<p>My understanding is that if you took the ACT Plus Writing, you don't necessarily need to take SAT Subject Tests.
But I wasn't aware of this fact so I did take 2 SAT subject tests. Will colleges look at this in a good way? ACT+Writing+2 Subject tests.
My one worry is that I'm more inclined towards English and fine arts but I took Physics and Math II Subject tests, none of which are in my general interest.
Should I take one more subject test next fall such as Literature or US History, or should I just let it be since I don't necessarily need the SAT Subject Tests anyway?
I'll list my stats below so you guys can get a better idea of my situation.
ACT Composite: 34 ACT Writing score: 12<br>
English: 35
Math: 35
Reading: 31
Science: 34 </p>
<p>SAT Physics: 740
SAT Math II: 800</p>
<p>Please let me know what I should do. Thank you everyone!</p>
<p>Some colleges do require the subject tests no matter what. I’m not sure about the specifics of an English major and whether or not it is necessary to take an English subject test. However, all of your scores are high enough to make you a very competitive applicant at any college.</p>
<p>There are exactly 29 colleges that require subject tests, and all of them require only two. </p>
<p>18 of those accept the ACT in lieu of both the SAT and SAT subject tests:</p>
<p>Amherst
Barnard
Boston C
Brown
Bryn Mawr
Columbia
Duke
Haverford
McGill
Pomona
Rice
Swarthmore
Tufts
Penn
Vassar
Wellesley
Wesleyan (and writing in ACT not required)
Yale</p>
<p>The remaining 11 require two subject tests regardless of whether you submit SAT or ACT:</p>
<p>Caltech
Carnegie Mellon
Cornell
Dartmouth
Franklin Olin College of Engineering
Harvard
Harvey Mudd
MIT
Princeton
Webb Institute
Williams</p>
<p>Note there also a number of colleges that recommend but do not require subject tests; they recommend two, except Georgetown and Johns Hopkins recommend three, and subject tests are recommended regardless of whether you submit SAT or ACT.</p>
<p>Personal view: you should cease taking tests unless you plan to apply to Georgetown or Hopkins</p>
<p>you guys think so? These are some of the colleges I’m thinking of applying to:
Stanford
Pomona
Amherst
Princeton
Columbia
University of Chicago
UC Berkeley
Northwestern
Brown</p>
<p>I know it’s very hard to tell this only with my test scores, but I guess what I want to know is if my test scores will be a hindrance in applying to these colleges. I just thought that showing diversity in my sat subject tests (humanities and mathematics) would be good, but do you guys think I should just stick with the current scores?</p>
<p>I say if you can do well without spending much of your valuable time studying for tests you don’t need, it looks good.
-someone who decided to take Lit three days before and got 800 XD</p>
<p>I asked cause I was curious if the colleges look at the diversity of the subject tests. Also, I was wondering if it’s better to have three subject tests compared to two.
Thank you all for helpful answers?</p>
