<p>If you are either an athlete or URM, you may want to consider applying ED anyway, as long as you have other strengths in your application.</p>
<p>I’ve only taken the ACT so far and I plan to apply ED. I’ve already signed up for my subject test dates AFTER I submit my Penn application (just so I don’t have to worry about it during the application process).</p>
<p>Will they hold it against me if I don’t submit them? As in, will they suspect I am with-holding SAT scores? I was unwilling to take the SAT because I performed very well when I took the ACT practice test, compared to my relatively low PSAT scores, but now I’m concerned that they’ll just think I didn’t want to turn them in or something.</p>
<p>^
Whats the point in taking the subject tests than? For your RD schools? </p>
<p>On this topic, does anybody know if it really hurts you not to take subject tests with the ACT test.</p>
<p>^^i’m taking them for my RD schools, correct.</p>

<p>Don’t shoot the messenger.</p>
<p>The intent of the wording is a little ambiguous considering the requirements of EITHER SAT I/II OR ACT. From a cost perspective it is about $10 to send all your SAT scores and $10 to send EACH ACT test result. If you took the ACT twice, that could be $30 just to send your scores to PENN. That is a little over the top.</p>
