confused about sat/act

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I have always been under the impression that pretty much all schools that want SAT Subject tests would either take a)the SAT Reasoning with Writing + SAT Subject tests OR b)the ACT with writing. </p>

<p>Under these beliefs I had planned to just focus on the ACT with Writing as my Standardized testing for colleges. But last night as I was looking through online information (particularly College Board) I became very confused and worried. It appeared as though colleges such as Cornell, Dartmouth, and Brown want the SAT Reasoning with Writing or the ACT with Writing as a base, and then on top of that it seemed that applicants are required to submit SAT Subject tests (regardless of which other test they submit; ACT or SAT).</p>

<p>So now I am very confused and worried. For these schools do I have to submit SAT Subject tests regardless of my choice between SAT Reasoning and ACT?</p>

<p>OR</p>

<p>Can I choose between a)the SAT Reasoning with writing plus SAT Subject tests and b)the ACT plus writing?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for any help.</p>

<p>you must take: the NEW SAT (w/ writing- out of 2400) + 2 subject tests</p>

<p>OR</p>

<p>the ACT + the writing section + 2 SAT subject tests</p>

<p>yeah buddy. treat the sat reasoning/act test as completley independent from that of the subject tests. you're gonna be taking subject tests, no matter what</p>

<p>You're on the Cornell board. Cornell doesn't require SAT subject tests if you take the ACT.</p>

<p>well it cant hurt if u have high Subject Test scores...just take them anyways in case another college u go to requires them</p>

<p>You need to go to the specific college at Cornell and see the requirements. Somewhere on their website they have a chart that shows all the requirements and some colleges at Cornell most definitely require subject tests not in addition to the ACT or SAT.</p>

<p>For the College of Arts and Sciences, TWO SAT Subject tests are required. </p>

<p>Maybe I was talking to ILR admissions. I thought I was talking to general admissions. Sorry.</p>
