<p>Hello,</p>

<p>Can someone please explain the requirements for SAT Subject Tests? I understand that some schools within Cornell require them as others do not; however, it also stated that for ED a Mathematics Subject Test was required? Is this true?</p>

<ul>
<li>ALSO -</li>
</ul>

<p>Basically, can someone tell me if this is a suitable plan?
I did terribly on my two subject tests (Chem 500, Bio 540)...I really think this would be a hinder on the rest of my application. Do you think I should just retake them in November and apply for Regular Admissions? I wouldn't have time to retake them in October because of the SAT I reasoning test...</p>

<p>OR...</p>

<p>I could take the ACT in September and retake Subject Tests in October, then apply Early Decision?</p>

<p>I haven’t heard anything about needing to take a Math Subject Test to do ED, either.</p>

<p>As to your second question, perhaps I am misinterpreting your options, but it would definitely be better to do the second option if it allows you to both retake the Subject Tests and apply ED. If Cornell is your top choice, then you should definitely apply ED, as doing so will statistically over double your chances.</p>
