<p>My son is struggling a bit with the SAT subject tests. I think he has a 700 in World Hx, 720 in math2 and 680 in US Hx. He has a chance to take new tests or retake math in the fall.</p>
<p>His ACT composite is 34. </p>
<p>If he applies SCEA to Stanford, should he submit those scores or just leave them out.</p>
<p>Your advice is appreciated.</p>
<p>Well… Stanford says that the Subject tests are recommended but not required. If you live in a country where the SAT Subject tests are available I don’t think it’ll look too good if he doesn’t submit them. They say it won’t put you at a disadvantage but, in reality, it just might, particularly if he’s applying SCEA when the application pool is even stronger. I would suggest retaking the subject tests and maybe applying RD.</p>
<p>My SATII’s were 780 Math2, 770 World, 660 Physics. I also had a 34 composite and I decided not to send my SAT’s to Stanford and Yale. I was accepted to Stanford and Yale and rejected from Harvard and Princeton. Maybe it had something to do with the SAT/SATII’s, maybe not. Who knows.</p>
<p>If he didn’t retake those SAT II scores, I don’t think it would hurt him much–what he has is already very good.</p>
<p>Thanks, all, for this info. I am glad to hear of someone who actually applied without those SAT IIs. </p>
<p>Ilpitch, did you apply SCEA to either Stanford or Yale?</p>
<p>No I RD’ed to both.</p>
