SAT Subject Test Dilemma!!!

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>Hello everyone, I am applying to high tier schools such as Harvard and Princeton, who both require 2 subject tests. I took them in May and received: Math ll (800), US History (680), and Biology M (630).</p>

<p>Will my chances of being accepted be reduced significantly because of a lower test socre? How much does subject tests weigh in with their admissions process, considering that I have excellent EC's/community service, top 1% of my class, and high ACT scores (33-34) + stellar rec letters/essays/interview? Should I retake the tests on Oct. 6 (in like two weeks, with virtually no practice at all)? Thanks!</p>

<p>You definitely should take Bio one.</p>

<p>Yeah, try to get above a 700 or 750 on bio. What’re you majoring in?</p>

4

<p>Biochemistry or biomedical engineering. I just don’t know if I have enough time to study before EA to Harvard. Will my subject tests bring me down? I heard that the only one that really matters is Math ll. your thoughts?</p>

<p>Well… since you’re majoring in biochem / biomed, then biology is really important, especially since you’re applying to Ivy League schools.</p>
