<p>I'm looking into doing the Honors Program at UD and I noticed online that they recommend subject tests. I took 2 subjects in May but I don't think I did so well so I wasn't going to submit them until I noticed this. How important are subject tests if I want to get into the Honors Program? Would it be a good idea to retake them? I got a 640 for Biology M and a 560 for Chemistry.</p>
<p>What major are you interested in? What were your SAT scores?</p>
<p>I’m interested in the Medical Diagnostics major, and right now I have a 2010: 620 CR, 700 M, and 690 W. I’m taking it one more time in October. </p>
<p>A number of students are accepted into the Honors Program without submitting subject tests. Of course if you do extremely well in them then they likely would improve ones chances. For the class of 2017 the middle 50% of students in the Honors Program had SAT scores of 2040-2200. Your score of 2010 would have put you in the lower 25% of students accepted into the Honors Program. Unfortunately each year the stats are increasing so it is becoming more competitive. IMHO your current SAT subject test scores would probably not be of much benefit to you in a Honors Program decision, especially the Chemistry score, considering that you are applying to a science major. Therefore IMHO I would not submit them unless you take them again and hopefully obtain higher scores. Your current overall SAT score of 2010 would appear to at least give you a shot at the Honors Program, as long as you get great recommendations and write a dynamite honors program essay. IMHO you would have a very good chance of being regularly accepted into the major you are interested in. Just FYI UD primarily looks at SAT M and CR scores. Good luck.</p>
<p>I have a 2160 (720 CR, 690 M, and 750 W), 4.43, top 13%, and am applying tot he honors program for athletic training. I do not have any SAT II’s but I do have a physical therapy internship that I wrote my honors essay about which should hopefully outweigh the SAT II’s. </p>
