SAT Subject Tests for Texas Engineering

[Bruhhhhhh]

I am planning on applying to UT and A&M for engineering and even though subject tests are not required or even recommended for admission, I was wondering if they would be at least be considered during the admissions process. I am planning on taking a Physics subject test and possibly a Math II test, but I am unsure of whether or not this will help my chances. Anyone who knows if they consider subject tests or if anyone has any information please comment.

SAT SUBJECT TESTS

Applicants do not have to submit SAT Subject Test scores as part of the admissions application. However, some applicants choose to do so in hopes of attaining credit for required coursework. When we receive SAT Subject Test scores from a high school student, we set them aside until the application cycle is complete. If an applicant is admitted, credit is given for SAT Subject Tests based on established guidelines.

http://ctl.utexas.edu/studenttesting/exams?field_subject_area_tid=All&field_exam_type_tid=5&combine= does show that some SAT subject scores can be used for placement (presumably without needing to take the usual placement tests).
