<p>Here's a tentative list of schools requiring SAT Subject Tests. Please note that a number of schools such as Yale or Pomona might accept the ACT in place of the required SAT Subject Tests.

<p>Dartmouth requires the SAT I or the ACT with writing **and ** two SAT II subject tests.</p>
<p>Which standardized tests does Harvard require?</p>
<p>For the Class of 2011, students may submit either the "old" SAT I or ACT taken before March 2005, or the new SAT or ACT (which must include the writing section). Students must also submit three SAT II exams of their choosing. The Admissions Committee will continue to consider all test results in light of students' educational opportunities.</p>
<p>SAT or ACT scores, two SAT Subject Test scores </p>
<p>Williams</p>
<p>All applicants must take either the SAT or the ACT (American College Testing Program exam), plus any two SAT Subject Tests of the applicant's choice. Students taking the ACT must also submit the optional Writing Test.</p>

<p>Please be very careful in using lists like these.</p>
<p>Often, the requirements vary from program to program within a college or university. Also, two doesn't necessarily mean "any two." Some colleges specify particular tests (such as math).</p>
<p>That's why the original list came with a caveat. Lists are mere tools that help seeing the bigger picture, but do not replace the individual analysis of colleges. The main purpose of this list, however, was to remind everyone that there are least 20 schools that REQUIRE two or three SAT Subjects, and that the deadlines to register and take the tests are looming. An application sent without a required test is deemed incomplete, and will be rejected. </p>

<p>xiggi,<br>
some schools[ such as Stanford] say that SAT II's are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED [ i.e. virtually required if you want to be considered]. Should they be added to the list as well? I think it might be more valuable if it includes colleges where SAT II's' are required OR highly recommended.</p>
<p>MPMom, I do not disagree, but the issue is that we might start an endless debate about the degree of the recommendation. Is there a large difference between strongly recommended, highly recommended, or simply recommended? Another category might be "considered" ... which makes it even harder. </p>
<p>I thought it was nice to point the schools where an application is considered imcomplete by the absence of the required tests. This said, I will try to get a list for the schools where the SAT Subject Tests are recommended.</p>
<p>xig, as I well know , and has been pointed out to me by others, no good deed or in this case "list" will go unpunished. Well framed and well placed caveats seem to be ignored as well as carefully qualified statements. The "list" becomes the thing, not the whole post. It is truly an interesting phenomenon for which I do not have an explanation.</p>
<p>I think it's really best to check with the school. For example, some of the schools within Cornell University only require a Math SATII. So this list still has errors in it.</p>
<p>You forgot Stanford. SAT IIs are "strongly recommended" (Math IIc + one of your choice), but you better take them if you want to have a reasonable chance to get in...</p>
<p>bond35 - yes, you should definitely take the ACT with writing, as it can often be substituted for both SAT I + SAT II's -- so then you have a choice as to which to submit. If you don't take the writing part, then with many schools you would have to submit the SAT II scores, and the college board would automatically include SAT I's with that.</p>
