<p>Considering SAT subject tests cannot even be evaluated in UIUC’s admissions process, they should probably be omitted from the skeleton. Could you please do this Haruhi?</p>
<p>I decided to leave this on because I wanted applicants to see the overall picture of each individual that applied to this school, even though SAT Subject Tests are not considered. They’re kind of obsolete, but still sort of a measure that people can compare GPA (grade inflation or deflation) with a test that is administered on a national level. </p>
