Dumb question, but though the Ivies switched over to common app, do they still require the Subject Tests? If so, how does that all work, and what do you recommend I take? I’ve taken Chem, US, and Literature so far.
My recollection is that for Brown, if one submits an ACT score, the SAT subject test scores are not required. If the SAT score is submitted instead, then the SAT subject test scores are also required. But this was the rule from last fall. No telling what the current rule is.
Not any more. Admissions requirements have tended to be revised every year for the past couple of years. The current requirements for Brown and most (but not all) Ivy League schools state that Subject tests are recommended, but are not required.

Always check with the college in question for updated info.
If you are happy with those scores, and not targeting any school/program that requires a math Subject Test, move on. Schools that ask for 2 will look at the top 2; they will not be more impressed with more scores.
@profdad2021 @skieurope Thank you for the info!
Oh wow. I’m gobsmacked. Subject tests are no longer required – that’s quite a change from a policy that dates back to at least the mid 1970s.
