<p>I was just curious...If the school you want to apply to reccomends you take SAT II subject tests, should you take them? Will it give you a better chance of admission? Or does it not matter either way?
Schools such as Johns Hopkins and Northwestern reccomend you do and some will consider them. I guess it depends on how well you do..but what if you do really bad? Do you have to send in your scores?
I would be going in for a Music/Journalism program, so it's not like i'm going into a specific field. Just wondering if it would influence my chances.</p>
<p>buuummmpppp</p>
<p>Recommended = highly desired = do it just to be safe</p>
<p>If the school recommends it, it means it would really prefer that you take it otherwise you'll be put at a disadvantage when compared with the other applicants in the great pool of admissions..</p>
<p>It would be an excellent idea to take them, especially for JHU. If you do really bad you can choose to not report them.</p>
<p>You're likely applying to at least one school that requires them so take them anyways.</p>
