<p>I have heard that there are about 5-7 colleges that unusually require SAT Subject Tests if you choose to submit your ACT score rather than just the SAT, but I have been unable to find a list of which exact colleges require ACT + SAT Subject scores. Does anyone know what these colleges are? Any other info regarding whether to choose to send Subject scores along with ACT scores even if the school only requires ACT scores and sending the subject scores may be more redundant then helpful to your app (ex. sending Bio SATII if already sending AP Bio score) would be much appreciated?</p>
<p>I know that MIT requires both the ACT and two Subject Tests, but I doubt that this is unusual. I think it’s rare for colleges to accept just the ACT. Also, send both scores only if the one that isn’t required improves your application: if it’s nearly the same, then its redundant; and if it’s lower, then there is no reason to send.</p>
<p>I have found that it seems pretty uncommon for a school to require you to send the SATII scores if you choose to send the ACT, but it makes sense that MIT makes you do that given the technology part of it…</p>
<p>^MIT requires either the SAT or ACT, plus a math and science subject test.</p>
<p>Update: Most of the Ivy’s recommend if not require subject tests along with the act as well, depending on the specific college you are applying to (i.e. Cornell’s arts&sciences requires them w/ act and sat, but their agricultural school does not)</p>
