<p>Hi, does harvard (or any other ivy) prefer its applicants take subject tests in multiple areas? For example math, us history and physics. Or can they be all in science/math, ex. math, bio, physics.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I think you should do at least one in the opposite area you're interested, just to show diversity and that you can handle academics outside of your comfort zone. At least that's what I've always been told. For example, I took Biology, US History, and Literature (2 more humanities focused and one science, and I'm an English-type person). But if you think you're going to bomb a non science/math test, then don't risk it, because that won't do any good either</p>
<p>You basically want to take the three on which you'll get the best scores. But 1636 is right; it's an opportunity for a reprieve if you need it. Both my Ds were >100 points lower on SATM than CR and W, so they both did the Math level 1 subject test to have an extra opportunity to post a higher Math number.</p>
<p>Take MathIIC as one of those. It's pretty easy</p>
<p>like gadad said, take the three that you think you'll do the best on. showing "diversity" isn't really important. personally, i think the score that you get on the test is more important than which test you take. i had A's last year in pre-cal, spanish, and history, so I took those and did fine.</p>
<p>Does Harvard give financial aid for summer program?</p>
<p>My child is accepted, but not sure about the fin. aid.

<p>Most schools say they don't care (engineering programs often do care). Nevertheless even though they say they don't care it seemed like a good idea to us to have a non-math, non-science SAT to show that Mathson wasn't totally one sided. Since he was taking APUSH junior year, he took the US History SAT, which is very easy if you've already been studying for the AP. On the whole I think a math (Level 2 if you are in pre-calc), a science, and whatever else floats your boat is a good formula.</p>
