Could any Ivy take me without SAT 2?

<p>Is it possible?</p>

<p>Yes, if you take ACT, many do not require subject tests. Read their individual websites.</p>

<p>nova2nola is incorrect. </p>

<p>It depends on the school. Your application to Harvard will be incomplete if you do not submit two SAT 2 Subject tests, even if you have taken the ACT.</p>

<p>You can find a list of Common Application Member requirements here: <a href=“https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/MemberRequirements.aspx[/url]”>https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/MemberRequirements.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I said “many” not all, and told OP to check individual schools’ sites. How is that incorrect???</p>

<p>If you submit ACT to Yale, Brown, or Penn, you don’t need SAT 2’s. But as I said, always check their sites bc they can change their requirements from year to year.</p>

<p>Sorry, I should have said partially incorrect. This part was correct: </p>

<p>But as the OP was specifically asking on the Harvard forum, this part was incorrect:

<p>adam: perhaps you’re at the initial stages of your college planning — I’ll give you that. But your question is so vital that I’m shocked you’d be so carelessly asking it w/o going to the various college websites yourself to check type, deadlines, etc.</p>

<p>SAT2s are critical to some colleges. You just want to accept the guesses/memory of random strangers? Really?</p>

<p>T26E4, I’m a rising senior and an international student. My college planning process is actually in a late stage and since I don’t have access to ACT in my country and decided I don’t want to bother with SAT 2 when I’m already busy with A Levels, I decided I’ll be applying to Stanford, NYU and UChicago and several LACs, but not the Ivies. I was just checking to see whether the Ivies are still insistent on SAT 2. Since they are, I’m still not applying to them. I just don’t get it. WHY?!</p>

<p>Stanford is better than most of the Ivies but it’s not so rigid. :/</p>

<p>Adam- T26E4 is right- check each school’s website- Brown, Penn, and Yale did not require SAT subject tests. Harvard did regardless if a student took the SAT. I don’t know about the other Ivies. I don’t think Stanford or University of Chicago requires subject tests. Each school has the right to change things up in regards to required testing, so the best source is each individual institution.</p>
