specifically recommend Biology?
I feel that my Physics and Chemistry scores do not accurately reflect my knowledge on those subjects, and the scores are relatively low, so I am wary to send those out. However, if I only send out Biology along with Math II, I’m also worried that CMU will think that I’m trying to hide something and would count that against me in admissions.
I would really appreciate it if any of you could offer insight! Thank you!
