Subject Tests

<p>okay so #1- does pton require 2 or 3 sat iis?
and #2- do they look down on all perfect scores?
and #3- does diversified sat iis look better than more similar scores even if the scores are a little lower?</p>

<p>well anyways, here are my scores. do they seem typical, higher than average, or lower?? i really have no idea...nobody got into pton from my school this year (which usually accepts 2-3 so im getting nervous...)</p>

<p>math 2: 800
bio-m: 790
french: 780
us history: 760 (i don't plan on sending this)</p>

<ol>
<li>They require 3</li>
<li>why would they look down on all perfect scores?</li>
<li>Uh, well, im not sure, but i took math, physics, and chem, and did fine.</li>
</ol>

<p>Your scores are fine for princeton =), very nice.</p>

<p>okay thanks for the answers....</p>

<p>about #2, i heard that some schools (columbia esp.) look down on "perfect everything." idk. i guess it doesnt hold for pton hahhah.</p>

<p>You're Subject Test scores are amazing. Worry about other parts of your application.</p>

<p>You said you don't plan on sending US History? Don't they have to send all of your scores? I think US History would help you: it's a different subject and yet you still performed very well. Don't worry at all about it :).</p>

<p>Whatever you heard about schools looking down on perfect scores is just plain wrong, whether it's at Princeton, Columbia, or anywhere else. Myths like this spread when a student with perfect stats doesn't get into a top school. The reason these students don't get in is because their EC's aren't up to snuff, and they don't have the awards and other qualifications that those who get admitted solely on the basis of academics have. I chose to take US History for my third SAT II (instead of taking another science) to show breadth, but I'm not sure if it made a difference. Princeton will see all of your scores anyway, so it doesn't really matter.</p>
