Three Subject tests for IVY?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I am currently planning to take Physics & Math Level 2; however, most of the IVY institutions require me to take three subject tests. According to my dad, I should take Math Level 1, but from lots of research I've found out that universities don't look at Level 1 if Level 2 was done. </p>

<p>The baffling question is that if not Math level 1, which subject test should I take? Clearly not Chemistry, and not Bio E/M as I haven't even prepared for it and there are about 8 days left for the test to take place. I want your opinions at which subject do I have best shot on? </p>

No Ivy League school requires more than 2 subject tests.</p>

3

<p>Ivy League schools, such as Harvard and Columbia, require 2 subject tests only. </p>

<p>@Skieurope & @frspzz According to one website -linked with Harvard- says “competitive colleges often require applicants to submit three SAT Subject Tests.” </p>

LOL. So if it’s on the internet, it must be true? Well, it’s not.</p>

6

<p>The only school I know that requires three subject tests is Georgetown. It’s not an Ivy.</p>

7

<p>mmmh, I don’t know really! I will take two subject tests only!</p>

8

<p>Which one are you taking?</p>

9

<p>I think you don’t have much choice when it comes to which one’s. You have taken Maths II so can’t submit Maths I. You are not prepared for Bio or Chem. That only leaves Physics. I am only counting these 4 as if you are applying Engineering than a Maths and Science would look better, though depending upon the school you can submit others.</p>

<p>You are incorrect. No Ivy requires three.</p>

<p>Your dad is incorrect. M1 is a waste if you have a strong score in M2.</p>

<p>fwiw: If you are really after an Ivy, you should recognize that they are first and foremost liberal arts-focused (with only a couple of exceptions for engineering programs). Thus, a high hume/lit score would really help your cause. </p>

<p>@bluebayou‌ What’s 'hume/lit score? By the way, out of blue, how did you cite my words into your comment? I’d like to learn…</p>

A score in a non-STEM subject

<p>What do you mean? Non-STEM? Sorry, I am rookie at this. Also, can I get into top engineering colleges with above average SAT score and 700+ on subject tests?</p>

<p>Thanks for the tip. Are there any others, just curious? </p>

<p>STEM is an acronym referring to the academic disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Non-STEM would be history, literature, foreign language as examples.</p>
