@TTdd16 “Interesting that the article directly contradicts those here that say “recommended” subject tests actually mean “required,” unless you’re low income and can’t afford them.”
I don’t read it that way. The standard cc: advice is that you should consider them required unless there is a clear reason not to care, such as you are going to be their star quarterback, etc. That is because with single digit admit rates at top schools, you need to present yourself as the strongest candidate possible. Not taking subject tests is a missed opportunity.
@captusica “…Ivies barely give any credit for a limited number of AP scores of 5”
That is not entirely accurate. D got credit for 7 classes at Penn through 5’s on APs, and testing out of others. She could have chosen to be done in three years.
