<p>UVA is my 1st choice school and i'm currently finishing up my application. For all my other colleges they offer the choice of ACT + writing, or the SAT + 2 Subject tests. I did very well on my ACT so i thought i was all set to go. I just checked the UVA website and it says that subject tests are still recommended even if your sending ACTs. My Subject tests were painfully low (as in 650 and 630) i never retook them because i assumed since I was just going to use my ACT, that i wouldn't need them. Should i still send them even if though they are much lower than my other grades? or would it be smarter to just ignore their recommendation. UVA is my favorite school so i really don't want to run any risks! HELPPP PLEASEE!</p>
<p>they are RECOMMENDED but not required. But it depends on which tests they are and what you are going to major in. You should probably talk to you counselor or a teacher.</p>
<p>btw, would you mind checking my essays?</p>
<p>the tests i took were SAT II US HIstory, SAT II level II Math. I was planning on going into behavioral psych so neither SAT corresponds all that much. I would’ve taken the SAT II BIology but im only taking AP BIO now. and send on your essays, i’d be happy to help!
thanks!</p>
<p>You can still retake SAT Subject tests on January 23. The January SAT late registration deadline has been extended to 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time), Friday, January 8, 2010.
As you are submitting your application close to the deadline of Jan 1, you have a good chance that UVA will receive your scores before they wll get to review your application. I know it says on their website that January tests are not recommended, but I personally know people who were accepted with January Subject Tests.</p>
<p>It’s just a thought, especially it’s your first choice.</p>
<p>There is no way to know if an app will be read before or after January scores arrive. The scores from that test date aren’t ready until mid-February. There is a chance the first/second read will be done by then. </p>
<p>The scores would be in the file in time for later rounds of our reading process.</p>
