<p>I have given the following SAT Subject tests:
Maths 1:720
Maths 2:750
Physics: 660</p>
<p>I know that Harvard requires 3 subject tests, but as you can see i only have 2
Anyways i have sent in my application. Will they straightway reject my application or will they accept it?
Since I haven't met their subject tests requirements.</p>
<p>I'd have to say that it would heavily affect your admissions decision, but they are humans. Other aspects of your application would have to be beyond exceptional to make up for it.</p>
<p>i also have math1 and math2 and physics and think that they count as three!!they don't??? this means that we are in a bad position??</p>
<p>they count math1 n math2 as one..anyways...lets forget about it..n best of luck.</p>
<p>To satisfy our application requirements, applicants must take three SAT II Subject Tests and may choose any three subjects, using the following guidelines:</p>
<ul>
<li>The English Language Proficiency Test (ELPT) is not acceptable.</li>
<li>Candidates whose native language is not English should not take an SAT II test in their native language as one of the three required tests.</li>
<li>Candidates who took the Writing (in English) subject test when it was offered (January 2005 or earlier) are strongly encouraged to include the results in their applications.</li>
</ul>
<p>Applicants may wish to convey the breadth of their academic interests by taking tests in different subjects.</p>
<p>so will math1 , math2 & physics count as 3 subject tests or 2 and can toefl substitute a subject test</p>
<p>math 1 and math 2 won't count as different subject tests</p>
<p>you can still take both if you want, but you need to take two others in addition (i.e. math 1, math 2, physics, lit); this will count as three tests</p>
<p>You might still be able to take a SAT II. There is always one in late January, and I don't now if it was yesterday...probably. Check on the College Board site. But if there is still a test date available, I would suggest that a third test with a low score would be better than only taking two tests.</p>
<p>The site clearly states the need to take 3 SAT II's to meet criteria for consideration for admission. Did you just find out that the Math 1 and Math 2 are not considered as two tests? If so, maybe you could talk to admissions and see what could be done.</p>
<p>Unfortunately I found about it today while arguing with my friend...anywezz thanks for the help....ill call the admissions office and tell them about my situation.</p>
<p>It's honestly not that big of a deal. I am sure that it will not weigh heavily upon their decision to accept or reject you, especially if you reported AP scores. Remember, they take a holistic approach. If you have a paucity of subject test scores but a surplus of high AP scores, then they will use the available information to make a reasonable judgment.</p>
<p>dream77 can u post what the adcoms tell you?thanks</p>
<p>Quick Q about SAT2's...</p>
<p>On my common app, I unintentionally put 640 instead of 620 for my Lit exam. They're not gonna think i'm trying to cheat right? I mean it's only 20 pts, it's only the SAT2's, and they get the official reports anyways.</p>
<p>Will it be a big deal for any of the schools? I mean they probably don't even look really at your self reported grades...</p>
<p>I'm almost certain on the CommonApp/Harvard supplement, there is an emphasis on the information you provided being accurate to the best of your knowledge.</p>
<p>Then again, I'm almost certain the admissions committees are human beings and wouldn't mind you sending a letter/notification explaining the discrepancy.</p>
<p>As opposed to perfection obsessed machines that would instead descend upon your home and annihilate you.</p>
<p>no, H and P do not say that they will only accept one or the other.
however, it would obviously be better to show more variety.
i did the same, math 1, 2 and chem. whatever...</p>
<p>I asked about Sat 2 and they replied as
" Applicants may take any three SAT II subject tests. The Admissions Committee has no preference. However, please be aware of the following exceptions:
- Applicants whose first language is not English should not take an SAT II test in their native language as one of their three subject tests.
- The ELPT is not accepted as one of the three required tests.
· Even if you are submitting the results of your school leaving exams (e.g., GCE A levels, International Baccalaureate, etc.), you must submit the results of the SAT I or ACT, and three SAT II Subject Tests.
· Students who do not have access to a testing center in their country are the ONLY exceptions to this policy. If you do not have access to a testing center, we will consider other internationally recognized credentials, such as the results of the Graduate Record Examination. If you take the GRE, please list the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences as a recipient of your score (code number = R3451).
· Please be sure to designate Harvard as a recipient of your test scores. The SAT code number is 3434; the ACT code number is 1840. You may also, if you wish, send your score report with your application.
Harvard does not have clearly defined, required minimum scores; however, the majority of students admitted to the College represent a range of scores from roughly 600 to 800 on each section of the SAT I as well as on each SAT II Subject Tests. We regard tests results as helpful indicators of academic ability and achievement when considered thoughtfully among other factors.</p>
<p>The Admissions Committee understands that international students may not be as familiar with the SAT and ACT formats as American citizens. Nevertheless, international students who distinguish themselves for admission often present the Committee with exceptionally strong standardized testing.
Sincerely,
Harvard College International Admissions</p>
