<p>When colleges look at Spanish (or any other language) subject test scores, do they take into account whether Spanish is your native language? Do they give more credence to a less than perfect score when they know that you are not a native speaker?</p>
<p>I was also wondering this. Like, particularly for an Ivy, do they think that you took the "easy" route if you are a native Spanish speaker and Spanish was one of your tests?</p>
<p>I think yes if a language is not your first lang. and you take it that is good. Also I think colleges see it as bad or don't really care if you can speak that lang. and get like 800s... ie Chinese.</p>
<p>I mean, I think it's great to have an 800, but not as great as a 700+ for a non-native speaker.</p>
<p>All the admissions people that I have spoken to (Ivy League, Stanford, Georgetown etc.) say that if it is your native language, or you are bilingual, they will not use the SAT subject test as evidence of FOREIGN language study.</p>
