Subject Tests

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>I took four subject tests, even though Yale only requires three. On the first three (US History, Literature, and World History) I got a 790, 760, and 790, respectively. However, on the last (Spanish), I got a 590. I am midway through my third year of Spanish, a class in which I have frankly been very disappointed since I have learned almost nothing new in it. As a result, I felt very unprepared for the test.</p>

<p>How much will this hurt my chances?</p>

<p>EDIT: I had designated Yale as one of the schools to which the College Board would immediately send my scores. By the time I found out about my Spanish score, it had already been sent.</p>

<p>That's fine don't worry. Unless you say your majoring in Spanish- it won't work against you at all.</p>

<p>Ha...no. I'll probably end up majoring in Psychology or History.</p>

<p>Thanks. You've stilled my panicking heart.</p>

<p>yeah, Yale is two, not three...dewai</p>

<p>I think 590 is actually pretty impressive if you haven't even completed level three. o.O Most of the kids who take it are in AP Lang or even Lit.</p>

<p>Also, it won't affect you too much, given your other scores, so don't worry about it.</p>

<p>Your other scores are nice.</p>

<p>I actually know a kid that's at Yale now that got a similar score in Spanish, AND sent it accidentally.</p>

<p>Also, I think at any school, unless you're amazing well accomplished/dedicated in a certain field, a declared major in that field wouldn't really be relevant to the adcom as so many students alter or completely change majors.</p>
