On a discussion about subject tests for University of Pennsylvania @MiamiBoy2016 wrote "I attended an admissions session at Penn on Thursday, and Amy Smith, one of the admissions officers, said that Penn was changing it Subject Test requirement policy. It now RECOMMENDS that students submit 2 Subject Tests, but no longer requires it. However, she said that although score choice will still not be allowed, since they only recommend it now she doesn’t know what her department is going to do yet.She said information on the testing page of the Penn website will be updated soon to state the new Subject Test policy "
Obviously, it’s not official until the website is updated but there seems to be a trend away from requiring SAT subject tests and toward recommending them.
