SAT II and Colleges Question

Test Preparation
1

<p>I am wondering how much weight colleges like GWU, Harvard, Stanford, etc who require or recommend subject tests, place weight on the tests? If you got a "good" but not "outstanding" SAT score, can an outstanding subject test score compensate for this a little?</p>

<p>Say you get an SAT of 2100... Would Subject test scores of 700+/800 range, strengthen your application and compensate for not getting 2400 SAT?</p>

<p>No. As they may choose which subject tests they will take, most students who apply to HYPMS and other tops have perfect (or almost perfect) SAT II scores. Therefore, SAT I tends to be much more valued.</p>

<p>Go look at the result threads. A 2400 SATII tends to look better than a 2400 SAT1 at some schools.</p>

<p>I would take a 2400SATII 2300SAT1 over a 2250SATII 2400SATI</p>
