<p>Hey guys,</p>

<pre><code> Planning to apply to JHU. Sending Scores soon and was wondering if I should send in my SAT 2 Physics Score. These are all my SAT Subject Test results.
</code></pre>

<p>Math Level 2: 800/800</p>

<p>Chemistry : 760/800</p>

<p>Physics : 720/800</p>

<p>Hence, you see that JHU only needs 1 Science and Math test to be sent minimum. So will sending in my physics score actually ruin my score or aid it? Esp. considering applicants most probably have better results.</p>

<p>Also, if anyone knows the score range of JHU students' SAT Subject Score Range, that would really help. </p>

<p>Thank you very much</p>

<p>Have you taken the Physics AP test and gotten a 4/5 on it? If so, then I could see a decent argument for not sending the Physics SAT 2 since you’ve already demonstrated competence in the subject. Otherwise I would just send it. 720 is not a bad score.</p>

<p>JHU doesn’t require the SAT Subjects - send whatever you want.</p>

4

<p>700+ is generally the consensus on mastery of the subject, so yes, send it.</p>

<p>Plus, I would guess the ranges are in the 700s for most of the subjects.</p>

<p>Hopkins does want SAT Subject tests.
[Johns</a> Hopkins University Office of Undergraduate Admissions - Apply - Standardized Test Requirements](<a href=“http://apply.jhu.edu/apply/testreqs.html]Johns”>http://apply.jhu.edu/apply/testreqs.html)</p>

<p>Freshman Applicants
The SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT with Writing Test is required. Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit up to three SAT subject tests.</p>

<p>Is it bad if I’m only taking two subject tests?
Hopkins suggests “up to three,” but I get the impression it’s strongly encouraged to take 3. I really just want to take 2 though. Will it hurt me if I send only 2?</p>

<p>Bump…Anyone have an answer?</p>

<p>Hey. </p>

<p>I checked with admissions and they really do mean it when they say it is “recommended”. They stated that you will never be rejected simply because you had 2 and others submitted 3.</p>

<p>And to hopefully calm you down, do check last year’s decisions thread. You will see quite a handful of successful applicants who did not even submit any SAT 2 scores at all. </p>

<p>But to make a more informed decision, are you applying engineering? Because, for engineering it suggests that one science and math SAT subject score be sent. </p>

<p>Hope that helps.
And if you have any queries, just give the admissions a call! :)</p>

<p>I took Math Level II: 800, Chemistry: 720, and Physics: 610
I sent all of them thinking about the three highly recommended. Was this a bad decision?
I take IB Math HL II and IB Chemistry HL II, but I didn’t take an actual Physics Course (Self-Studied) . The admission officers wouldn’t consider would they?
Also, do they consider how many HL subjects you take? Is it more of an advantage if one takes 4 HL subjects rather than 3? (I take Math, Chemistry, Biology, and Economics HL)</p>
