So yeah, I messed up. Blew off the subject tests and bombed pretty hard. 650 on Math 2 and Lit. Thing is, Princeton doesn’t require subject tests, but they do “recommend” them; but, is that basically just saying that they will they throw my app out the window if I don’t submit them?
To put it into perspective, I want to study something in the humanities, and the rest of my application is truly great. Great GPA and ACT score, top 3% of the class, captain of 2 varsity sports, president of a bunch of clubs, top musician, interesting background, yadda yadda yadda. So my question is, should I just leave out my subject test scores in applying to Princeton? How will this hurt my chances? I’m guessing that the subject tests carry much less weight than the actual SAT/ACT and GPA/Class rank etc.
What should I do?
