Subject tests and Applying ED in November

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>If I want to apply ED (I think November 1) to Upenn, is the November subject test date too late?</p>

<p>If it is, which three tests should I take in October?</p>

<p>Math 2
Physics
Biology M
Literature</p>

<p>I'm comfortable with all of them and I know math is a must so that leaves 2 left...</p>

<p>Literature shows diversity (hopefully shows I'm not a typical Asian who is good with math and that's it)</p>

<p>My physics teacher wrote me a letter of recommendation so I thought maybe physics...</p>

<p>But I really like biology and probably will do something with medicine... So biology?</p>

<p>Once again, I think I'll do well on all of them.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>who ever said math was a must? unless youre applying to wharton…it really isnt.</p>

3

<p>BUT i would say take the subjects you’re confident in. Don’t take literature if you’re not sure you can do well on it only because it shows diversity…you can show diversity in other ways on your application besides your choice of subject tests.</p>

<p>Ok thanks.</p>

5

<p>Is the November date too late though? Does anyone know?</p>

6

<p>according to some colleges ive looked at (i THINK)…their websites say that EA/ED decisions are based off of your freshman, sophomore, and junior years…so there is no need to rush your test scores. I BELIEVE some say that you can even take the January SATs.</p>

<p>im almost positive november is too late for most ea/ed. but thats only what ive heard.</p>

8

<p>if i were you, i would take math, physics and lit. shows you are good at both sciences and humanities :slight_smile:
anw, i alr took 2 maths and 1 chem yesterday and i’m definitely a typical Asian, haha</p>

<p>btw, i also wanna ask: although schools usually require only 3 subjects. but what if i send them 4? or even more?</p>

9

<p>^harvard princeton and georgetown require 3, most other require 2</p>

10

<p>but what if i send them 4,5,6?</p>

11

<p>i have the same question as you</p>

12

<p>UPenn says November is the last month to take them for ED, but they recommend you rush your scores if you do.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone</p>
