<p>That's what Rice says about SAT Subject Tests, but I didn't really know what was related to Economics, except mathematics.</p>
<p>Would it hurt my chances if I did something unrelated? I did Spanish, because I knew I'd be strong in that, and I couldn't really see how anything else would be related to economics.</p>
<p>What did the rest of you do?</p>
<p>I took math and history, even though now my proposed major is literature. I know there's a Literature SAT II, but I feel it's inherently flawed, so I didn't take it. Hopefully they'll pay attention to my CR and Writing scores on the SAT and ACT and realize that I'm great at English.</p>
<p>I am looking most likely towards Econ, and I did Math II and US History(and also Physics).</p>
<p>That's the beauty of going into engineering - the answer to this is very simple: Math and Science :D</p>
<p>^Or the natural sciences - I did chemistry (often called the central science) and math.</p>
<p>Let's see, for economics, Rice *recommends<a href="not%20requires">/I</a> two subjects related to your proposed area of study. Math would definitely be related since the economics major requires a lot of math. I don't think anything else is closely related to economics, so you're probably fine with Spanish. Besides, it could really help your chances if your score is high.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>It is high (790), but I feel like such a cheater, being that I'm fluent in it... so actually, I should have really gotten that 800. Can't say that for Math2, though.</p>
<p>Chemistry is really just a branch of Physics :-)</p>
<p>Nah, I think it would have to be the other way around. :D</p>
<p>The related to proposed area of study bit is kinda loose. I think I took math and history, coming in as an undeclared social science major.</p>
<p>You know freespirit, did you use Brown, LeMay and Bursten as AP Chem textbook???</p>
<p>No, we used Whitten, Davis and Peck, which stated that chemistry is called the central science, and my liking chemistry better than physics probably makes me a little biased when determining which is the broader science. I'm sure your textbook might have said that chemistry is just a branch of physics, but hey, everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion.</p>
<p>Happy New Year!</p>
<p>don't university not like it when you take a subject test in your native language?</p>
<p>i need to sign up for subject tests soon and i need to figure out which ones to take. i was originally going to do us history and world history, but they are on different dates and i want to leave a date open if i need to take the sat reasoning test again. i almost definitely want to major in sociology, and potentially double major in either history or cognitive sciences (although as of now i am leaning towards cognitive science). obviously the history sat ii’s would look good for history, but what about cognitive sciences?
rice is my top choice, but, alas, it is a reach. other schools i’m interested in require a math subject test (carnegie mellon (another reach!!)) so would it be safe to do, say, math 1 and a test of my choice?</p>
