URGENT!! Do Some Colleges Require All SAT Subject Tests?

<p>I know that some colleges don't participate Score Choice and require all of SAT Resaoning Test (SAT I) scores. But is that mean they require all of Subject Tests (SAT II) too?
If it's different for different colleges, what are colleges that require all Subject Tests from the list below?</p>

<p>all ivy league schools
nyu
usc
carnegie mellon
ucerkeley
stanford
mit
uiuc
university of washington
georgia tech
ucla
caltech
ut (austin)
uva
michigan
chicago</p>

<p>Same questions here.
Need to know if I should show up or skip tomorrow.</p>

<p>The rules vary from college to college. For the ones you list:</p>

<p>Penn: requires all tests (SATs, SAT IIs and ACTs)</p>

<p>Cornell: requires all SATs and all SAT IIs; requires all ACTs if you submit any ACTs</p>

<p>Yale: requires either all SATs and SAT IIs or, alternatively, all ACTs (it accepts ACT in lieu of both SAT and SAT IIs)</p>

<p>Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown, Columbia: accept score choice for all tests (SAT, ACT and SAT IIs)</p>

<p>NYU, USC, MIT, Gtech, UT (Austin), UVA, Michigan, Chicago, : accepts score choice for all tests </p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon: requires all SATs, or alternatively, all ACTs (if you submit both tests, all tests must be submitted); and then requires all SAT IIs if particular CMU college requires SAT IIs (not all the CMU colleges require SAT IIs)</p>

<p>UC Berkeley, UCLA: current rule is ambiguous. It requires all SATs if you send any one SAT but unclear whether that rule applies to ACT or SAT IIs</p>

<p>Stanford: requires both all SATs and all ACTs but you can send whatever SAT IIs you want to send</p>

<p>Caltech: accepts score choice for all tests but “strongly recommends” submitting all SAT and SAT II scores (many other colleges usually just say recommend rather than strongly recommend submitting all scores)</p>

<p>UIUC and University of Washington: accept score choice for SAT and ACT and do not use SAT IIs for admission. </p>

<p>@drusba‌ thank you very much! Would it look bad if I take same Subject Test more than once? (2 or 3 times)</p>

<p>Depends on whether you want to believe what the colleges claim. Every college that requires you to submit all SAT subject test scores asserts that it will consider only the highest scores in two (or 3 in the case of Georgetown) different subjects to determine admission. Many have difficulty believing that the college is telling the truth when it says it won’t use low scores against you when it requires you to send those low scores.</p>

<p>As to colleges that do not require you to submit all scores, you can just withhold low scores. if you submit all of them, they will usually consider only the highest two but some, like Princeton and Harvard, state they will consider any sent while focusing mainly on the highest two scores.</p>

<p>Note that you cannot meet the requirements of a college that requires two SAT IIs by submitting two tests in the same subjects (such as a test and its retake, or one in Math 1 and one in Math 2). You need two tests in different subjects.</p>

<p>Also, some schools have specific subject tests that they want to see. For example, if you apply for an engineering division/major/school where subject tests are required or desired, it is likely that you will need to send one in a math (level 2 if you have completed precalculus before 12th grade) and one in a science.</p>

<p>If you are a native or heritage speaker of a non-English language and take the subject test in that language, use it only as an additional subject test beyond any that are otherwise required or recommended. For example, if you are a heritage speaker of French, take the French subject test and score an 800, and apply to a school that requires two subject tests, then send at least two others (making French the third one).</p>
